In this episode of The Watchers, we’re stepping away from the world of Liberty High and into the awkward halls of McKinley High School with Freaks and Geeks. Join Jodie and Andrea as we navigate the landscape of this cult classic. We delve into the show’s attempts to balance the earnest with the awkward, discuss the impact of creators Paul Feig and Judd Apatow (and the one million careers launched by this show), and try to figure out what to do about the Eli of it all. Oof.

Next week, we’re heading to Capeside for the first episode of the WB hit teen drama, Dawson’s Creek. See you Wednesday. (We know you don't wanna wait.)
