Freaks and Geeks Intro

[Joebobzilla]

Lindsay was going to start of season 2 on LSD. I would have liked to see that.

[iinspectra]

So far upto episode 8.

I never, ever in my holy dreams could have imagined that I'd ever like a teen high school sitcom before this show.

[LeLimeLine]

How.

The.

Fuck.

Did this show not go on forever?

[skorpi0n]

This was one of the greatest shows of all times. Damn those who cancelled it.

[TheCarlScharnberg]

Loved this show, it was brilliant.

[nextdrumer87]

ahhh, i had completely forgotten about this show until sundance channel started showing it again,Every mon-fri until the 18th ep and now after the last ep i dont know what to do with me self i freaking loved this show i feel like my friends got killed,,,,,,, am i crazy ? i loved those characters, its more than just missing the show i guess its also missing that timing when it aired.

[kristell9]

I don't know what's worse. Identifying with the characters or spotting inaccuracies in their 70s world. Giving Joe Flaherty a part is the show was a good idea, though.

[SleepingAtTheMovies]

@kristell9 Its supposed to be the 80's

[WednesdaysAttack]

This IS the best Tv show, they were fools to cancel it. 

[MrJib88]

Sorry for the rant, I just bloody love this show!

[MrJib88]

America arguably makes the BEST television in the world, evident by this absolute gem of a show. Myself coming from England we tend to get the exports of their best. But it absolutely kills me to see great shows like Freaks and Geeks, and Partydown get cancelled. And to see the likes of Glee and Two and a Half Men to constantly be churning out lazy, dumbed down television to the masses. I guess we show tv executives we are as dumb as they think we are, and don't deserve well written tv :(

[youstolemyjeans]

@MrJib88 it's true =< i'm european either and all the good shows like these became so very addictive until they get canceled for no good reason... and of course, glee and other crap like that stays..

[SleepingAtTheMovies]

@MrJib88 haha Freaks and Geeks and Party Down are my two favorite shows right now!!

[FalseProphet70]

best show ever



[liplegend]

This show was soo god damn good, too bad it's done

[BestGirlSingersHere1]

gotta love all those "Bill-isms"!

[BestGirlSingersHere1]

I still totally love this show! I once spent a weekend watching all 18 episodes in a succession of 10 minute YT clips.

[balmung123]

oh! hi cindy

[nikkinguyenofficial]

@balmung123 lol I can't remember how many times he said that. One of the best show ever xD

[deggis4]

linda gardellini <3

[lunylovegood086]

James Franco was damn sexy!!!

[mattersalma]

Martin Starr is the best.



[MrProDizzle]

freaks got big geeks flopped

[olivecronas]

@MrProDizzle John Francis Daley is a regular on Bones. That's better than or at least on par with Busy Phillips.

[spInrAt42]

best show ever

[melissaratliff]

John Francis Daley is so little!!



[ddioppp]

jason segel looks retarded. haha

[Braytholomew]

I'm 16 and this Is my favourite show ever, makes me wish I grew up in that era.

[FunnyFredOfficial]

0:18 how hard is it for James Franco to Smile

[itsallgrandandgreen]

0:27 seth rogen looks so scary

[stevenrobinsonmovies]

I freakin love this show too many NBC cancelled it. The only thing we have now are reruns and the DVDs. But we all must admit the cast is still pretty successful all of them are still around making comedies that is rare for teen show stars. I am pissed at least it should have gotten a second season

[edenstar196]

how does a show like this get cancelled. it was soooo good. !

[iNvictaStudios]

Thank God for IFC and Teen Nick.

[underwearmonster]

such a jip that Busy wasn't in the opening credits

[fariz90]

why have i never heard of this shooww.when is this from?

[IEatBananas]

@fariz90 It's from the late 90's, like 1999 I think. It only lasted one season before the jerks at NBC cancelled it. Great show, Undeclared is awesome too, and had the same fate :(

[elstado1]

such a cool show.

[Maythewolf12]

Wow A Very Young seth rogen =3

[OnePineTree]

Why they cancel this show? James Franco is so handsome!!!

