Freaks & Geeks

[Rocco Jones]

Does anyone here watch Freaks & Geeks? I absolutely love the show but judging by it's time slot I don't think many people share my passion for the show. So does anyone here like or even ever watch it?

I love the show, unfortunately due to its time slot i rarely get to watch it. Wish they gave it a shot during primetime, i'm sure it would attract a decent audience.

Saw it the other night, it's a shocker, If I wanna watch a show like that I need some flesh to get me through it, and with the cast on that, I'd rather not. Gimmie Dawson's anyday

I love it, its funny and very well done. You actually think your in the 70's! Linda Cardellini is hot too!

I agree it's a top show I used to watch it all the time but I've lost my passion for TV these days, how un-australian of me

I watched it once, it's alright.

I've been taping it and watching it. It's allright.

Is that the chick that plays Lindsay or the blonde bad girl? I know a man of your taste wouldn't think the pin head is hot.

It's Lindsay, and it's also Velma from Scooby Doo.

I used to watch it when it was on at 7:30 Sat night and then late Fri nights but then it went missing on me........if it's on again I would love to know when and what channel.....it was was on channel 9 when I watched it.

Great show, tragic that it never went past a first series. Since they showed the episodes at 2am in Perth, I always taped them.

Worth watching, for no other reason than the fact that the guy who plays drums and is obsessed with the band Rush was me about 10 years ago. Gives me high school flashbacks

Linda Cardellini plays Lindsay and was recently on Rove looking pretty hot. The blonde bad girl is pretty average.

I absolutely love this show. They only made one season unfortunately. It got great critical reviews but not so great ratings and was dropped. I like the show because they don't run with the cheerleader/quarterback types. There is not one character I don't like. Lindsay and Sam's parents are hilarious and the guidance counsellor is a crackup.

I think the name of the show put some viewers off. I think the name makes it sound like a cheap Saved by the Bell rippoff.

I guess this is a show that doesn't aim at the lowest common denominator. It has great writing and relies on intelligence and humour as opposed to alot of todays shows. I always had the impression that this would be a show that would suddenly catch on with the public. I guess I overated the public.

One of my other favourite shows is Daria. Yes, that cynical slightly too smart for own good queen of gloom. I reckon that both of these shows appeal to a more discerning audience. There are some people out there who just don't get these shows, these are usually the people who used to be the jocks in highschool and are the butt of most jokes.
