Classic June 21, 2007
I loved every minute of Freaks and Geeks, Judd Apatow and Paul Feig did an amazing job! Once I got to know the characters this series became something entirely new to me. Freaks and Geeks will forever live on through its followers. Thanks Paul:)

I'll keep it short. One of the best TV series ever!!! I have 2 beefs with the DVD set: 1. One cannot hear about 25% of what's being said in the audio commentaries 2. I am offended by the profanity used during the audio commentaries. (not just heck's and darn's but F-bombs and scatological references)
Great series, great set July 11, 2004

I can't believe they actually got this made with all of the original music! This was a great series that accurately portrayed the trials and tribulations of being an outcast during the high school years. Well written, and with a great cast, if you haven't seen this yet you owe it to yourself to check it out.On a different note, I have to commend whoever designed the packaging for this set: many times when you buy a DVD set with 4 or more discs, the packaging folds out for you to access the discs. With 4 discs it can be awkward, but with, say, 7 discs, it's quite cumbersome. This set is different -- each disk is on its own "page" so to speak, so that getting the disc you want to watch is as simple as opening a book and turning to the right spot. It's also a lot more durable than the "fold out" style packaging.

I saw this show when it first ran on NBC and loved it. Due to NBC's constantly rescheduling the show, I missed a few episodes but I'm glad that it has all been captured on DVD. This is not your typical high school show because it is brutally honest about high school and family life and those relationships we have growing up. I like that the parents aren't typecast to be the usual dimwitted parents you usually see on TV (okay, Mr. Weir is cartoonish the first few episdoes--and pretty funny--but you do see a human side to him as the show goes on). With Mr. Schweiber, you see parents are human and have thier faults too. I'm glad the music was kept intact on these DVDs and the soundtrack alone is worth the buy. Music works great in depicting certain moods or events in the show. It kind of reminds me of a Cameron Crowe movie. This show could've taken the easy road with some episodes but the fact that it's creative in giving you the unexpected is what made it one of best shows on TV at the time. For example, in "Beers & Weirs," when the kids decide to throw a party when the parents are away, the episode isn't about them getting caught but instead it takes a much better twist. In short, don't hesitate--buy this DVD!
Thank you, Vicki! June 30, 2004

This is as superb a show as has graced primetime American TV.The DVD set is excellent, with an enormous amount of features, though letterboxing would have been nice. One complaint: the theme song and occasional music is EXTREMELY LOUD versus the dialogue. The show will
end all poignant and 2 secs later, the music will RIP into action. It's needlessly loud.