[Trund27]

BEST. SHOW.

[RetardedPandaFilms]

How can bull shit like desperate housewives stay on and this cant?!??! TELL ME!!!!

[guntzborg]

What a fucking beautiful show this was.

[mjknlr]

Gotta wonder if we'll ever have a show like this again.

[PhXSuNs6281]

@mjknlr that would be negative my friend

[heyyitsashya]

I love this show!

[1pz2s]

Seth rogen want kill the photograph 

[itskylieandlaurenbby]

James Franco was pretty dan sexy if you ask me (;

[Charizaad]

anyone no the font???

[Sambacaliente]

I loveeeeee freaks and geeks !!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

[Camila8liveira]

John Frances Daley was so cute on this show! I loved the geeks.

[prorollerskater]

@Camila8liveira He was!

[DeadIslandTrailers]

i don't think this was ever show in canada....i don't ever remember seeing it, although i've heard a lot about the show.

[Hero0fTimeLink12]

Why isn't Kim Kelly in the intro? I dont mean to bash on Ken but shes in more episodes than him.

[xxkeichii]

I don't get my Busy wasn't in the intro! D:

[Mprator]

@xxkeichii

Maybe her parents wouldn't pay for the pictures. ;p

[Mprator]

Linda Cardenelli was so fuckable in this.

And don't say she was jailbait, she was 24.

I didn't like her on ER cause her char was a bitch, and she looks better with her natural hair color.

[RetardedPandaFilms]

5 people were jocks in high school...

[RetardedPandaFilms]

Lindsay is hooot!

[9998Flash]

does anyone know why jason segel was cracking up

[sk8erguy011]

@9998Flash well his character in the show is kind of "out of it". haha

[alexv1]

This show is legendary, I just watched bad teacher, and its great to see the cast of this show have all done well and all constantly appear together!

[rawritsmex33]

Does anyone else think James Franco looks like Matt Dillon?

[DREWLOCO1997]

why was this cancelled?

[vio2112]

The second I lay eyes on this show, it just start to feel good even if life has me really down. That's how great it is!

[Imacougarrr]

I miss watching this shoe!!! Tear* :(

[karatekid1984iscool2]

1.I watch the show on Teennick at 12. The show is awesome!

2.I love the cast and theme song and video

[madcap66laughs]

I see why this show was canceled after one season. It was just a failed remake of the wonder years. A shame because it had an amazing cast. All in all the show wasn't that bad because I always find myself watching it when it's on t.v.

[CarlThePurpleUnicorn]

I <3 MISFITS! ;P

[PUNKRainbowZZZ]

Perhaps they intended for him to be noticably rubbing his eyes. Like it was meant for his character to be playing a joke for the pictures, where he looks high.

Or, as everyone else has said, maybe he was supposed to actually be high and they never realized it was so blatantly obvious he was rubbing his eyes.

/end pointless comment

[nike316]

It's a shame this show was so short lived. It's good to see that it has such a strong following though. Much stronger than when it originally aired, from the looks of it.

[funnystuff114]

I just finished watching the whole series for the first time.. truly one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.. it's a damn shame it was cancelled so soon

[sonictrasher]

I always try to do the James Franco laugh when I see the intro. I never got the hang of it.

[DBZdumbass555]

@sonictrasher haha me too.

[rafboe]

When seth rogen comes for his picture, you can see jason segel rub his eyes and when he actually comes forward his eyes are all red like he has been crying. Just coincidence or has this any meaning?

[staronciceli]

@rafboe i think he's supposed to be high.

[rafboe]

@staronciceli That could make sense :-)

[PunksWithGuns]

@rafboe You are so young... *pats head*

[rafboe]

@PunksWithGuns Sure... *pats head back*

[PunksWithGuns]

@rafboe *purrs*

[valromatorre]

@rafboe red (or bloodshot) eyes usually mean that a person is high... nick (jason's character) is a stoner soooo put the two together and there's your answer(:

[njpelli]

It really is unbelievable looking back and realizing what an all-star cast this show actually had.

