Profile of Freaks and Geeks

Freaks and Geeks can be described as witty, sentimental, and bittersweet. The plot revolves around high school life, social relations, and misfits. The main genres are comedy, drama, and period. In terms of style, Freaks and Geeks stars an ensemble cast. In approach, it is realistic. It is set, at least in part, in the suburbs and at a high school. Freaks and Geeks is located in Detroit. It takes place in the 1980s. The TV show has received attention for being a cult favorite, a hit series, and an Emmy winner. Freaks and Geeks is well suited for teens.

Summary of Freaks and Geeks

Despite being cancelled after only 18 episodes, the subsequent cult built up around the Freaks and Geeks television series has seen the show's popularity skyrocket. Internet campaigns and strong word-of-mouth have lead to a burgeoning fanbase which has clamored for the release of the shows. Now finally available, the program is presented here in its entirety. Set in 1980, the show ostensibly follows two groups of high school kids (the "freaks" and the "geeks") as they attempt to navigate the pitfalls of adolescence. Among the colorful characters are the Geeks: Bill, Sam, and Neil, three awkward pre-teen friends undergoing some excruciating, but funny, growing pains. The Freaks are a group who revolve around Sam's older. army-jacket-clad sister, Lindsay, a talented mathematician undergoing various crises of confidence involving life, college, and her on-again, off-again stoner boyfriend. It all adds up to a potent mixture that is moving, funny, and grounded in a reality which accurately captures the often painful experience of being a teenager.

Unwilling to give in..

Make no mistake, Hollywood kept show like this out of your living room to keep bringing us garbage like 90210 remakes, jersey shore and other junk just to keep the status quo. Who wants to see a bunch of geeks and random people that nobody cares... Read and rate it

With shows like 90210 and Gossip Girl out right now, you got to wonder what happened to shows like this. It's just as realistic as another great (and short-lived) high-school show My So-Called Life, but not as harsh. They never fall into the endless... Read and rate it
