Freaks & Geeks

if judd apatow had a soul he'd give us a movie

no kevin corrigan?

Apatow couldn't give you a movie because there would be no way to work in his wife and kids without causing a rift in the space/time continuum.

BTW, Freaks & Geeks newbies via Netflix or whatever: Undeclared was almost as good.

yeahhh i started undeclared like, 5 years ago when i started college and liked it but never finished it. should fix that

Undeclared wasn't nearly as good. In fact, it sucked ass and balls

Undeclared was occasionally amusing. Not remotely in the same league as F&G though

or y'know, what he said

Oh, come on, Undeclared was nowhere near that bad. At the least, all the F&G alumni are great in it. Starr, Segel, et al.

yeah saying it sucked ass AND balls it a bit much perhaps

it sucked half an ass

sucked ass balls
turds ass

just whittling the post down to its essential components

Undeclared is solid.

Undeclared is aight, no better or worse than a lot of 1 season sitcoms full of people who went on to bigger and better things. it turning up on various lists (ilx's best shows of the '00s, that top 25 cult shows OF ALL TIME one) is a bit ridiculous and has made me want to hate on it, but it is what it is.

It is sooooo much better than other orphaned sitcoms, though.

Kinda weird that Kevin Hart was on Undeclared, got to be the biggest star to come out of that show, unless you count Segel

Undeclared had a handful of great episodes but overall wasn't in the same league

Lizzy Caplan definitely deserved a spot here - she was the girl crushing on Jason Segel in the early episodes and she made him disco at the end!

better than ALL other orphaned sitcoms? nahh. better than most? sure.

Kevin Hart did good but i think Seth Rogen's still the big winner by any measure

lmfao at mr rosso in the reunion pix

aw i love these pics :)

leslie mann was on Freaks & Geeks! Their teacher Mrs. Foote in the episode where Bill has a peanut allergy

That's right! Is she in the class picture?

Maybe what I meant is he'd have a hard time making her the star of a "Freaks & Geeks" movie.

3rd row, far right, no?

there are two rows in the mckinley-weir portrait

Gordon is clearly at the far-right end of the third row here

whys coach fredricks shirt changed

who cares? Kowchevski's not in it either

yes and kowchevskis not in the other one either dickhead

Watched Undeclared last week and it took me about five minutes to place Charlie Hunnam. He's actually British! Although he sure isn't on Sons of Anarchy.

wonder if they asked shia lebouf or rashida jones to be in these

yes and kowchevskis not in the other one either dickhead

do you have some conspiracy theory you're advancing here or

Is it just me or does his British accent sound more fake than his American accent?

you can catch a bit of his britisherness occasionally when he lays on the drawl a bit too thick. but otherwise, yeah it's a pretty convincing yankee accent

the... drawl? time to bone up on your descriptions of north american accents!

lol ok touchy. i don't mean southern drawl, just, 'drawl' as in longer vowel sounds

:)

really I've only noticed him having some odd intonation when drawing out those vowels, there's an undercurrent of his original accent where he has to try not to say "caehn't" instead of "caaahn't"

that's what I meant, lol

just watched this for the first time ever. feeling bereft now it is ended. SO good. i may type more, but Max nails it best with "the 'holy shit this is just what it was like' that f&g has".

also LOL at gabbneb being too evolved for F&G.

yeah this show is all-time. I'd still put several other series ahead of it (Sopranos, Mad Men, Twilight Zone) but damn its emotional honesty with its characters is pretty unmatched

it has such a great arc. even though i wish there were more episodes, it tells a story - Lindsay's story - so well, and so completely.

I rewatched it and the bill actor kind of made me real sad because, to me, in F&G, he was the best actor of the bunch. Like just miles ahead of everyone else, and nowadays, as an actor, he doesn't seem to do even a tenth of what he was doing as a kid, idk

I kinda liked the Dead episode, of course.
