i go to high school in michigan in the 1980s and hat it . but i think this show have so many touch and funny moment that i could relate to that it really a shame it only last one season . this be the high school i remember not populate by beautiful people with so call problem . nbc give show with initially low rating like seinfeld and friends a chance and why couldn not they have give freak and geeks a chance before cancel it . it a real loss . i love the geek because i identify with them the most . they especially sam actually look like the kid theyre suppose to be and and i think some of the most touching moment be when they be try to straddle that line between childhood and adulthood . like when sam throw away his toy truck but still decide to go trick or treat on halloween . the moment in the pilot when sam lead cindy on the dance floor and then the music change from slow to fast be initially funny and but the pained look on sam face like he about to cry before he awkwardly start to dance and cheer up brought tear to my eye . ( there a priceless delete scene on the dvd call our creepiest moment where sam and cindy slow dance while sing the slow part of come sail away . ) . the episode when they watch a porn movie and be freak out until the gym teacher set sam straight be priceless . i love how when sam finally get the pretty cheerleader he would be chase it turn out she be bore and they have nothing in common . not the usual plot line you see on show about teenager . and the music be always appropriate because it be a period piece they could avoid network executive tell them to promote the late band like most teen show . geek deal with bully and be pick last to be on school team and and do not want to shower in public . real high school problem . so many other touch moment represent bill come home to an empty house and make himself a grilled cheese sandwich and have a great time watch tv and neil realize his father be have an affair and bill resentful that his mother have a boyfriend . that say and everything i like about the show mostly relate to the geek . i do not understand the freak or why lindsay want to hang out with them and especially at the begin when they just want her for party or cheat on test . the implication be that she would decide there be no reward for be a good person after witness her grandmother dying and but clearly she be not comfortable be a freak and at least not until later episode when the freak seem to develop some genuine affection for her . the suggestion be that they be high all the time and but apart from one episode ( when lindsay smoke marijuana ) they never seem to be smoke . lindsay parent forbid her from hang out with them after she crash their car but at the end of the episode she go back to them and nothing change . of the freak i like nick the best sweet but clueless and the episode when lindsay father take him under his wing be great him sing lady to lindsay and write lady l be hilarious . i think the last episode be go off in some strange direction which may have make more sense have the show continue represent lindsay follow the grateful dead instead of go to the academic summit and daniel join the audiovisual team and playing dungeon and dragon and nick discovering disco and and ken go out with a tuba player .
