More Freaks and Geeks

May 7, 2004

Now that I’ve seen Freaks and Geeks a bazillion times, I realized I not only liked the show… I really loved the show. So I pulled the most expensive double-dip ever and bought the 8-disc super yearbook edition of the show. It’s probably not the wisest financial decision of my life, but what the hell. The yearbook rules.

It’s an 80 page leatherbound piece, filled with pictures, articles and fake autographs from all the characters in the show. It’s also got two extra discs filled with more mish-mash than you can ever imagine. My favorite bonus gotta be the unfilmed “Bus” script, which involves the geeks getting stranded in the woods after getting abandoned by the bus driver. Haverchuck has a copy of Hulk #181 (first appearance of Wolverine!) that gets ripped in half. I cried. Here’s a detailed review of the whole set, and here’s some pictures of the yearbook. There’s a pretty good look at the fake autographs.

It’s pretty easily the crown jewel of my DVD collection (not saying much, honestly), but I’m just so proud of it that I feel like keeping pictures of it in my wallet and showing it to people.
