One of the greatest tragedies in TV programing was the cancellation of Freaks And Geeks by a man who had zero understanding of being a kid in public schools. Linda was perfect as Lindsey. My wife and I still watch it at least once a year.

Freaks and Geeks was the best show ever to be canceled after one season.

I remember catching a glimpse of it not knowing what the show was called. It looked lame so I passed on it. Years later I watched this show from the start because I saw Linda Cardellini in Boy Meets World. Somebody mentioned that she was on Freaks and Geeks and I did not know that show by name. It turned out to be the show I passed on. It became one of my favorites

No, it really wasn't. Get real. What the hell was 'ahead of its time' about that show? Rogen was bad. Franco wasn't much better. Not to mention the cliches/stereotypes.

Freaks and Geeks was on 20 years ago and only made 18 episodes and they still mourn its cancellation.

Fun fact: She nailed looking 16 at Freaks and Geeks while in real life she was 24. Edit: a few words.

The problem with Freaks and Geeks wasn't the show itself, which was amazing, but the network didn't promote it very well. Had they believed in this fantastic show they would have done something to save it. Sad story about one of the best shows to ever be cancelled after such a short time.

The show would've been a lot more successful nowadays if the show could be released on Peacock instead of NBC. I mean its a show about high school kids so the shelf life of the show probably was only 1-2 more seasons before Franco, Rogen and Segel's characters would've no longer been in high school.

I remember my boyfriend's mom telling me Freaks & Geeks was cancelled because she had seen that Letterman ep. She was like, hey that show you two like was cancelled, sorry. I was so bummed!

I first saw freaks and geeks when it was on syndication on some family channel in about 2001. I had such a huge crush on linda. i still think she's a babe.

Watching the show when it first aired was the best. I haven't seen anything like it as a kid. I would think about it during school all day.

Freaks and Geeks was so damn good. Whoever decided to cancel it should have lost their job. Linda Cardellini and everyone in F&G were so good. And since the first episode to this day I have a huge crush on her.

Letterman once had to host a show where he found out in the moment that it had been canceled. He had Tom Snyder on his old morning show and Snyder mentioned the show had been canceled when that wasn’t public knowledge yet. He must have understood what that was like.

God how heart breaking to find out like that! She is amazing in dead to me ❤

Absolutely an underrated Hollywood beauty.

ugh i just discovered freaks and geeks. as a 15 year old i so relate to it. and it’s cliche but like. i really wish i was there for it. i was disappointed after binging the first few episodes finding out it was cancelled early.

Dear god she’s perfect

Where is this Letterman interview? Can't find it on youtube.

dog i just finished this show and feel sad and unfulfilled by that cliffhanger ending and knowing the whole time and GAH!!!! i love this show! what the hell!!!

Linda is a goddess. What a surreal situation to deal with.

I have a huge crush on this woman.

She looks “her age” a little more on Dead to Me, but still looks fantastic.

I'm currently re watching freaks and geeks right now in 2023, it is a great show it had something to say that's very real. It says something about Life, Friendship, Love, and Family. It's that 70's Show meets The Wonder Years, in one.

I always kind of thought that it was that episode - showing one of their characters smoking dope - and it being funny - that killed the show. But ... I don't know. .

Bloodline could and should have run longer than Dynasty and Dallas together. Every episode of Bloodline someone should be murdered. lol

Tv networks are so stupid but hindsight is 2020 if that hadn’t been cancelled I don’t if the cast would be as famous as they are now with their other roles

what, no? i’m pretty sure the more likely reason was the inconsistent time-slots the show’s been given, which led to viewership remaining relatively low. It had a 7 million viewer average throughout its 15 episode run (3 were unaired), which is phenomenal in today’s standards, but really poor compared to 14 mil from Frasier and Friends
