In case you hadn’t heard, Freaks And Geeks was released on DVD last week. This is yet another of my favorite shows that was not given the credit it deserved, although in this case it was NBC that gave it the axe after only one season. However, the creators of the show did an awesome job in this DVD release, which consists of 6 discs containing:
- All 18 episodes on 6 DVDs including the director’s cut of the pilot with never-before-seen footage.
- Deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, and outtakes
- 29 audio commentaries by the actors, writers, directors, network executives, parents of cast members, and obsessive fans
- 28-page booklet with an essay by “Freaks and Geeks” creator Paul Feig and a Q&A with producer/writer Judd Apatow
For those of you even more obsessed in love with the show, you can go for the special limited edition DVD set, which adds two more discs of extras packaged in a very cool bound “yearbook” chock full of pictures, quotes, and other fun stuff. I’ll admit that it is pretty expensive, but I couldn’t pass it up…
