Freaks and Geeks is one those rare shows where it's such a shame that it never got a second season, but it's only as great as it is because it never did. Since the creators knew the show was gonna be canceled, halfway through the season they decided to write about whatever they wanted instead of conforming to the network expectations, which might not have been the case if they had a second season.
I still think Freaks and Geeks could have gained an audience for a second season if they directed it to be just a little more comedic. People who are reliving their tough times in high school from 1980 need to have something worth laughing at to help them get through it. April 26, 2022, 2:15pm
As much as I refuse to believe that there's anything truly wrong with "Freaks and Geeks", I will say that its only flaw was that it wasn't released 10-15 years later. In the late 1990's, there weren't many dramedy shows set in the 1980's which felt so natural and really "got" the way teenagers acted and thought. It would have a higher chance of lasting for more than one season today, in my opinion.
Most of the casts are up for a Freaks and Geeks movie about their High School reunion. Paul Feig rejected the idea. I would rather he do that than Ghostbusters 2016!!
Wow I honestly didn't even know it was only one season. I rarely hear as much about a show as I did this one with it only being one season like that. Definitely goes to show the cast from this were something special. (Just not special enough to get a 2nd season somehow.)
This show was amazing. I bought it on DVD as soon as it came out because I loved it so much. It aired when my mom was in late-night conference meetings and risked getting grounded to watch it. Totally worth it. Steps above 90210.
The fact that there is only 1 season of freaks and geeks fills me with more emotions than my mouth can vocalize. I wish there could have been more 😭😤😡😩😫
So glad this had such a low amount of sins. This show is one of the best and deserved so much more love. I only discovered it about 10 years ago after becoming a fan of the actors in their movies and then discovering that they were all in this together, which I immediately tracked down so I could watch it.
It’s crazy when you think about the guest stars that were on the show. You had Shia LaBeouf guest star as the original mascot who gets injured and is replaced by Sam, Ben Stiller guest star as the George Bush security guard that seeks counseling, etc.
Slemke 98 He’s this underrated actor. You might remember as Angel in X-Men The Last Stand, one of the brothers in Hell or High Water, and Lance Armstrong in this one Stephen Frears movie.
As much as I would LOVE more of this all-time-best show, I have to say, it ended perfectly. I still can't watch the series and not tear up at so much of it.

I really wish this show managed to get a second season! it was such a good show, maybe in this era of remakes they can try and remake it. They audience will be much more appreciative of it
2:09 he actually does call him Sam "Queer" in one of the first scenes of this episode, although it might not be this version. the version i watch is a dvd box set with abuncha deleted scenes n shit so normal watchthroughs might be missing that scene, but it's worth mentioning that this wasn't overlooked by the writers, they were trying to be relatively creative with they're bullying.
“You do know that there are occasionally counselors that care the exact right amount in the world that might be an actual help to students, if you weren’t too busy scaring them off from actually seeking it out, right TV?” I’m gonna be real with you Jeremy,, this IS it chief
I’m 6 episodes in and so far, it’s a AWESOME show! It’s in my top 3 favorite shows of all time. No wonder rotten tomatoes rated it 100% Too bad theres only 1 season😔
I never had a guidance councilor who cared the exact right amount. I wonder what that would be like. ps, you need to add one sin back for this show also leading to Ghostbusters 2016.
In my highschool picture day was called by last name which would explain why the siblings are next to each other and if you didnt put in effort to stay in line properly you could get delayed with people from a later letter popping ahead of you
Ooh, "discount Chris Elliott", THAT'S saying something. Btw, Dave (Gruber) Allen is a legend, you would do well to remember that. Also, you could argue Francis Daley is more successful now than he ever was back then. Obviously not so much acting but writing definitely.
My old boss looked exactly like the bully dude.. I asked him one day if he had seen the show, he had and I made the comparison. The backroom went quiet and I was sent out .
Yes! Obviously the series and not the movie. As for being a short video...like many series, I think the pilot started kind of slowly, so I’m sure Jeremy will sin it to death. Nothing can change that it is an AMAZING series, though!!!
The picture day and high school yearbook opening credits are just a clever way to give it a high school look, it wasn't supposed to be their actual picture day and yearbook. Sam gets called 'Sam Queer' later. Mr. Rosso can make Lindsay work the punch bowl at the dance as punishment for ditching, he can't make her join the Mathletes. It'd be a too long and disproportional punishment.
Is he really better than that? JK! In his (possible) defense, is Jeremy responsible for the captioning? One sin to the captioner, whomever that may be!
They should reboot Freaks and Geeks with a new cast set in 1984 ( after the original cast has already graduated). It could be a series like American Horror Story where each season is a new cast/ story line. Of coarse it would have to be done by the original behind the scenes people that created the original. That is the only way you could reboot this show. Or even remake it set later and some of the original cast could be in it as older characters; imagine Neal or Bill as a teacher

WRONG. The whole season was written before cancellation.
idk where you get your info from but the whole thing was written before the cancellation
@@MrParkerman6 my bad blame it on IMDb's trivia section about Freaks and Geeks
Okay, I will.

