Coming of Age Stories
Freaks and Geeks
In 1999, one of the most authentic portrayals of adolescence to ever be depicted on television went to air. It was praised by critics for its realism and unique blend of comedy and drama. Its creators and stars would go on to become some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Yet at the time, no one watched it, and it was cancelled without all of its episodes going to air.
Join me for a deep dive into the world of Freaks and Geeks, created by Paul Feig, produced by Judd Apatow, and starring Jason Segel, Seth Rogen and Linda Cardellini.
