The latest in my TV-on-DVD crusade is Freaks and Geeks.

Freaks and Geeks, as some of you may know, was a short-lived comedy-drama on NBC back in 1999 about high schoolers in suburban Detroit. It won a couple Emmys but, as most great television shows are, was cancelled after one season. Seriously, America? Dumb. Even back then, you were dumb.

I'm six episodes in and I love it. It makes me laugh, cringe, cry, and most of all, it curls my heart for little Sam Weir (played by John Francis Daley who is now on BONES!!! And of course I love him there too) because he's so adorably awkward and innocent.

And now he's totally cute:

The thing about watching television shows whose protagonists are in high school, though, is that sometimes it makes me realize 1. how old I am and 2. how impossible teenagers are. Impossible!!!

I think I'd rather have geeky kids. They're nice and malleable.
