Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series (DVD, 2004, 6 Disc Boxed Set)

Like many I was puzzled and frustrated when Freaks & Geeks disappeared from our TV screens...the show was pure genius, eloquently exploring the universal truths of adolescence, why kill it? Thank goodness someone in corporate America saw the market for a DVD boxed set of the complete series. I grew up in a different time (the early seventies) and place(the north of England) yet I could both recognize and identify with these characters in a 1980s high school in Michigan. Hey Nick, just like Lindsey I couldn't have dated you back then, but I bet you've made the best husband and father( ...though Sam could probably have given you a run for your money). See how invested I am in these guys...only 18 episodes and yet I am speculating (and hoping) for their future lives.

Thank you Ebay for allowing me to buy the complete series at a bargain price so that I could introduce my children to this band of supposed misfits...my kids are high schoolers in the 21st century, yet after seeing the DVD totally recognized that sometimes it is a very thin line that separates the Freak from the Geek. Hey but at least no one in my family runs with the popular kids!

this is highly reccomended this is an awesome series!it is one of my favorites its too bad they didnt make more it is very addicting!.

I love how funny this series is. The totally true-to-life and brutally honest episodes are hilarious, especially since a lot of the situations the characters find themselves in are totally awkward. It makes you feel a little bad for the characters though, because at the same time you're laughing your head off. I totally recommend this series!

This is the most awesome series! True to life, meaningful, funny, entertainment at it's Best! I can't say enough Good things about this series.
I can't Understand Why it was ever taken off the air??????

I thought I received great service. This dvd was as described - just what I expected - and it arrived in a timely manner. Thank you!!

I was surprised on how fast the box set came so quickly. It was well packaged, so I had no problems with damages.

Amazing show if you've ever watched it you'll know, if not and you like Judd Apatow then you'll like it as well.

Wife & 15 yr old Was Glad We Finally It. They Use To Watch When I Was Working On 2nd Shift. Now We the Dvd " I Love It " Too.

I bought this 'cause I remember the series fondly and I wanted to share it with my daughter who is now high school age. She loved it as much as I did and hated to see it end. It's that rare blend of funny/touching and we laughed and cried watching it together. Alot of reviews concentrate on the specific high school characters which we both grew to love; I also want to give props to the parents--especially the Weirs, how real and true--not your usual wisecracking sitcom parents, but very human and identifiable. How I would love to see a Freaks and Geeks reunion movie (where are they now sort of thing!).

it really show's the demographics of high school cliques. how kids treat each other when put into a situation they have no control over, and how they try to get control of themselves and become functioning adults

I'd heard about a quirky show that was unjustly canceled recently and took the winter break to sit and watch a few episodes. I finished the 18 episode complete series in 3 days. This is probably one of my favorite shows, and I'm sad I wasn't part of the campaign to bring it back. The storyline, revolving around teenagers Lindsay Weir and her crew of "freaks" and her younger brother Sam and his gang of "geeks" set in 1980 Michigan, flows throughout the series, but you don't need to have seen every episode to know whats going on and quickly become enthralled in the relationships and events that weave the show together.
And similar to other Apatow ventures, F&G isn't too "drama-ey" and instead leans on humor and is really more of a comedy than anything. I love the fact that for once a trip down memory lane to high school revolves around a group other than the jocks, cheerleaders and popular kids that riddle most within the genre.
Well written and some superb performances from many up and coming actors (James Franco pre-Spider-Man, Linda Cardellini on "ER" and although I don't think he's a particularly good actor, a young Seth Rogan) as well as cameos from now more famous actors, this is a very well rounded show that casts doubts upon the people who program television to let a gem like this be canceled after only 12 episodes and allow sub-standard sitcom rubbish to continue on air for years and years.
I support all musicians, movies and TV I enjoy with buying DVD's and I'll make sure it rarely stays home. That way the legacy of this show that was too soon for its time won't soon be forgotten.

Loved this show and was really sad when it got cancelled after just one season. It won many awards but they kept messing with the scheduling of the show and switching it to different nites so it never really had a chance. Really a shame. One of the best shows ever!!!!

Very quick shipping. Definitely would buy from again. Absolutely love this show so very excited now I won it!

probably was the funniest show ever canceled after one season? what was nbc thinking? this show is great the Halloween episode is by the far the funniest if you haven't seen this show you are missing a classic.

After renting the first four disks - I decided I HAD to buy the set! It is such a great show -- I am a big Judd Apatow fan and wanted to see all of his work. It's so funny and real and my kids 18-24 love it too.

Freaks and Greeks is amazing show that was sadly canceled after only airing for barley one season on multiple channels. If you loved the 80's, well the underground 80's this show is for you!

some of the episodes skiped when it was brand new ... probly due to a badd rip however i loved the shows

freaks and geeks has been one of my favorite shows since it was on the air, since then i have been looking all over for the season at a reasonable price. When i found it I had to jump at the chance. I was also very pleased with how fast i received it.

freaks and geeks is probably one of the best shows ever and one of the most underated! perfect for a fan of any of judd apatow's work. the only downside is that the series is too short!!

The storylines were great. The music, fantastic. The networks really messed up when they didn't renew the series. My only beef is with the dvds' commentaries. I would have liked the episode audio to have been louder while they described what was going on.

ITS REALLY FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING AND IF THE SHOW HADN'T BEEN CANCELED I WOULD STILL BE WATCHING IT. THE CAST ESPECIALLY WORKS REALLY WELL TOGETHER WHICH BRINGS THE SHOW ALIVE AND MORE BELIEVABLE.

One of the best tv shows ever. The cast has come along way since the show. It belongs in every DVD collection.

This has to be one of the funniest shows of all time. Its a shame it didnt last as long as it should have.
