I'm addicted to this show now that it's on netflix. How did NBC not see the potential in this show?

TV ratings were a different animal 10 years ago. Today, Freaks and Geeks would by far be the highest rated comedy on NBC.

Well thats the worst part about the show and why I tried to not get into it, because it just kind of ends.

Undeclared is also really good, and too shortlived.

It was praised but got few viewers. The network kept changing the time slot and I think skipping weeks sometimes. The commentaries on the DVD are stellar, funny and informative.

NBC always has great shows, then kills them.

Chuck, Community, Black Donnelys, etc.

Freaks and Geeks was the ots version of My So Called Life. A lot of promise, talent, and vision but no network support at all.

I just started watching it on Netflix too. I am hooked. I love the episode with the non-alcoholic beer.

That was my favorite scene in the series, when he uses the same bullshite tearjerker story on the teacher that he used on her earlier, then she just busts out laughing. Cardinelli just spat all over the place when she did it.

And she was smoking, but I saw a recent movie with her in it (Return) and she's starting to show her age. Would still demolish.

And I thought Cindy would grow up to be hotter (again, would still demolish).



Might just be the hair, though.
