This quote from Apatow echoes exactly what goes through my head when I see a F and G alum in some other show/movie:
"Whenever I see an opportunity to use any of the people from Freaks and Geeks, I do it. Itβs a way of refusing to accept that the show was canceled. In my head, I can look at Knocked Up as just an episode of Sethβs character getting a girl pregnant. All of the movies relate in my mind in that way, as the continuous adventures of those characters."
For once I'm being sincerely ignorant. I didn't see Freaks & Geeks when it first ran, and never got around to watching it on DVD. (This even though I was in high school during the time when the series was set, as I notice from skimming the Wikipedia article.)
I haven't seen "Breaking Bad" either. I'll watch both series just as soon as you all finish the entire run of my favorite show, "Commissario Montalbano."
F&G is a very good show. Stream it on Netflix, you won't be disappointed. I wasn't really able to get all that into Breaking Bad. Dissolving bodies in muriatic acid by the third episode was a bit too dark even for me, but I'll probably revisit it at some point.

The only possible complaint I can think of is during one episode they showed some Atari 2600 games that didn't exist in 1980/81.
I was surprised that the article didn't mention Shia Labeouf being in an episode.
