Last night after returning from the mall for what I hope was the last time before Christmas, we watched the very last episode of Freaks and geeks in our DVD set of the show. This show lasted only one season in 1999, and was about what most TVs shows set in high school don't show: the reality of being someone other than part of the 'popular crowd', which I can relate to:) Matt had seen a couple of episodes, but I really didn't know about it until he suggested we rent the season and watch it. From the first episode, it sucked me in! It is funny and sad (bittersweet is the word I guess?) and so realistic. We ended up just buying the whole season and have been watching it for the past month or so. My favorite characters are Lindsay, the main character, Bill, one of the geeks that is so goofy and funny, and Nick, just because he's played by Jason Segel, who is on our other favorite show, How I Met Your Mother - he's just hilarious. It was sad to see the last episode and to think about why good shows like that are cancelled. Now, if How I met your mother is cancelled, I'll freak out...so start watching that if you're not already:)