I know that Michael Cera isnt in this but, I feel like he's in this...spiritually...
True, Sam or Nick would have become his eventual type, as the "shy, nerdy guy desperately pursing the seemingly unattainable girl" type of character.
lmao yes man i feel you
PIG S🐖LDIER
Michael Cera was still in middle school when this show came out
@@MrTheGadfly he would've been the perfect age to play one of the kids then

That and the fact that there was never season 2😂
The minute Sam started dating Cindy the show lost it's mojo and died. It was bad writing that killed the series.
@@ocularnervosa yeah but I liked the ending tho
But the cast was perfect and they would have been too old if it were released 10-15 years later
Totally disagree. It would have had a Better chance the more sooner it was released, teens today wouldn't give a shit about the show.
I seriously miss this show. It needed a second season.
Most of the casts are up for a Freaks and Geeks movie about their High School reunion. Paul Feig rejected the idea. I would rather he do that than Ghostbusters 2016!!
Who knows, maybe they'll manage to gather the cast together for a reunion or skit about what their characters are up to in the 2010's someday.
wrong, it needed at least 3 more seasons.
Wow I honestly didn't even know it was only one season. I rarely hear as much about a show as I did this one with it only being one season like that.
Definitely goes to show the cast from this were something special. (Just not special enough to get a 2nd season somehow.)
I agree. A second season would be great! Maybe even a third one too!
24 years old Linda Cardellini isn't my girlfriend in this show.
God she was so gorgeous.
This show is criminally underrated
This show was amazing. I bought it on DVD as soon as it came out because I loved it so much. It aired when my mom was in late-night conference meetings and risked getting grounded to watch it. Totally worth it. Steps above 90210.
My HS yearbook was done alphabetically and not by grade. Yes it was dumb.
Why not both?
That's not dumb, that's way better, going by class is dumb.
The fact that there is only 1 season of freaks and geeks fills me with more emotions than my mouth can vocalize. I wish there could have been more 😭😤😡😩😫
It hurts my physically. Ow. I want more so bad. I risked getting grounded for watching this show at the time that it aired, man. It was so good.
You should do "Once Upon A Time"
So glad this had such a low amount of sins. This show is one of the best and deserved so much more love.

Surprised no Scooby Doo references at the end ngl

Same
I love this show beyond words. My friend and I watched it together and it will forever have a special place in my heart
I can not believe I just found out Ben Foster is Eli. I had no clue.
Neither did I, until Jeremy named him!
Who?
Same here. The cast of this show was crazy loaded with future talent.
It’s crazy when you think about the guest stars that were on the show. You had Shia LaBeouf guest star as the original mascot who gets injured and is replaced by Sam, Ben Stiller guest star as the George Bush security guard that seeks counseling, etc.

*Did that*, you are talking about a movie that was already done, so you should have used the past tense "did" instead of "do" . Learn grammar!!!!!
That would be f---ing awesome.
After you explained that he had ten cowbells, all I could think was "needs more cowbell"
Funny thing is this has to predate "more cowbell" on SNL, right? Only makes it better.
Really reaching to find something wrong with this amazing show
**There’s no SIN for being able to see Jason Segal rubbing his eyes, to make them red, left off screen during opening picture day montage?**
Can you do the BBC Sherlock?
this show is flawless
I hate how they never did a second season. Was a funny ass show!
OMG the Sam part with Bill Murray's line couldn't have lined up more perfectly
Jason Segal is the best disco dancer I've seen in tv and movies
Do How I Met Your Mother !!
XiaoBoy Ikr he needs to!!
I really wish this show managed to get a second season! it was such a good show, maybe in this era of remakes they can try and remake it. They audience will be much more appreciative of it
I doubt it. What are the chances they could put this kind of talent together right when they are all basically unknowns.
Yeah only if it is done right @**
yeah you have a point there too @@michaelb1761
Even after the Emmy wins it still didn't get a season 2. That fact still haunts me to this day and breaks my heart!
That outtake of a Christmas story was perfect, well done.
Between this and Firefly, I can't believe the amount of great tv that never got picked up for a second season.
Being Critically Acclaim isn't enough. Ratings are all that matter.
@@itsrectimemedia Clearly
I miss this show so much!
Please do Gotham next
Which reminds me: CINEMA SINS HASNT DONE “THIS IS THE END” yet. I love that movie and would love to watch someone hate on it.
Do Everything Wrong with Warehouse 13, Pilot!
Probably the biggest one was that it didn't get interesting till Claudia showed up.
everything wrong with the friends pilot, pretty please
Spoiler: They become friends for 10 seasons
@@MarloSoBalJr good reply but i can't help myself and say that rachel and ross fell out for several episodes in season 3 after they break up :P
I dont think they are doing sitcoms for obvious reasons

