Finally!, The Scripts we've been waiting for., November 19, 2004
This review is from: Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Scripts, Volume 1 (Newmarket Shooting Script) (Paperback)
First the show was cancelled. Depression. Then the DVD's were released. Elation! Now the scripts are finally published. Exaltation!!! A great television show first starts with a great script, and Freaks and Geeks was (is) a GREAT televison show and it all started with the great scripts contained in this collection. Starting off with Paul Feig's perfect script for the "pilot" episode, this collection shows why Freaks and Geeks has become the golden example of just how good a cancelled television show can be. The scripts contained in this collection, all display the sense of humor, agnst, emotional ups and down , truthfulness and most importantly, heart, that carried through every episode of the finshed, televised program.
These scripts are a must read for fans as well as any budding scriptwriter. Hell, these scripts should be mandatory reading
for all aspiring writers as well as any writer currently working in television, (unless you currently write for the Simpsons or Arrested Development..)
