It's the 1980s and at McKinley High, there's two different groups of teenagers, the Freaks with cool and charismatic Daniel Desario and tomboy Lindsay Weir and the Geeks with Lindsay's shy younger brother Sam, gentle Bill Haverchuck, and self-proclaimed ladies' man Neal Schweiber. The show chronicles the normal teen/adolescence problems any teenager goes through including acceptance, drugs, drinking, and bullying.Written by

Much like their characters,John Francis Daley and Samm Levine have the same sense of humor. Samm says a lot of Neal's lines in the geeks scenes in a way he knew would make John laugh,even intentionally making him laugh when he wasn't supposed to. Two examples of this are in the episodes "Chokin' and Tokin'" and "Noshing and Moshing". In "Chokin' and Tokin'" when Bill realizes his sandwich has peanuts in it, and is about to have an allergic reaction, Neal asks if he wants him to get Ms. Foote so they can discuss it. Samm said the line in a snarky way that made John laugh with his mouth full so hard he almost choked. You can see the result In the next shot when it's revealed Alan out the peanuts in,John looks a bit out of breath. In "Noshing and Moshing",when Neal says Bill's dancing looks like he's having a seizure,a line that wasn't supposed to make Sam laugh there's a quick reaction shot after of John suppressing laughter ( he lets some out).

Goofs
The bottles and cans of Stroh's being drunk in the series are the present day (1999) model and not the correct 1980 style. See more »
Alternate Versions
For the DVD release, some music differs from the masters, revealing the creators' true intentions for what music they wanted to use in the show:
In the first episode, when we first meet the freaks, the music is the aired version's "Runnin' With the Devil".
In the episode "Noshing and Moshing", the song that plays during the final montage is also the aired version's "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You".
This show was without a doubt the BEST new show on Television. It actually gave a new meaning to television and introduced wonderful and funny characters. The cast is perfect and the writing and acting is so great, there was nothing wrong with the show, in fact it was about 10 times better than some stupid sitcoms still on TV (some not all). Bill Haverchuck, played by Martin Starr is probably my favorite character because he was a interesting and funny character. The only problem was that NBC didn't give Freaks and Geeks a decent time slot. It was so unfair.
Get the DVDs, you'll LOVE them!
