I just got the Special Edition Yearbook Box-Set of "Freaks and Geeks", from one of my favorite shops, Newbury Comics, on Newbury Street in Boston. They sell CD's, Records, T-Shirts, all manner of Pop Culture items, oh, Comic Books, and DVD's, esp. at a discount. I was so psyched when I saw this Box set on the shelf I swooped it up right away. I loved this show. It took place in 1980 and followed a bunch of stoners, we would call them burn-outs, and a bunch of geeks, nerds. I really feel like I knew all the characters here. There were definite archetypes in the show, real 3 dimensional portraits of the kids, not characatures. I was younger than these kids in 1980, but I felt like I had witnessed both sides of the coin, nonetheless. Show takes place around Detroit, but much of it could have taken place anywhere, like where I grew up in NJ. The show illustrates that time period exceptionally well, the music, the backgrounds, and the pop culture of the late 70's, early eighties. There are clips of Barney Miller, Charlie's Angels, Dallas, Saturday Night Live, and Gary Shandling doing stand-up. Also there are some great scenes where one of the Geeks (a boy) dresses as Jaime Sommers for Halloween. Fun-ny! And the out-takes are hysterical. I enjoy listening to all the commentary on special edition CD's to get perspective from the writers, directors, actors, and so forth. I always like boxed sets like the Time-Life Six Million Dollar Man because of all those extras. I recommend the Time Life Boxed set if you like that stuff, and also Freaks and Geeks if you like pop culture circa 1980. Not as funny as "That 70's Show", but as a dramedy, it is way more complex and nuanced. It is funny, bittersweet, and sometimes, cringeworthy, kind of like high school. Only 18 episodes. They could have done so much more if not for network politics and the ratings machine. Judd Apatow is a producer (before he was famous), and also stars James Franco, Seth Rogan, Jason Segal, Linda Cardellini, and John Francis Daley (they were so young- filmed in 1999.). Oh, and Joe Flaherty from SCTV. Everything here is amazing! |

Talking about Freaks and Geeks reminded me of another show I loved, 'back in the day' - Square Pegs! |

Many of you have mentioned various series I've watched over the years. My message would be MASSIVE if I mentioned everything. I'm surprised there aren't any Star Trek fans here. Or maybe I missed it. I always liked Star Trek The Original Series and the various spin offs. One of my absolute favorites has always been Deep Space 9. But I do like The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise too. Speaking of special couples, besides Steve and Jamie, I have always had a special love for Quinton and Nola on Guiding Light. Right now, I'm watching Days of Our Lives because I use to watch it years ago and got back to it after Guiding Light was cancelled. Oh, speaking of couples, I also like Donny and Marie Osmond. I've even seen them live in Las Vegas. They were here live in Pittsburgh during Christmas. It was a great show. Even though they're brother and sister, they are a really fun pair. |

Was wondering if anyone here watches Once Upon A Time? Just started to watch the show. It's one of the few adult-ish shows I feel comfortable watching with my daughter in the room, unlike my other adult shows -- Grimm, Criminal Minds, or Sleepy Hollow. Think one could say I'm already a Rumbelle fan, but I've always loved the story of Beauty and the Beast, particularly after I saw La Belle et La Bete by Jean Cocteau one night on TV late in the 80's. Amazing! |
