Episode 1.10 'Freaks and Geeks'

Send us Fan MailWe spend the better part of this episode getting caught-up after a long time away from each other.  We don’t totally ignore the the TV watching part of the show, but it takes second fiddle to a disturbing reveal from Jason, discussions of cross-breeding, and one of the most pitiful homecoming dates ever.  Let's face it, Freaks and Geeks is hands-down greatness.  Pretty sure we’ll be watching this one for a while.   Freaks and Geeks is an American teen comedy-drama television series created by Paul Feig and executive-produced by Judd Apatow that aired on NBC during the 1999–2000 television season. The show follows gifted high schooler Lindsay Weir, who befriends a gang of slacker "freaks", and her younger brother Sam, as he and his geek friends navigate high school. Eighteen episodes were completed, but the series was canceled after only 12 had aired. A fan campaign persuaded NBC to broadcast three of the remaining episodes in July 2000, with the rest of the unaired episodes airing that fall on Fox Family Channel.
