"And the best part is, you get to be somebody you can't be in real life." What an AMAZING line on so many levels. Beautiful.

This is what makes me the saddest that this show ended. I'd loved to have seen Franco join up with the geeks more.

It's such a beautiful scene - the tough outsider kid who hooks up with the geeky kids. I dunno - it just seems spectacular to me.

This show was gone way too soon. Best Show ever to have been cancelled.

"You guys wanna do this tomorrow night?" "Yeah." "Sure." "Yeah." *LAST ONLINE: 22 YEARS AGO*

Daniel thought of himself as a loser while the geeks thought of him as cool. While the nerds thought of themselves as losers while Daniel who was cool looked up to the for being smart and interesting. They each looked up to each other in some way.

While it is tragic that this show only last one season, I’m this was the conclusion to Daniels character. He is a guy isn’t expect to have the brightest future which is why he constantly gets into trouble. He’s seen as the cool guy who goes to party and gets girls yet he’s had the most fun playing dungeon and dragon with a group of nerds. He felt accepted for being himself.

The quote on Franco's tombstone "Fine I'll be a dwarf, but my name is Carlos."

God, this show is beautiful. I love that the kids they are showing act and feel so much like the ones I knew in high school. Much more dimensional than sitcom teens on cable.

My favourite part is that he didn't hesitate to play because he was embarrassed og them but because he thought he'd be bad.

this show had at least 2 or 3 more seasons to it, at least until Sam and his friends finished highschool

And Sam Weir grew up to write and direct Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023). True story!

this is the cutest most adorable show ever

I love James Franco's facial expressions when he declares to the princess that the dragon has been slain. It's like for the first time, he's actually proud of himself for being good at something. Love this show. Too bad I only came about it a decade later!

As a D&D geek, I must say this was pretty damn sweet. I'm gonna watch this show now.

just finished this series and man so pissed its only one season....the last episode was my fav

Stranger things took this lol , steve who understood the kids.

"Oh I'm sorry, perhaps I should let you encounter kittens and grandmas, so it's not to upset you." Harris is the man

Daniel: Are you a dwarf?? Neal: NO! Lmaoooooo

3:24 holy hell James Franco has a beautiful smile.

Ironically, there is NO geekier person than James Franco.

This is the episode that made me really want a second season. I was hoping Daniel would become a geek.

makes me feel warm inside

I love this scene. This scene is truly touching, and you'll never see a scenario played out like this in any other T.V. show.

i love all of these scenes, but it's always get sad because i remember it's from the last episode.

This is the most heartwarming scene i've ever seven..

Finally watched this show a few weeks back and fell in love with it. This scene really hit me hard, too, because the whole show, Dan's told what he can't be, and he suspects he can't be much of anything, and here, for a few hours a night, with these friends, he can be anybody. It's pretty light-hearted, but it's also an awesome ending for him.

This is a better introduction to what DnD is like, than most videos actually made to introduce the game.

To me this scene was the best part in the whole show. I always think about it when we show non-gamers games and then they become crackheads later for gaming.

theres a scene in the season where it shows how hard Daniel's life is actually, his mom is forcing him to do things and he says i gotta go to school but she disregards it. Its a short scene but if you pay attention to that you can see how much he loves the escape from real life while playing D & D.

I just finished watching this yesterday...such an amazing show, now in my top 5 of all time. I'm depressed that I'm done with it already...

I would have loved to see an episode where both groups of the Freaks and Geeks interact with each other like, they're stuck indoors due to a storm and they all bond over Dungeons and Dragons.

I love this scene so much-the unexpected bonding of different characters, the way the “Geeks” look up to Daniel even though he isn’t perfect and struggles w/self-esteem issues, the way Harris has no respect for Bill 😂, etc.

3:15 sums up this show's sweetness

This is straight up wholesome!

Just.... don't expect me to be good at ot or anything.

Love Daniel telling Bill he's just joking because he sensed him being intimidated

I HATE that it ended just when Daniel finally found his place.

At least everyone got a satisfying conclusion. Just marathoned this show and was afraid everyone would be left half-developed.

"Greetings, Princess. It is I- Carlos the dwarf." That's my favorite part. I love the way he says that. lol

Holy smokes what a great show. The right touch of humor and sweetness.

Just watched Stranger things season 4 and scene in 1st episode when Hellfire club plays D&D reminded me this scene so much, so great.

This is gonna happen in Stranger Things season 2 when Steve starts hanging out with Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Max.

I’ve seen so many James franco movies this is by far my favorite character he’s played

one of the best shows that i have ever seen shame on these people who cancelled it , while shows like the kartrashians is still going

aww his smile at the end when everyone cheered for him!! 🥺

Man I really wish that we got more scenes of Daniel hanging out with the geeks too bad the show ended.

so stupid to end this show

Just noticed that they’re all drinking Faygo… very Michigan, props to whoever was responsible for the set design

"I'm just joking." Geez, that smile. :O I loveee James.

I love how Daniel/Franco seems to be laughing inside as he gives his victory speech. Favorite subplot of the final episode!

I adore the idea of one of the cool kids sitting down and learning how to play D&D with the outsiders, it’s the fantasy of a geek to discover that the things they enjoy can be loved by all if given the chance. We’re not terribly different after all.

The actor who plays Gordon (and the character) is so adorable!

"Im just joking." My poor little heart.

