Freaks and Geeks

[csberry]

I was forced to take another look at Freaks and Geeks last week when I visited my brother in B'ham. I saw a few minutes of a couple of episodes when it was on the air, but it just didn't grab me. You know how it is sometimes...jokes are good, characters are likeable, but there's just something lacking that keeps you from sticking around or coming back from more.

Shortlegs bought the complete series on DVD and made me watch a couple of episodes (him plying me with a White Russian helped). I gotta hate him a little because he showed me two episodes from the end of the series, but he got me hooked. He's loaned me the DVDs and I tried infecting JD with the show last night. Not hooked yet, but I think she actually looked up from her smut novel several times to watch full scenes (she NEVER watches TV without a book in her hand to read at the same time).

Now I'm just eagerly awaiting the episodes guest starring the hilarious...



Joel Hodgson (previously of MST3K fame)!!!

My buddy Stan is a huge fan of that show. GREAT show, but sadly short lived. Didn't know that Joel made a guest appearance!
