Freaks and Geeks
What high school was like for the rest of us.
Created by Paul Feig
On NBC, Fox Family
A sincere, character-driven coming-of-age comedy that treats high school social outsiders with genuine empathy and affection rather than mockery.
High school mathlete Lindsay Weir rebels and begins hanging out with a crowd of burnouts (the "freaks"), while her brother Sam Weir navigates a different part of the social universe with his nerdy friends (the "geeks").