[Barbeta13]

@TheOtherMonkeyFan true story

[brains2blame]

if you look right before nick goes up for his foto he is rubbing his eyes intensely so they look red for him to look high xD

[Flyers9195]

@brains2blame Oh my god...thats hilarious! How'd they miss that?

[brains2blame]

@Flyers9195 a mystery to all im sure :)

[Poltroon]

@brains2blame : that's just reading in drug references that aren't even there. Far more likely that he's just tired, has overslept and is none too happy about having a school photo taken at this ungodly hour.

[selmasoo]

Man, I miss this show.

[TheMamasMunchkin]

this is the best tv show intro i've ever seen. honestly. the song is perfect for it :)

[twizawia]

Oh James :)))))

<3

[holagirl2723]

@twizawia so hot LOL

[twizawia]

@holagirl2723 I know :) And he's just as hot in person. I finally got the honor to meet him in April and WOW, he's beautiful.

[holagirl2723]

@twizawia wow u are very lucky if u dont mind srry but how did u meet him?

[twizawia]

@holagirl2723 He did a poem reading in New World Center at Miami and I got tickets. :) He ended up not making it to the event because his flight got re-routed (due to Obama's arrival at the airport he was supposed to land at) BUT he felt really bad and flew all the way BACK to Miami just to sign books. He really cares about his fans. Lol. We ended up waiting 2 extra hours just to have him sign something really quick but it's ok cause he smiled at me :)

[holagirl2723]

@twizawia wow u are lucky n yes he does seem really nice :)

[159mychemicalromance]

0:19

[LiquidSolidusSnake]

Haaaaaaaa

Let it load up completely then hold down 3

Franco has a seizure

[theliarintheglass]

Probably the best intro to a television show.

[SolidCorn]

At 0:25, Jason Segel is rubbing his eyes to make it look like he's stoned. At least that's what he said on the commentary.

[savetheearthkillme]

0:20 <3

[edgehaedjr]

I can never not laugh/smile after James Franco does his smile. Impossible for me.

[spencer15ify]

0:05-0:08

back then she was cracking hot, i mean that's pure beauty....

she's killed my heart, oh my sweetie.

[curlycaity]

plus im toatally in love with seth rogens character afetr about ep 12, he's such a sweetie :)

[curlycaity]

im 13 now, and i find this show so relateable, way better than glee and that nickelodien crap...its real and you feel sypathtic towards every character (except that bitch cindy lol) I love it sooo much

[selmasoo]

I love 36-38.

[roflolwtfomg]

Why wasn't Kim Kelly in the intro :\

[bdirknoel1077]

@roflolwtfomg Don't think she became part of the regular cast until after the pilot, at which point the credits had already been made

[DaGoulian]

YEAH J ELVIS WEINSTEIN! Dr.Erhardt!

[ymechaie]

the main actress reminds me of juno

[roflolwtfomg]

@ymechaie I've always thought the same thing

[Wilco362]

If this show came out now it would definitely have gotten another season, more than likely several. Television is so much better now than it was in 1999.

[littlefurballs]

Judd Apatow is THE MAN....Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Superbad....all good stuff

[racestracksgoil]

Of all the theme songs ever, I would want this one for my life.

[600keith]

have been watching every single episode in order on IFC...its a truly great show! i think , as i write this, there are only 2 episodes left. its one of the very best shows ever! kinda not surprised it was cancelled by nbc....a legendary show!

[psychedelity]

naawww jooohn <3<3

[StephenJTatum]

Best show evAr >.<

[TheMaddameButterfly]

james franco (:

[mrspepper01]

i love nick. 

[bironkaine]

chida serie lastima que solo duro una temporada

[DayofAnarchy]

Bill is the single greatest character in TV history.

[JapRoc14]

Man this show had a lot of cool people in it. All the good shows get canned before their time.

[Lavulo187]

they all look innocent...the cast. Linda Cardelini, James Franco, Seth Rogen, James Francis Daily---the programme that started their careers.lol...Linda Cardelini looks hot!!!

