Millie got hot, and Alan still looks a bit strange. ALSO BILL.

I really don't remember Jason Schwartzman being in it

I guess they couldn't get Ben Foster back for it either

Smyth2 | 6 Dec '12, 21:58 | X
- I was surprised too when I saw it
  
  he was the guy who got them the fake IDs, I think

A brilliant series. Shame it was pulled after one series. The same

goes for My So-Called Life.

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

untrue | 2 Jan '13, 02:10 | X

OvertakenByTractors and japes this'd this
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.

did this ever get a UK dvd release?

I'm guessing not cos I can't find it anywhere

wecancreate | 2 Jan '13, 20:30 | X
- I don't I could say enough in favour of getting a region free DVD player

    Purchased!
    
    wecancreate @millionaire | 5 Jan '13, 14:25 | X
- 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.

Just finished this now

It's really great isn't it. Such a crush on Lindsay. And Franco.

harman_kardon | 5 Jan '13, 00:50 | X
- every time I watch it
  
  COLOSSAL crush on Lindsay. COLOSSAL.

I'm ripping this onto a DVD for the missus

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

in_limbo | 5 Jan '13, 20:02 | X
- downloaded it but only got round to watching the first episode
  
  the moment this essay is done I'm going on a binge.
  
  Also Anna from the O.C. yay <3<3
