"Freaks and Geeks" was well before its time. Nostalgia for the 80's only started occurring in the late 2000's/early 2010's, and would definitely last for several seasons if it were released nowadays.
Wedding Singer…I love the 80s. It was already happening in the late 90s early 2000s. I think. Technology was moving very fast, and culture was evolving, so the 80s looked very very different by the year 2000.
I watched the show, finally, after years of having heard about it. I quite liked it. It is a shame they cancelled it. Also, a reboot would be awful, just saying.
I would love to see a reboot, as long as they have mostly the same cast. There are so many interesting story lines they could do with the older characters. We could see what kind of careers and families they had, maybe have their kids attend McKinley, etc. I’d love to see how Lindsey would handle being a mom of a teenager.
i hung at aicn at the time we all were pissed at some bad reviews and the fact that fox did so little to build an audience for the show they did the same thing to wonderfalls

Facts
omg you're right! this show on Netflix nowadays would be #1
I thought it was on Stranger Things came out. Maybe on the Indy seen

One of the greatest shows of all time!
Gotta love the ego of some exec(s) preventing more of this genius show from being made!
Agreed
Netflix would have snatched Freaks and Geeks up in minute if it had existed back then.
Thanks for this interview. I've had to take a break from watching cause I'm so friggen sad it ended the way that it did.
Sort of a finishing school for many 2000s stars.
I loved this show, sucks that it only got one season. Also crazy to look back on the cast and see how many have gone on to become stars.
Judd always cast amazing people
Except Samm lol
NBC did this show dirty. An 8pm time slot on Saturday when digital recording wasnt a thing waa a death wish for this show. Wish we got a season 2
one of the most ill conceived cancelations of all time.
I miss this show every day
i wasnt shocked when the show got cancelled
every show that i like, that doesnt cater to the lowest common denominator, gets cancelled
They canceled this show but gave Two Broke Girls six seasons.
I just watched this and I loved it. I am so sad it was cancelled. It really is one of my top things that I have watched this year :)
The last 20 seconds of this is so true. It was a brilliant show from top to bottom.

Imagine If This Show Was Never Canceled. Would’ve Easily Went Down As One of The Greatest Television Shows Ever.
Fantastic show
The internet really did level the playing field. Two actors doing an interview less than 20k views. A kid playing a videogame, 3.5 million views haha.
Netflix really could bring it back. Make the original cast the parents. Although I believe seth said he would never work with Franco again.
Still watching. Came here to look for maybe a remix or something. What a huge mistake to cancel!
Bro let him speak☠️
cant belive they did that
Freaks and geeks definitely didn’t get its due! If they would’ve gave it 1 more season it would’ve taken off I’m sure of it
If they gave it a good time slot and a consistent run it would had a shot
This dude. Always asking if people cried....
Wow
1:41 “The critics loved it”??? I thought it got mixed reviews when it aired, no?
Yes
At the time a lot of the reviewers were 50+ and didn’t get it.
