Before all of these things, Apatow, Franco, Rogen, Segel and many other talented types worked on "Freaks and Geeks," one of the greatest TV shows ever, though it only lasted a single hilarious, heartbreaking, almost perfect season. It was followed up with a solo season of the just as good, but very different college comedy "Undeclared," starring Jay Baruchel, of, these days, the likes of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." And...

"Freaks and Geeks" may have only lasted one season, but the comedic talent creators Paul Feig (now executive producer of the US version of "The Office") and Judd Apatow (who's been ruling recent comedy with "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up") has been going ever since.

Not only did "Freaks and Geeks" launch the careers of James Franco, Jason Segel and Seth Rogan, but it accurately and heartbreakingly reflects the joys and hardships of getting... MORE »
