I just got the Freaks & Geeks dvd set for easter! Does anyone else have this? SOOOOOOOOO good! I watched the show back when it originally aired (I was in 8th grade, now I'm a high school senior) and it's so great to see it again:) This has gotta be my favorite non-jossverse show. Plus, 29 commentaries!!! Considering there's only 18 eps, that's pretty crazy:) Me love Ken...

I've heard of Freaks and Geeks! Rather interested, been hearing bout it for a while on the MST3k wave. Frank Coniff, I believe was the connection. I'm very happy for you!

Just re-watched Freaks and Geeks. All 18 epsisodes in 2 days. Excellent stuff. If all you Firefly fans are looking for an amazingly brilliant tv show, this is it. It aired Friday nights on NBC, and despite it's hardcore cult-like following from fans, NBC cancelled it. Hmmm...that sounds like another show I like. Anyway, If you like your tv shows with: drama, humor, sadness, and happiness you might want to check it out. Seriously, it's like television with a soul.

Here's to awesome, prematurely cancelled television shows. Like the saying goes "Only the good die young"

I need to check this out. I've heard nothing but good things about it. At least from people that I know have good taste.

Yeah, It's a great show. It's better than about 98% of other tv shows on dvd. The only other show that compares is Firefly in my opinion.

Freaks & Geeks rocks my little world. So much so that I laid out $100 for the extra-fancy special collectors' dvd set.

I was both a freak and a geek in high school, and I've never seen either group portrayed as accurately as in this show.

Yep, yet another great show poorly treated by a network.
That halloween episode was great, specially the scene with Bill acting like the Bionic Woman in front of the mirror. That was classic!

I love that show. The Halloween episode is my favourite. And I thought it was great how they showed a game of 'Dungeons and Dragons' being actually a good time, and not just the way the public see it, which is.. I don't know.. bad.

And who doesn't love Bill Haverchuck?

Bill Haverchuck was always my favorite.

Oh, forgot to mention; the theme song is brilliant. One of the only ones I'll listen to over and over; the others being 'Angel' and 'Firefly'.

I thought the DVD was a bit messed up, though. I mean, they didn't even put any subtitles on it, which was a bit unfair. But that's just the company who released it, as they did that with 'Miracles', too.

Mr. Weir is absolutely hilarious, also.

Bill: "You suck, 'Dallas' rules!"

Man, that set looks so cool, with it's yearbook style packaging, and 8 discs. I want it, but $100 is no walk in the park. I must save.

Oh yes. Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" just happens to be my theme song. Ever since I saw her perform it on "Urgh! A Music War." If I could, I would travel back in time twenty-five years and have her baby.

Yes, this thread is a bit old, but for all the fans of this show, I have a question:

I missed the window of opportunity to buy the Freaks and Geeks deluxe 8 disc yearbook dvd. It is now officially sold out from the Shout Factory website. Has anyone seen these turn up on E-Bay in the past, and if so, what they are going for? I have been checking E-Bay(I'd probably end up paying double what it's worth, but I love the show) and haven't seen any....ever. I messed up. Next time I see a deluxe edition dvd of a show that I love, I will buy it immediately, without second guessing myself.
I can't believe this show only lasted 18 eps. I'm so sad about that.

I got the yearbook DVD thing. It's pretty great. I actually got my sister into the show with the DVDs, although she doesn't obsess about TV on DVD like I do. My favorite character overall is probably Lindsey, but I've forwarded through the whole thing just to watch Bill's scenes because he just cracks me the hell up!!
