Before Judd Apatow became this decade’s proverbial thumb on the pulse of comedy, he was co-creator of the shameless, wonderful Freaks and Geeks, airing on NBC in 1999 and 2000. A limted DVD collection, the “Yearbook Edition,” was initially sold exclusively online… Now, Freaks and Geeks Yearbook Edition is enjoying a second printing, and is available all over the place.
This eight-DVD set includes:
:: Six ‘Complete Series’ DVDs with all 18 episodes, commentary and bonus features
:: Two bonus discs, with six hours of bonus material
:: A deluxe 80-page “yearbook” with exclusive photos and F&G memorabilia
See Freaks and Geeks Yearbook Edition on Amazon.com
If you don’t know — or forgot — what a pivotal point of entertainment this show was, consider the cast and crew:
Directors: Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard), Apatow (Funny People, Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin), Ken Kwapis (He’s Just Not That Into You, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants)
Regular cast: Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daley
Trivia Note: The part-time Freaks & Geeks cast included Trace Beaulieu and Joel Hodgson, veterans of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