Not PC now but people do a lot of non-PC stuff in real life, ya know.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 exactly that was one of the great things about this show it didn’t sugarcoat how awful the teenage experience is
They should do a new season with them as adults now
The amount of copyrighted music they had on the show was the reason they only had 3 sets, a couple of parking lots, and no season 2 lol
That last comment about not making a season two hit a little too close to home.
“You do know that there are occasionally counselors that care the exact right amount in the world that might be an actual help to students, if you weren’t too busy scaring them off from actually seeking it out, right TV?”

Damn he actually murders all writers in this and others
you should do one for the Atypical pilot, really good show
I never had a guidance councilor who cared the exact right amount. I wonder what that would be like.

This show was ace - definitely due for a rewatch
Jason actually dated Linda so he did have something to show her
It shows in his "I wanna fuck you" look he gives her all through the show.
Feels very Wonder Years. Great show though. So much talent. Sad there wasn't a second season :/
Ooh, "discount Chris Elliott", THAT'S saying something. Btw, Dave (Gruber) Allen is a legend, you would do well to remember that.
Also, you could argue Francis Daley is more successful now than he ever was back then. Obviously not so much acting but writing definitely.
One of my favorite comedy shows.
Please do Galaxy quest. You make a reference to it like every episode, and I always remember how awesome that movie is. Please!!
Man i miss this show
One of the greatest shows ever. Any scene with Mr. Rosso alone is worth the price of admission. Awesome show! Who has the yearbook edition DVD set?
My old boss looked exactly like the bully dude.. I asked him one day if he had seen the show, he had and I made the comparison. The backroom went quiet and I was sent out .
Damn this show NOW, with all the nostalgia crap from the 80s, would be even bigger than stranger things
1:20 So you watched How I Met Your Mother now we need “Everything wrong with *insert how i met your mother episode*”
I was in high school in 1999, we had like 5 computers in the school. And it was a very large school too. My freshman class was 1300 students.
Come on ladies**ding lol
Please do Avatar The Last Airbender
Its gonna be a VERY Short Video!!!
Yes! Obviously the series and not the movie.
As for being a short video...like many series, I think the pilot started kind of slowly, so I’m sure Jeremy will sin it to death. Nothing can change that it is an AMAZING series, though!!!
There's only gonna be like 3 sins
Best show
In Buffalo, we also have a McKinley high school. It's right across the street from where he was shot to death.
I recently binge watched this for the first time - I loved it!
Man I love this show
That John Francis Daley shade. It hurt my soul. Lol fantastic behind the camera so there’s that.
Oh my god, my mom told me about Adam in order to keep me from wandering away from her, too! Traumatized the shit out of me!!!
I kept watching it waiting to figure out what it was about. Then it was over. And I still didn't know.
The picture day and high school yearbook opening credits are just a clever way to give it a high school look, it wasn't supposed to be their actual picture day and yearbook.

1980s gym teachers were actually like that... So we're 1990s gym teachers, it used to be a lot more fun
It did always bother me they weren't in alphabetical order in the yearbook. Still my favorite show!
Since you've done sitcoms like the office, can you sin It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia??
The lip syncing segment at the end was the best so far
i love freaks and geeks, i need to rewatch it :D
“I point out random details about a show and insult Lima beans”
This is really cool. This is 1 of my Favorite shows!
Do "everything wrong with Charmed" (the one made in the 90s) or Once Upon A Time
I never noticed that was Ben Foster.
This video literally showed that everything is not wrong in the show. He didnt even put a reliable argument to show what is wrong.
Would enjoy it if y’all did Smallville. I grew up watching it and it’s still one of my favorites to this day
Hey tv sins, I really appreciate the content you all make on the channel. Also, I was wondering if you do the pilot episode of Elfen Lied.
I had one of those "Doesn't care at all" counselors. I wasn't looking to go to some name-brand college, so he wanted nothing to do with me.
Whats funny is there is a Mckinley academy in flint michigan it closed about ten years ago
I freaking love this!
And this kids is how I met your mother lmaoooo
I love Ben Foster.
I also love the idea of 'Everything Wrong with Commando' on the other channel...
Commando? I don't know that I'm up for a 90 minute Everything Wrong With... video.
Yet again, not a single airplane driver appears in the video.
