Last night I watched the episode with the last gif of bill that you posted. I immediately thought "didn't read" gifs....
Aside from all the typical praise....Is this the best soundtrack for a t.v. series ever?

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.
Love that scene. My favorite scene has to be when He gives the geeks the porno and they run dowen the hallway trying to hide the bag, Watch Bill during that scene and try not to laugh
Bill Made that show
The Transfer chick turened out hotter than cindy

Even though I watched it back to back on netflix, His intro on the opening credits cracked me up EVERY TIME.
It got me prepared to watch the show and laugh

Have watched the episodes on Independent Film Channel. Need to check all of it out on Netflix.
I bet it was one of those shows that is a little too honest for some. That's what I like about it.
No matter how "cool" any teenager is they have "uncool" moments. Everyone can relate to someone in it.

I watching the episode where the guys go to a party and play spin the bottle.
Bill is definitely my favorite character of the entire series.

I seem to also remember really enjoying China Beach's soundtrack.

Today, Freaks and Geeks would by far be the highest rated comedy on NBC.
So, they would put it in a shitty timeslot and then cancel it, right?

The whole episode with him and Bills mom was so emotional and real. I may have chocked up a bit when bill was in the car crying
Another reason Bill was the best character, so well rounded
ETA Bills mom was kind of an awful person

Like everyone has said, Bill was hands down the best character, but I also enjoyed James Franco.
The show was fantastic and it being canned was the first time I realized that most people like to watch stupid shite like Survivor instead of quality, well-written television. I say Survivor because IIRC it was around the same time.
