Re: Freaks and Geeks

Please excuse my brief posting.

Its a coming of age US High School drama/comedy set in the early 80's.

A bit like Dazed and Confused/Wonder Years

Exclamation Re: Freaks and Geeks

Hi,

I should mention, that a) this show was made back in 1999/2000, and thus, isn't really new, per se, and b) was bought by Channel 4, but to-date, it's never been aired. Not surprising, really, bearing in mind it's a US-import.

Pooch, is this forum only for current shows? Is there a different one? I get so confused with all the sub-forums

Thumbs up Re: Freaks and Geeks

Russell,

This forum is for any TV shows, old or new, shown anywhere in the world (although it's mainly covering the US and UK), and/or TV shows available to buy on discs in one form or another.

The only thing to note, is that some Thread Titles, will have the words "Spoiler" attached to it, so that you will be forewarned that posts in that particular thread, contain details of stuff that may not have aired here in the UK yet (and which usually means people are downloading off of the Net)!

Hope that clarifies things for you! Any more problems/questions, just ask.

Also refering to programs that have been aired but give polts away, like X gets killed. Some people may have missed it and are waiting for a repeat etc. This even means giving plots away that have happend like 40 years ago.
There always someone who will have not seen the program and may get a chance one day.

Re: Freaks and Geeks

Don't think Russell could have given away less in his post.

Might have to get this show, I've been considering it since a small mention in Total Film a long time ago. Doesn't seem like anyones gonna show it.
