The comedy/drama Freaks and Geeks limped through its sole season on NBC in 1999 before being expelled by the network–but not before earning critical acclaim and a devoted fan base that fought valiantly to keep it on the air. Now all 18 episodes have been released in this long-awaited boxed set, which allows longtime fans and first-timers alike to enjoy one of television’s most poignant and funny programs about high school.
Created by writer-comedian Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow (The Larry Sanders Show), Freaks and Geeks followed the Weir siblings–former math whiz Lindsay (Linda Cardellini of the Scooby-Doo feature films and ER) and her younger brother Sam (John Francis Daley)–as they navigated the perils and pleasures of a Michigan high school circa 1980. What separated Freaks and Geeks from most other scholastic series was its brutal honesty–Lindsay and Sam, as well as their friends and parents, were given very human personas that showed failure, malice, indecision, and moments of great clarity. Likewise, the plotlines rarely offered pat solutions to the characters’ conflicts–the show unfolded in a naturalistic manner, which was a welcome respite for viewers tired of flashy high school dramas. When combined with its smart dialogue and winning performances (the cast included SCTV veteran Joe Flaherty and Spider-Man star James Franco, as well as the sublime and criminally underrecognized Martin Starr and Seth Rogen as Sam’s pal Bill and dry-witted Ken, respectively), the show became a haven for fans of quality television, if only for a brief period of time.
The six-disc boxed set provides over 40 hours of supplemental material, which should satiate even the most obsessive of fans. Twenty-nine separate commentaries from the show’s creators, cast (and as some of their parents!), composer Mike Andrews, and fans are included, as are 60 deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and cast auditions. However, the most striking extra is the warmth that radiates from the commentary participants–their pleasure in taking part in such a quality program is palpable, and will undoubtedly be echoed by all who watch these discs. –Paul Gaita

Rating: - One of the Best of All Time
As a fan of Judd Apatow’s recent movies, I was thrilled to learn that he also served as an Executive Producer and writer on “Freaks and Geeks,” which also starred some of the best actors from his film. So I came for the Judd Apatow humor… and stayed for everything. “Freaks and Geeks” is an utterly flawless high school comedy drama that is acted by some of the most talented young people around and written by truly hilarious people who bring out the funny in every day life, and are also deeply … Read More

I bought this set for a gift for my daughter who missed out on the whole freaks and geeks! I love this show, and she will love it too.
Rating: - An absolute must have
What a shame the series ran only one season. It is so well written and perfectly cast. My 15 year old started to watch it with me and I later found him in the middle of the night finishing the whole series! The added features, outtakes and commentary are fun to watch too. It is well worth every penny, don’t miss this one.
Rating: - BEST SHOW EVER!
I’m on the 4th disc right now and every episode just gets better and better. I know I can just watch them over and over again!
Rating: - Greatest Comedy Ever!!!
It truly is a shame that this incredible show only lasted one season, but this season really does deliver, in every way possible! Fantastic acting, writing, music, and more. I am happy with the condition of the box set, and it arrived quickly after I placed the order. I highly recommend this show to all fans of shows like “The Wonder Years” and “My so-called Life”.
