Can You Guess This TV Theme? #31 - Answer

From the brilliant minds of Judd Apatow and Paul Feig came the best high school drama to be canceled too early since 'My So Called Life'. 'Freaks and Geeks' was a phenomenal show on NBC that aired for only one season.

Lindsay Weir and Sam Weir, played by Linda Cardellini and John Francis Daley, are the two focus points of the series. Lindsay Weir is a straight A student trying to ditch her good girl persona and trying to find where she fits in, attempts to fit in with the 'Freaks', played by James Franco, Jason Segel, Seth Rogen and Busy Philipps, all the while straining her relationship with her childhood friend played by Sarah Hagan....

Keep in mind, James Franco was great as 'Freak' Daniel Desario, but he's still not quite as dreamy as Jordan Catalano from 'My So Called Life'....


Sam Weir is a 'Geek', trying to survive high school with his fellow 'Geeks' played by Sam Levine and Martin Starr....

Did you know that before his roles in 'Even Stevens' and 'Transformers', Shia LeBoeuf made a guest appearance on the 'Freaks and Geeks' as and injured mascot?

Oh, and the kid that Lindsay babysits, while she's high, is none other than Alexander Gould (who currently can be seen as Shane Botwin on 'Weeds')....

Freaks and Geeks - Episodes 7-12

Oh, 'Out Of This World'.... How I miss you.... I wanted nothing more as a child than to put my index fingers together and stop time.

The show was about the life of young Evie Garland, played by Maureen Flannigan.... But she was no ordinary girl.... She was born to Donna Garland, played by Donna Pescow (who later starred as Shia LeBeouf's mother in Even Stevens), and Troy Garland.....

On her thirteenth birthday, Evie finds out that her father is an alien living on the planet Anterias. Her father is rarely seen, but he is able to communicate with his Evie through a crystal cube. As an added benefit from being half alien, Evie learns she can pause and un-pause time in the first episode, and later in the series Evie learns she can "gleep" objects into existence, transport herself from one place to another, and withstand up to 2,000 degree heat....

Did you know that Burt Reynolds provided the voice for Evie's father?

Ok.... Now I'm out.... I just watched an episode of the show, the first episode of the show I've seen since I was 12 years old, and it does not translate well in 2010.... I need a palate cleanser.... Time for some 'Trapped In The Closet'!
