Slice of Life # 21 / 3

     Lately I've been obsessed with the 90's show Freaks and Geeks. It stars James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segal, Martin Starr (Adventureland), and Linda Cardellini (Scooby-Doo.) The show's simply about the lives of normal teenagers as they venture through high school and discover themselves. Linda's character, Lindsay Weir, joins a group of "freaks" and goes from being known as a good girl to being a burnout, whereas her brother, Sam (played by John Francis Daley), couldn't be closer to being a geek. The characters in the show are extremely relatable, unlike many of the shows nowadays where they portray high school to be a magical place where nothing bad or awkward ever happens. Unfortunately, the show was canceled after just one fantastic season but it will always be one of my favorites.
