Review of Pilot

Pretty much everything there is to love about "Freaks and Geeks" is right here in the pilot. The production design, the cast, the soundtrack, all working in harmony. But it's not the focus on 1980 that brings you back every week, it's the characters, all somehow relatable and well-drawn. And not many TV shows are this welcoming . . . or tremendously rewarding.

A textbook no-lose situation.
