Talk:Freaks and Geeks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can someone give more information about the movie the article talks about? Is there even a movie planned? I haven't seen anything else about this anywhere.
Nothing in this article explains what the show is about. Well rather, what the show's title means. I've heard the expression. I don't know it means. That's why I searched it. Any input is appreciated.
- (Even though you won't read this:) That'll be worked on. But then, what's the doubt? There's a group of geeks. Nerds. There's a group of freaks. Burn-outs. The show centers on them. Not too strange. Anywho, I'll be working on making the actual content of the show clearer sometime soon.Zeppocity 20:26, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Characters
I'm removing the character list for now. It makes the article rather clumsy and just looks plain ugly, besides being itself somewhat long-winded. I'll either work the cast credits into the article or reintroduce the section in a better form later, but for now, it's out. Any comments on this?, go ahead. For reference:

[edit] Song list to separate page
The "complete list" of songs should probably go in a separate article (whose title begins with "List of"), sort of like List of guests on The Majority Report was split off from The Majority Report (for example). - dcljr (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with this; as of now, the list of songs is 3/4 of the article about the show. I don't personally think you need it at all but, if you do, it should be its own page, with a short sentence on the main page about how important the music was to the show (as evident by the creators' insistence of preserving the soundtrack on the DVD), and perhaps citing the Who episode and/or the Billy Joel one (which is to say, every song in those episodes is those artists).

- I am the user who has created that section and I'm planning on making it a lot more extensive (adding the album each song was originally found on, updating the format so it's a little easier on the eyes, etc.) and it is indeed a little ridiculous to have it take up so much space, so I'm going to move it to its own page in a few moments.

[edit] Cameos
Are all of the guest stars listed in the "Guest Stars and Cameo Appearances" actually uncredited? I'm pretty sure Schwartzman, Hodgson, and David Koechner are all credited at the top of the show. Mseyers 16:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- I would go so far as to say everybody listed in that section is credited with their appearance, but I'm not 100% sure on Feig (but why list him and not the other writers in the same scene?).
