I actually feel personally guilty for not watching when it was on. WTF was I doing? Friends? Are you &@#%ing kidding me?

I am immediately heading to surfthechannel.com to check this out.

Gas was $1.25.
KSU was good in football.
Weezer was still good.
Freaks and Geeks was on.

However, do not expect Freaks and Geeks to be anything like this. It is NOT technically a comedy, though it does have extremely clever and witty moments that will make you laugh. It's a brilliant period piece about being in high school in the early 80s, and it's a perfect blend of poignant and funny.

I randomly starting watching Arrested Development at on hulu.com at work before I even knew he made it. Three episodes in I was like "holy crap this is like Seinfeld Unplugged."

With all the absolute crap on TV (I'm looking at you, "Yes, Dear"), I'm genuinely a bit saddened when I see truly hilarious shows post-mortem.

Post by: jmlynch1 on July 20, 2008, 11:44:06 AM: The Male Freaks on that cast is ridiculous.

James Franco
Jason Segal
Seth Rogan

Talk about a group that dissappeared off the face of the earth.
