Are you a fan of Freaks & Geeks? ComicBook reports a new documentary about the NBC TV show will debut on A&E later this month.
From Judd Apatow and Paul Feig, the comedy-drama follows a group of misfit teenagers at a Michigan high school. The cast includes Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daley, James Franco, Samm Levine, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, Becky Ann Baker, Joe Flaherty, and Busy Phillips. The show ran on NBC for only one season before being cancelled in 2000.
On Twitter, Freaks & Geeks star Samm Levine announced a documentary about the TV show will premiere on A&Eon July 16th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
And what about a revival or reunion? Creator Paul Feig told The Hollywood Reporter the odds are pretty unlikely:
I loved the show — the 18 episodes that we did. And I always get nervous about reunions and that kind of thing. Also, our cast is so famous now. I don’t think we can afford them!”

What do you think? Have you seen Freaks & Geeks? Will you watch the A&E doc?
Freaks and Geeks was an awesome show given a bad time slot. It was on Mondays at 8. I think the show would have done extremely well had NBC put it on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday. Look at the cast!! So many unheard actors from this show made it big time. James Franco, Jason Segal, Seth Rogan. NBC blew it.
I love this show. I wish we could have gotten a few seasons out of it. I would love a reunion show.
