Poll of the Day > Wow Freaks and Geeks might be like, the best show ever. Or at least one of.

(+) Yeah! (+)

seriously the only "bad" episode was the last one, but it wasn't really a bad episode as much as it was an out of place one. they captured the high school social status things pretty much perfectly, and all the characters were actually people I cared about and had some good character development going.

amazing 10/10 show. sorta glad it ended when it did, so that it didn't run on for longer than it should've

Like it's so good how relate-able everything is. The show is set in 1980 and I went to high school in 2010, and everything is exactly the same, save for some pop culture references (like I didn't know a ton of kids into Alice Cooper, for example).

The show was incredibly ahead of it's time. Like, what other show has explored hermaphroditism in such a respectable way?

oh man you're so right. It was literally an issue for maybe two episodes and it ended with "she's little different, but she's comfortable with herself and she's a great person and I love her. I don't care if that makes me gay or straight or just plain weird."

It's a pretty solid show. Wouldn't say amazing, but I like it quite a bit.

I liked it a lot, but I was disappointed in how many things were left hanging at the end.

Now go watch Undeclared, TC. Same creator.

my biggest problem with the end is how a lot of elements were never mentioned before but were suddenly important.

like Lindsey was a good student, but it was never implied she was top of her class. and now she's suddenly top in the state? since when were the geeks in the A/V club? Rosso never tried turning anyone onto the Dead before this episode.

The girl whose into nick in the last episode is hoottttttt though, so I guess everything else can be forgiven.

oh and @Metalsonic66

i dunno if you've seen this before, but here's creator Paul Feig's take on what would've happened if the series went on (warning turn on your ad block)

Tc don't get your hopes up when it comes to undeclared.. it's good, but nooooooowhere near what freaks and geeks is.

I agree, freaks and geeks is amazing

I keep trying to tell my coworker that Stranger Things is like a cross between Freaks and Geeks and X-Files. But he's never seen this show so he only understands 2/3rds of what I'm saying D:
