Freaks & Geeks (TV) - 4 stars

Freaks & Geeks is set in 1980 in high school reality, not the schmaltz you see on most sitcoms that are supposed to be high school. The main characters are kinda burnout/losers who are actually kinda cool and a bunch of nerds, like real high school students. The parents are pretty good too. It's well acted, with the best work coming from geek #3, Bill. He's definately a star in the making as the nerdiest kid ever. It's not mindblowing, but a really good watch. Not everything is realistic, but I'm still sucked into the characters
