Not Another Rewatch

S1E11-12 "Looks and Books" & "The Garage Door"

We're in our feelings this week... headphone users, beware!  In "Looks and Books", Lindsay stops hanging out with her "freak" friends after a car accident, and decides to rejoin the mathletes and angel from above, Millie. Meanwhile, Sam adopts a new modern hair style and wardrobe in the hopes of impressing Cindy. In "The Garage Door", Neal learns his father is cheating on his mother and Ken develops a crush on the tuba player in the school's marching band. We plug things we love at the moment, find out Kim's on the right side of history and give Cindy 24 hours to respond and address her crimes.

Freaks and Geeks (1999) S1E9-10 "We've Got Spirit" & "The Diary"

We're halfway through our first series rewatch!  In "We've Got Spirit", Sam tries out to be the school mascot hoping to impress Cindy. Meanwhile, Lindsay tries to figure out the best way to break up with Nick. In "The Diary", Lindsay's parents are convinced Kim is leading their daughter down a path toward drugs and sex, so they consider taking a peek in her diary. Meanwhile, Bill is tired of the same jocks picking the teams during P.E., often leaving him picked last, so he makes prank calls to Coach Fredricks then confronts him directly.  We try to take on the world of sports and the rules of baseball, discuss alternate plot lines for the hypothetical gritty reboot that will eventually be made, eat hot chip, be bisexual, lie AND Nicole's fashion takes are back!

Freaks and Geeks (1999) S1E7-8 "Carded and Discarded" & "Girlfriends and Boyfriends"

After a well deserved break, we're back bitches!!! A little bit of a longer episode to compensate for the content drought... In "Carded and Discarded", the geeks befriend Maureen, a very pretty and friendly new transfer student at McKinley. When the popular crowd shows interest in her, the geeks woo her with big rockets and all-you-can eat ribs in an attempt to not lose her. Meanwhile, Lindsay and the freaks try to buy fake IDs to see the band Feedback perform at a local bar. However, after they go through a ton of trouble getting their IDs, the group is stunned to find out who the hot local band's lead singer is. In "Girlfriends and Boyfriends", Nick begins making more aggressive advances towards Lindsay, most of which end up making her feel more disturbed than love struck. Tension is created between Sam and Bill when Bill is paired with Sam's crush, Cindy, as a science partner. Although, Sam is able to spend more time with Cindy by joining her in the yearbook club. In an upset, Amara (the resident freak of the pod) finally disagrees with Lindsay's poor decision making, Millie's spirit comes back to bite us, and Cindy is dubbed the gassy queen of McKinley High.

Freaks and Geeks (1999) S1E5-6 "Tests and Breasts" & "I'm with the Band"

It's Sam Nation vs. Lindsay Nation this week. Who will come out on top? In "Tests and Breasts", Mr. Kowchevski threatens to force Daniel to repeat algebra for another year if he doesn't pass an upcoming test, so Lindsay offers to help him study for it. Daniel would much rather just cheat by getting the answers from her. Sam begins sex education class with Coach Fredericks but continues to be mystified by the punch line of a joke told by two athletes. Daniel tries to help Sam understand by giving him a pornographic film, but this only deepens his confusion.  In "I'm with the Band", Nick realizes if he doesn't make a career out of being a drummer, his father is going to make him join the Army. Lindsay attempts to remedy this by pressuring the band to practice more. When that doesn't seem to work, she then gets Nick an audition for a popular band named Dimension. Meanwhile, when the physical education department at McKinley mandates that all students must shower after class, Sam tries to avoid the shower at all costs, afraid to be naked in front of his peers. Is Bill a bisexual icon? Will Daniel Desario ever become a decent human being? And will Andrew ever get his stolen send off catch phrase to stick? You'll have to listen to find out!

Freaks and Geeks (1999) S1E3-4 "Tricks and Treats" & "Kim Kelly Is My Friend"

It's a double feature! In "Tricks and Treats", Halloween approaches and Sam persuades his friends to go trick-or-treating with him and things only become worse when Alan picks a fight with the geeks. Lindsay agrees to stay home and hand out candy with her mom on Halloween night. However, when she gets an invite to go cruise around town with Nick, Daniel, Ken and Kim, she ditches her mom to hang out with them. Lindsay enjoys her first taste of vandalism with the freak gang until she accidentally takes things too far.  In "Kim Kelly Is My Friend", Kim’s friend, Karen (Rashida Jones), bullies Sam which sparks a heated debate between him and Neal over who is geekier. Meanwhile, Kim invites Lindsay to dinner, explaining that she needs to introduce a nice friend to her parents, so they will stop hassling her to sell her AMC Gremlin, to which she inherited from her now-deceased aunt. Things progressively get out of control and we strap in for a long night as we unravel the layers of the feared and somewhat despised character of Kim Kelly. There's lots to discuss like our past Halloween costumes, Duende Tok and wondering if we'll ever get sponsored by PETA or Tesla. Strap in for a wild ride!
