Season 3 is FINALLY here and we are kicking it off with Freaks and Geeks!!
Freaks and Geeks first aired in the fall of 1999 and was canceled due to ratings. It was a big bold move of NBC to go up against teen show-friendly networks that had been dominating that space. Years after its cancellation, Freaks and Geeks found its way onto cable television in reruns and slowly became the cult classic we all love today. But I like to think of myself as an OG. In my sophomore year of high school, I discover this show while flipping through the channels. The sense of familiarity - Lindsay Weir trying to figure out where she fits, what group did she want to claim? I had encountered a similar experience when I left a private religious junior high for the neighborhood public school. Moving from knowing everyone in class since kindergarten, to knowing nearly no one. Amy Albertson joins me for this episode and we fangirl about the show, but we dig deeper than that too. Let's get Social: The Show: Pop Culture Makes Me Jealous The Host: Julia Washington The Guest: Amy Albertson5
