TV Donut Episode 3.09 - Freaks and Geeks

Published: March 16, 2017, 10:02 p.m.

Episode 9 - “Mr. Rosso Is The Best Everything” - The Donut Crew jumps back to 1980 Michigan for one of the finest teen dramas ever. Made ahead of its time, and then unmade before its time, this is perhaps the most heart a Judd Apatow project has ever had. It's a piece of television history, with a timeless respect for coming of age that will outlast references that were 20 years old when the show came out. We delve into topics such as high school politics, friendship, growing teen bodies, Jason Segel's gigantism, on-set feuds, disco (*does* it suck?) and the quiet beauty of guidance counsellor Jeff Rosso.
