One of my favorite shows of all time. Well written and hysterically funny, yet subtle. The characters are all awesome, but my favorites are probably Bill and Ken. Too many great moments to list, but some highlights for you to look forward to: Sam's liesure suit and Ken's "girlfriend".

BTW, did you get the deluxe version with the yearbook packaging? Probably the coolest DVD packaging you'll ever see.

I loved this show! Was mad that it got cancelled though. Was definitely an original show, funny and great. Haven't gotten the DVD set yet. That's one of my must-have's. :)

One hell of a great show! Look on the bright side, if it had gotten picked up, it would have eventually jumped the shark and we wouldn't look so fondly upon it.

Thinking back, it's hard to believe the show only lasted one season. They sure crammed alot of plotlines into that single season.

Thanks to Knocked Up and Undeclared, I decided that Apatow and friends other projects deserve my attention and have been checking out this show. Just this weekend I made my way through the first 3 discs. Fantastic show, I don't even really remember it being on though.

Be careful ... they're all associated with Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty as well! :evil:

Don't worry, I had no plans on checking out either of those anyway. Evan Almighty looks beyond terrible.

This show, on the other hand, is rather fantastic.

Undeclared was really a great show, when I could figure out what time/day it was on.

I caught it about midseason the year it ran. I liked it so much I'd actually leave my night class I had that night early to watch it and soon after it was cancelled. I've seen them all on dvd now, but it's such a shame neither of those shows lasted, they're way better than most of the stuff on tv now.

The pilot and finale of Freaks and Geeks are two of my favorite hours of television. This is probably my favorite DVD collection.