I gotta admit, never would've thought of using dominos to make a map. Pretty clever.

the things i would do to find out there are 10 un-aired seasons of this show ):

No matter how old Freaks & Geeks gets! It’s in my top 10, aged like fine wine

If he was allowed to have more days like this he might not have ever turned evil and tried to kill spiderman.

Totally ahead of its time. If this came out now, we'd at least have 3 or 4 seasons...... :(

Did any one else notice that Neal can wiggle his ears?

I always thought Harris was one of the show's underrated characters. He's comfortable enough in his skin to invite Daniel to play DnD.

if I ever have a kid it would be nice if he acts like sam

My family and I watched this show together when it was brand new. We all loved it, particularly my dad who graduated in '78. One day, halfway through the series, my dad suddenly exclaims "wait... Sam is a BOY!?" He seriously thought JFD was a girl. I found that ridiculous at the time, but now, coming back 23 years later, I realize that yeah, JFD totally seems like a girl in this series. Reminds me of Millie Bobby Brown.

Credit to Harris in this scene. Harris understands that D&D is for anyone and everyone. Any person willing to play is welcome to join a campaign and he approaches Daniel with magnanimity. No judgment, just a person wanting to play a TTRPG. The result is Daniel had a fantastic time and now might be a part of a campaign beyond a one-shot.

Awesome! This is my favorite part of the whole series. Thanks for putting all these clips together.

Oooh....... Neil. [Community reference]

3:28 You can tell they're having fun because fun music is playing!

I actually find this episode to be one of my favorites because in high school D&D was considered to be the most geekiest thing something could play but the coolest guy here has decided to give it a try and enjoys himself. Also it seems like everyone loves this show. I loved it so much that i looked all over the internet for it to download and couldn't find it. I had to order it off ebay. Still waiting for it but will be worth it when i get it. Also found a cast photo all autographed (reproduction but who cares) Anyone who is interested you can find other freaks and geeks memorabilia on ebay.

modern art

I think that the perks of DnD shown here is that it really brings people together in the most fun ways

God James Franco was gorgeous!

No wonder everyone involved with this show became successful including writers and crew. It's bittersweet. I love and hate that it ended but there's no denying the beauty of this show.

Always cracks me the way he says "Ancient Babylonia" like if it was the epitome of the best DnD campaign ever possible.

great ending for Daniel: He found his place where he's accepted no matter what and can has some fun, in the other hand the geeks finally found a way to be cool (more cool) and learn about girls and other stuff. I liked the conclusion of nick dancing disco music, but I would prefer the "best drummer in the world" backstory, I mean, just think about this: he joins in the army and meet musicians just like him: they wanna be professionals, grow and guess what, they need a drummer!. The finale with Ken saying "disco sucks" it's kind of cool but, what happened to his girlfriend? besides, he is the only character than we don't know much about his life and family like kim or daniel; and the lindsay and kim ending, it's good but looks a little forced. Well, maybe someone will read all this and think "who cares what you think?", Doesn't matter, I just finished the show 2 days ago and felt an empty sensation, like this HAS to continue, and I just wanted to write my thoughts. (btw, sorry if I have some grammar mistakes, I speak spanish actually)

I can’t wait to see season two when I die and go to heaven.

Honestly...i think that's what makes this show so amazing. Because of the 1 season. Think about it. The best shows are at best in the beginning seasons. This show is in my personal"Hall of Fame". Greatness

such a satisfying moment in such a profoundly genius and real show.

Crime against humanity that this show was cancelled. So many relatable characters.

This is really heartwarming. Shows how D&D is really capable of including others

When I was 19 years old, I loved this programme, I always was high and supplied with cookies to install myself and to see "The New Wonder Years" for a bit. It's ridiculous they cancelled this.... It was a really good show!

This always felt like a, I dunno, it just, hum, fells special to me this scene, it always did, I am one of the geeks in school, and I have a older friend that it's kinda like Daniel, but, this fells diferent you see? usualy I am in the geeks place, but, this time, in this scene, after all that has happend, for some strange reason I feel like I'm in Daniels place, it just fells special.

This was one of the best shows EVER!!!! I MISS IT SOOOO MUCH😢

I wish little Sam Weir was my son! He is too adorable

Dazed and Confused, The Breakfast Club, Fast Times, The Goonies, Freaks and Geeks, and now The Trusty Butter Knife!

It is criminal this show ended as it was hitting its stride! I love this show!

Lol "Carlos The Dwarf"🤣🤣🤣

Really love this show and this is one of the best episodes of the series.

one of the best episodes and best moments

I knew a guy like Daniel in high school. He was a couple of grades ahead: best looking dude, popular with the girls, always about to drop out. But he was always nice to us younger geeky types, even when everyone of his group was around, would even chat about Star Wars and video games for a bit after school. Nicest older student I ever met. Sadly became a homeless drug dealer a few years after; my friend saw him and recognised him and he was apparently as nice then as he was in school. Think he died a few years back after getting his life back on track and getting a family which is sad though, guess his past caught up with him.

WE NEEDED MORE

but holy shit..... so much potential character growth in all the chars... the freak delving into the geeky side of life, the nerdy kinda traditional main char girl going a bit crazy, etc the greatest show ever

This show is special. It really sucks that it got cancelled..

I never realised Sam was that dude from Bones!

thanks for posting this! I love this plot line!!

this show will live in my memories forever.

its a crime that we didnt get to see these personalities evolve and what the others reaction was

The last minute of this is probably the most heartwarming yet nerdy thing I've ever seen! -333

literally could watch this forever

this is so sweet

favorite show, and favorite episode
