  • i just finished watching this for the first time

    so good

    i like programs that get darker as they go on and this one took me by surprise. the first few are really funny, then there's a couple of weak-ish episodes and just when i was worried they used up all the good ideas too soon, there's the really sad run of episodes towards the end about bill and neal. the other thing about F&G that i loved is that it starts off with some cliched high school characters, but they all develop into something more interesting.

    bill's my favourite, though.

    sad it's done, guess i'll watch undeclared next.

    CrispinAlexander | 2 Jan '13, 01:28 | X
    Stringly this'd this
    • 'Undeclared''s quite good

      though takes a while to properly get into it's own (though that may be the fact that I was comparing overly to 'Freaks and Geeks' and wishing that the rumour that it was originally to be a sort of spin-off were true).

      Sadly, it suffers even more from the sense of early cancellation because the last episode doesn't even feel like a finale. :(

      mute-branches @CrispinAlexander | 5 Jan '13, 19:52 | X
  • I recently watched this for the first time since it was aired on E4

    forgotten how brilliant this show was, such a great cast too. A 2nd season would've been great, but I suppose having eighteen 45-minute episodes is like the equivalent of 3 UK series.

    Stringly | 2 Jan '13, 02:03 | X
  • Genuinely never even heard of this

    wtf

  • This show has caused me to be into a couple of quite naff softly rockin 70s hits.

    I've even gone so far as to put them on at parties and people have been embarrassed for me. Apart from the other freaks and geeks fan that one time. Then we both boogied.

    Songs:
    Bob Seger - You'll Accomp'ny Me
    Warren Zevon - Poor Pitiful Me.
    Styx - Come Sail Away

    monoshono | 2 Jan '13, 14:33 | X
    • yeah i ran a clubnight for a couple of years that was primarily pop music and motown

      but if i had been watching it recently i would also play come sail away and it ALWAYS bombed

      cat_race @monoshono | 2 Jan '13, 14:41 | X
      • To be fair the first part of the song is horribly cheesy. And it's really the cinematography, editing and acting that makes it so good in F&G.

        monoshono @cat_race | 2 Jan '13, 15:20 | X
        • see i've thought that

          but i think the first half is terrible just to make the second half be really good. i don't know. i'm biased as fuck.

          cat_race @monoshono | 2 Jan '13, 15:21 | X
          • You definately need the shit part to appreciate the good part better.

    • I had a good look around for it before resorting to a DVD rip

      Don't think it was ever released in Region 2. That was before I learned that my PS3 seems to be quite happy playing anything.

    Will I find anything to like in it, if in general I despise most things set in American high schools?
