I recently saw Linda Cardellini in Scooby Doo and felt a little sad about Freaks and Geeks ending. It was awhile ago that it ended but still. If you have not seen it and went to high school in the 80's you have to watch it!! It was one of the best and most real tv shows ever made. Why did it last only one season? I dont know but I was a fan from the start — the writing was dead-on. Maybe the only thing that was not true-- well I'm pretty sure that in 1980 we weren't already saying "Hey" to each other as the standard greeting. I think the Olde Fashioned "Hi" was still in use quite universally in the average Home Town. I can overlook it though.
Most memorable quotes from the show-
" I heard my mom say to her girlfriend, "Any guy with feathered hair is *foxy*." --Bill
Sam: Uh, dad, can I have an Atari from my birthday?
Harold Weir: An a-what-i?
Jean Weir: That's one of those expensive video games, isn't it?
Sam Weir: No, no! It's not expensive!
Harold Weir: Oh, well, the welfare lines are full of those video game players.
If you have never seen an episode I am sorry but it is not too late
