For many people Freaks and Geeks is the most realistic television depiction of those not-fitting-in teen angst years, which is why it remains beloved to this day (and why Seth Rogen will maybe pick a fight with an NBC exec over it). A show that clicks with people on such a personal level is bound to be filled with knowledge and wisdom to pass on to others, and it was!
