Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks, Minx) joins us this week and shares what it was like going from regurgitating stand up performances at bat mitzvahs to catching the eye of Judd Apatow and lucking into a role in the cult Freaks and Geeks. Samm talks about his time shooting the show and the panic that ensued as a young actor who just had his show canceled. We also talk about working alongside Quentin Tarantino in Inglourious Basterds, his entry into the industry via Lisa Kudrow, and how his impression of William Shatner landed him an iconic role.

"Freaks and Geeks" was well before its time. Nostalgia for the 80's only started occurring in the late 2000's/early 2010's, and would definitely last for several seasons if it were released nowadays.

Wedding Singer…I love the 80s. It was already happening in the late 90s early 2000s. I think. Technology was moving very fast, and culture was evolving, so the 80s looked very very different by the year 2000.

The quality of a show isn’t ratings, it’s longevity. The fact people still miss this show 20 years later says it all

Gotta love the ego of some exec(s) preventing more of this genius show from being made!

Netflix would have snatched Freaks and Geeks up in minute if it had existed back then.

Sort of a finishing school for many 2000s stars.

NBC did this show dirty. An 8pm time slot on Saturday when digital recording wasnt a thing waa a death wish for this show. Wish we got a season 2

I loved this show, sucks that it only got one season. Also crazy to look back on the cast and see how many have gone on to become stars.

I watched the show, finally, after years of having heard about it. I quite liked it. It is a shame they cancelled it. Also, a reboot would be awful, just saying.

@calisongbird Жыл бұрын

I would love to see a reboot, as long as they have mostly the same cast. There are so many interesting story lines they could do with the older characters. We could see what kind of careers and families they had, maybe have their kids attend McKinley, etc. I’d love to see how Lindsey would handle being a mom of a teenager.

Freaks and geeks definitely didn’t get its due! If they would’ve gave it 1 more season it would’ve taken off I’m sure of it

@raymondsmith9886 9 ай бұрын

If they gave it a good time slot and a consistent run it would had a shot

i hung at aicn at the time we all were pissed at some bad reviews and the fact that fox did so little to build an audience for the show they did the same thing to wonderfalls