[FIDsmoggydrizzle]

1:00 effin HOTT!!!

[mrbrockpeters]

The 4 dislikes are prolly the retarded mouth breather NBC execs who canceled this show.

[ShadowSonic2]

@mrbrockpeters Wasn't this canceled by FOX?

[mrbrockpeters]

@ShadowSonic2 No, it was an NBC gem.

[ShadowSonic2]

@mrbrockpeters Oh, I guess I'm just used to FOX canceling shows after treating them crappily.

[niceforachange2013]

Jason always looks stoned.

[OxOxEdwardOxOx]

jason segal is adorable! in F&G and how i met your mother.

[squall600]

wtf?! james franco was in that show!!!!!!

[squall600]

@squall600 & seth rogan??!!!!!!!!

[100edwardrules]

thumbs up if you have the complete series

[mafoose222]

@100edwardrules best money i ever spent

[unionkitten14]

@100edwardrules you can only get the complete series haha

[angel629c]

@100edwardrules Too bad the complete series is only one season...this show rocked!

[TheKunoichiNeko]

@100edwardrules Awww I wish!

[mynameislee94]

LMFAO I loved this show when I was little! Too bad I had no idea Seth Rogan was in it :D

[blackymedia]

How come Jason Segel is the only one who doesn't have the blue background when they take the photo?

[TomCollinsgirl]

i loved this show, it was my first real dealing with brilliant but cancelled. Smart, funny, and relatable (even to a 90's teen) and James Franco was just so wow even then

[rameez92]

jason segal and james franco look like they r high

[Kavanaghness]

Haha. Seth rogen and James Franco look way different and Jason segel looks the exact same lol

[jonniskeit]

whats the name of the song in the ending when the credits come

[snoopy64116]

@jonniskeit I don't think that music has a name; it was created specifically for this show.

[ElvisLikesCash]

Linda Cardellini has the most beautiful smile in the world.

[liamastley]

@etdude It's one of the instrumental pieces by Michael Andrews, he did all the incidental music for the show. Don't know the name of the track off the top of my head but I'm sure it's on the F&G soundtrack

[wicaco]

I would have liked to see the hypothetical Season 2 version with Busy Philipps (Kim Kelly) added.

[maggso0]

YES. whoever decided to pull the plug on this show fucking blows. this show was awesome.

[etdude]

What is the name of the song that comes on right after the intro?

[dark07liberty]

@etdude sorry i wish i'd knew..

[tugamasterman]

@etdude Bad reputation but I dont know who sings it...

[zouzoumama]

@etdude Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - Bad Reputation

[dark07liberty]

@zouzoumama that's the intro song. i think what etdude meant was the one after that. or maybe i'm wrong

[zouzoumama]

@dark07liberty oops...yeah i guess u re right:P sorry for that!

[hujhax]

@dark07liberty That bit of Michael Andrews' incidental music is called "Lindsay's Theme", and it's available on the _Freaks and Geeks_ soundtrack.

[gordanz92]

@zouzoumama i saw them the start of this month.. they were sweet.. shes like 60 but still rocking

[liamastley]

@etdude It's one of the instrumental pieces by Michael Andrews, he did all the incidental music for the show. Don't know the name of the track off the top of my head but I'm sure it's on the F&G soundtrack

[phlegmilyb]

@etdude isnt it just the freaks and geeks like soundtrack

[mrbrockpeters]

@etdude That's just the show's 70's rock kind of score. It's actually pretty fresh and original.

[Sshelly34213]

@mrbrockpeters I think the show actually took place in the early 80s though, which is interesting.

[RobSaysNo]

@etdude i think it's just a score man. probably impossible to find.

[hujhax]

@etdude That bit of Michael Andrews' incidental music is called "Lindsay's Theme", and it's available on the _Freaks and Geeks_ soundtrack.

[weirdisnewcool]

@etdude I think it might be original music.. so cant help you sorry :(

[elaine2010]

@etdude There is a soundtrack! They have all of those instrumental songs on it!

[aknonnerd]

@etdude Lindsays theme michael andrews

[TheBlackhawk58]
