Freaks & Geeks

I really wasn't expecting that hermaprodite bit, that was an interesting twist.

The $120 special edition boxed set even has table readings, for pete's sake.

xpost; slutsky, I thought the same thing, but $120!

(Not to mention the hugely overpriced Prisoner discs.)

i thought that was sort of a weird story.

but you're crazy to diss the beautiful and talented Busy Phillips. Whenever she would utter "Like I give a care," I'd fall in love all over again.

I think she is on ER, but I can't say for sure since I don't watch that show.

(xp)

(woah, the photo on her IMDB page is scarrrry)

there's a...deadness there now

She's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye.

whoa i do not follow blogs or w/e but i didnt realize sarah marshall was supposed to be her

She is also Chris Cooper's oil developer character in The Muppets because Segel is unable to write fiction and everything in all his scripts is transcribed directly from his real life

sic is on to something

sexy, sexy Chris Cooper

which junkie british rockstar did Cardellini bang btw

yes!

I don't actually think its that good of a tumblr but I just love this show and Lindsay weir so much

<3 this tumblr, <3 lindsay

Mr. Weir mentoring Nick was such a moving episode

I am almost done watching this. love almost everything about it. including Neil getting his ass beat by cheerleaders.

and also him acting like a cutup, like saying "I had a great time with your wife last night" when he was the catcher

one of the great ensemble casts for sure - there's not a weak link anywhere. bill watching garry shandling on his own with a grilled cheese breaks my heart and makes me laugh every time. martin starr is the best

damn i should watch this again

yeah martin starr having a career is kind of a miracle cuz he was so great on freaks and geeks but i just assumed we'd barely ever see him again.

bill watching garry shandling on his own with a grilled cheese breaks my heart and makes me laugh every time. martin starr is the best

this. I love this show so much. I could watch it again.

i love seeing martin starr anywhere but as much as i like him as a sardonic asshole in party down and silicon valley i wish he got to to do more of the nuanced, sympathetic stuff he did as bill haverchuck - even his posture was perfect ffs

okay i've talked myself into watching this again right now

we rewatched last year and did not regret it all

martin starr is easily the best thing about this show

Easily?

it was so easy for me to say it, therefore yes

i just watched the pilot again and bill's awkwardness is so vivid and painful that it doesn't really seem like acting at all

my overriding memory of this show (which I only saw for the first time 4-5 years ago) is by the end of every episode my other half would be in floods of tears and just saying how much she was like the linda cardinelli character as a kid. there's a truthfulness to this show you don't see much in programmes about young people. the episode where the drummer kid quits playing drums is just so harsh and powerful.

Rly want to watch this again, not sure if i can in the uk?

Isn't it on netflix? I think it used to be?

it is in the US

Been watching this as a family. Been a while, but perfectly cast, well written, very almost unusually nuanced and empathetic. My kids are digging it.

Just saw a 90-min show on it on A&E, worth seeing.

Started this tonight for something I've been working on. Found the first episode slow but promising. This probably came up somewhere on The Virgin Suicides thread, but it's amazing that (from the air/release dates I was able to look up) they scooped Coppola on "Come Sail Away" by a few months (best scene in the pilot, I'd say). Coppola's film also had a key scene with a Down Syndrome character--I don't know if she's ever talked about it, but she seems to have been influenced by the TV show.

Often great. Enough so that when it wasn't, I wanted its many flaws smoothed over. And when the flaws started to take over, something great would happen.

well this is a big hit w my 12yo daughter

:D

She sees right through Daniel’s bad boy act fyi

My kids *loved* it when we watched it as a family.

#raisedright

loved this. the dramatic elements were grounded and relatable, regardless of when you grew up. hell, Nick's failed drumming audition was heartbreaking! or Neil finding out his dad was a low-life.

In hindsight this getting canceled after 1 season was sign of the decline of America
