Leggero describes a working scenario on set that not many actors get a chance to experience. "I had never worked with someone like Mitch before, and he's pretty amazingly brilliant," she says. "He would just have ideas in his head, and he would say, 'Well maybe you could say something like this,' then he would give 10 hilarious examples.

Freaks and Geeks Ep 1.01 ‘Pilot’ Welcome to McKinley High

24 April 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Freaks and Geeks Episode 1 ‘Pilot’

Directed by Jake Kasdan

Written by Paul Feig

Aired 9/25/1999

If there’s such thing as a perfect pilot, Freaks and Geeks‘s first hour is it. Most pilots are mish-mashed groups of scenes with some overly constructed jokes, an audience-grabbing plot hook, and numerous scenes where characters explain who other characters are. ‘Pilot’ is the exact opposite of that, a beautiful, detailed photograph into a high school in suburban Detroit on the first day back from summer vacation. From that first scene, where an overwrought confession of love between a football player and cheerleader (“I just love you so much… it scares me”) is shoved off-frame to introduce us to the ‘freaks’, Freaks and Geeks established itself as a different kind of high school show, one that wasn’t afraid to be honest about shitty high school life when you’re not “one of the cool kids. »

Justin Long grew up watching and loving Woody Allen movies, so it’s no surprise that he absorbed the line from 1989′s Crimes and Misdemeanors, that “Comedy is tragedy, plus time.” When Long and Keir O’Donnell (Wedding Crashers) were simultaneously recovering from painful romantic breakups several years ago, they channeled their pain into the romantic-comedy script that became A Case of You, which premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival this Sunday.

Long stars as Sam, a shy New York writer who develops a crush on Birdie (Evan Rachel Wood), the quirky barista at his local coffee stop. When his »
