11 Reasons "Freaks and Geeks" Should Return To Television
CultureBox

I still remember the very first time I watched an episode of "Freaks and Geeks." It was recommended to me by my aunt and uncle who lent me their DVD box set. I was immediately hooked after episode one. In fact, I think I binge-watched all the episodes one weekend. With its all-star cast and brilliant dialogue, the cult classic quickly warmed its way into my heart. The show had a true grittiness to it, depicting the lives of real teenagers with real problems, like surviving high school and trying to figure out who you wanted to be in life. It created a world where outcasts of all different walks of life could co-exist. Ultimately, it was able to move you deeply and make you burst out laughing all at the same time. All of this causes one to wonder why the show only lasted one season. Although each and every episode was a wonderful thing, 18 episodes was far too short a life for the spectacular series. Created by the genius Paul Feig and produced by none other than Judd Apatow, I fully believe that given a second chance, "Freaks and Geeks" could have a major comeback in today's world of instant television streaming and online series. Although I could go on forever about this show's much needed return, here are a solid 11 reasons why "Freaks and Geeks" was one of the most fantastic shows created, and why it should be resurrected.

1. Daniel Desario. No explanation needed.

2. It had one of the best show openings ever.

3. It taught us all about stoner culture.

4. It taught us that there is more to a person than their appearance.

5. Some of life's most important lessons were discussed.

6. It was home to some of the most epic comebacks in television history.

7. It had relatable characters, including the embarrassing best friend.

8. It proved that pot wasn't the only way to get high.

9. It created a world where the cool kids and the nerds could co-exist.

10. It shed light on the true struggles of teenage life.

11. It placed heavy emphasis on the importance of self-confidence.

Here's to hoping for a reboot season.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
