IMDb Picks: '90s Shows That Need a Reboot Now6 of 20
"Freaks and Geeks" | Stream Now on YouTube
Plot: A high school mathlete starts hanging out with a group of burnouts while her younger brother navigates his freshman year.
'90s Rewind: Judd Apatow has a knack for pinpointing the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that we share but rarely discuss and drawing out the humor in them. That talent is on full display in this short-lived but fiercely loved series. It’s the opposite of the glammed up, hyper-sexualized version of high school that’s been so prevalent on TV in the past decade, instead tuning into the triumphs and struggles of the un-cool. Though the series marks the first notable roles for stars like Jason Segel and Seth Rogen, the producers set out to cast “real kids” — maybe a reboot could lead to the discovery of more comedic acting greats! — Hannah
