One of the greatest one-season wonders of all time, there's not much excuse for ignoring Freaks and Geeks given only a solitary 18-episode run exists.

Looking back on the show, it reads as a foretelling of what was to come for Hollywood comedy: created by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters), executive produced by Judd Apatow (who wrote and directed a number of episodes), and starring the likes of Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segal, Linda Cardellini, and John Francis Daley (who has co-written Spider-Man: Homecoming).

Telling the story of the two titular groups as they navigate high-school, few shows have managed to be as authentic and as funny as Freaks and Geeks.
