Freaks And Geeks: The Untold History of Television

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

A decent summary of the series, paying particular attention to the cast and crew, their lives and careers. If you are an avid fan of the series who has watched the DVD commentaries, there is not a lot of new information in this very short book (why is this a 36-page "book" and not an "article"?) It is a concise picture of the series, and puts many of the stories scattered throughout the DVDs into one accessible place. As an academic, the lack of sources for information or citations irked me (especially as I recognized many references from my own experience with the series). Vague references to the effect of the series, possibly influencing television that followed felt unsubstantiated. Did series like Gilmore Girls actually get inspiration from the show, or was TV maybe just heading in the comedy/drama direction, anyways? This insistence on stylistic legacy also paradoxically ignores many fore-runners of the series, which created and developed the teen-centred genre. There is sadly no reference to My So-Called Life, which offered similarly "different" main characters, and suffered a similar early cancellation in the mid-90s. Appropriately celebratory, this book tends to follow Paul Feig's own rhetoric of having created something never before seen on television.
