Madness!

After 8 or so years of reading it in American magazines, I have finally watched Freaks and Geeks. I used to buy the US version of Seventeen/Teen/YM and they always feature this as an “up & coming show” and later on, a “cult show”. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled after one season because of low ratings.

I really hate it when they cancel really good shows. Like Young Americans!!!! It had a cliff-hanger ending and they aren’t even planning on releasing a DVD! On a more positive note, I am soo glad that Freaks and Geeks did not end in a cliff-hanger. Sure, I was sort of curious if Lindsay and Nick got back together again… however, I don’t mind it that much since they both hooked up in real life!!!! lol.

I never found James Franco attractive…until now. I absolutely LOVED him in the episode where he says the same story to convince people that he had a troubled childhood so they should give him some slack. Priceless. I also didn’t like Kim Kelly the first few episodes, until she and Lindsay became friends. Oh, and Sandlot people alert! And of course Judd Apatow connections. I’ve only seen 40 Year Old Virgin though. Hehe.

The pacing is slow *sometimes* but other than that, I loved the show. Funny, cute and weird. Don’t you just love the 80s?
