Freaks and Geeks is a 1999 television series written by Judd Apatow. The show follows Lindsey Weir (Linda Cardellini), a junior at William McKinley High School in Chippewa, Michigan who is trying to find her identity. Lindsey, a former “mathlete” and straight A student, starts hanging out with some new friends dubbed the “freaks,” a group of stoners who don’t take school seriously and routinely get themselves into trouble. The show also follows Lindsey’s brother Sam (John Francis Daley) and his friends who are considered the “geeks.” Through the course of the show, we see Lindsey being pulled in different directions by the people in her life and Sam tries to navigate the new world that is high school. At the end of the series we see Lindsey getting on a bus to go to a prestigious Michigan summer school program, only to hop off the bus a few stops later to join Kim Kelly (Busy Philipps) and her new “Dead Head” friends on a road trip to follow the band on their summer tour.
