One of the greatest tragedies in TV programing was the cancellation of Freaks And Geeks by a man who had zero understanding of being a kid in public schools. Linda was perfect as Lindsey. My wife and I still watch it at least once a year.
I think freaks and geeks were kinda ahead of its time and that’s why it got cancelled
that and also terrible show timing. Wish it carried onnnn :(
I remember catching a glimpse of it not knowing what the show was called. It looked lame so I passed on it. Years later I watched this show from the start because I saw Linda Cardellini in Boy Meets World. Somebody mentioned that she was on Freaks and Geeks and I did not know that show by name. It turned out to be the show I passed on. It became one of my favorites
that’s so true if it were like a netflix original now it would be a lot bigger
It’s actually because NBC kept on switching its schedule, so it was hard for it to build up a big fanbase
No, it really wasn't. Get real. What the hell was 'ahead of its time' about that show? Rogen was bad. Franco wasn't much better. Not to mention the cliches/stereotypes.
Freaks and Geeks was the best show ever to be canceled after one season.
My So Called Life is right up there as well.
Agreed; even better than Firefly, 'though that was almost as amazing.
It was a two thirds of a single season
@@cactaceous My So Called Life last more than 1 season. Freaks & Geeks didnt even get a chance.
Mike Riley My So Called Life was cancelled after 1 season. 19 episodes. Freaks and Geeks was cancelled after 1 season. 18 episodes.
Fun fact: She nailed looking 16 at Freaks and Geeks while in real life she was 24.
Edit: a few words.
She's middle-aged and finally looks like she's 24.
@D-Beat & Techno There, I’ve done it. You can stop whining now.
Wasn’t she like the oldest non adult cast member and the guy who played her brother, Sam, the youngest cast member of all?
100 years from now - people will still be sad that Freaks and Geeks was cancelled.
Very few people, though. The majority will be dead.
@@Amethyst_Friendthey can do a sequel. Like the 70s show.
Freaks and Geeks was on 20 years ago and only made 18 episodes and they still mourn its cancellation.
One of the best shows ever. Some shows run 10 plus seasons and don't achieve half of what Freaks and Geeks did.
Damn she is beautiful
Her voice never changed.
She really doesn't look over 30, honestly. Sometimes people exaggerate with those young looking celebrities but this is remarkable lol
She does, but she looks good.
She definitely looks over 30, yall need to stop tying youthfulness with beauty.
@@serenitybeats1677 she does and she’s so beautiful!
41 and looks 28
not in Bloodline
P. Olsen that's called a smile dipshit
If Clint Barton aka Hawkeye finds out that I had a date with his wife, I'm shish kabob!!!!!!!!
Derek Shelby eh more like early 30s
Black and white helps
Okay I hate making comments about appearance on such a great channel with such great interviews that are not superficial at all...but HOW does Linda look better now than she did in Freaks and Geeks? Absolutely stunning!
biggest problem with the Scooby Doo movies is that Velma was way hotter than Daphne
Nah, she hasn't done any of that BS plastic surgery, that would make her look worse. She's just a beautiful girl who is aging like a fine wine.
Probably some surgery, Also has you get more successful in Hollywood you get more access to nutritionists ,and probably makeup professionals. Which is why some look better in their middle age, rather then early years .
The Hollywood elite consume the corpses of infants to stay young. MUHAHAHA
@@dirtysaint5324 The streets will flow with the blood of the nonbelievers?
The problem with Freaks and Geeks wasn't the show itself, which was amazing, but the network didn't promote it very well. Had they believed in this fantastic show they would have done something to save it. Sad story about one of the best shows to ever be cancelled after such a short time.
The show would've been a lot more successful nowadays if the show could be released on Peacock instead of NBC. I mean its a show about high school kids so the shelf life of the show probably was only 1-2 more seasons before Franco, Rogen and Segel's characters would've no longer been in high school.
I worked with Linda a couple of times years ago and she was very nice. She was warm and friendly. I need to watch 'Freaks and Geeks'.
she is brilliant in “dead to me”
I remember my boyfriend's mom telling me Freaks & Geeks was cancelled because she had seen that Letterman ep. She was like, hey that show you two like was cancelled, sorry. I was so bummed!
I first saw freaks and geeks when it was on syndication on some family channel in about 2001. I had such a huge crush on linda. i still think she's a babe.
Freaks and Geeks was so damn good. Whoever decided to cancel it should have lost their job.
Linda Cardellini and everyone in F&G were so good.
And since the first episode to this day I have a huge crush on her.
Letterman once had to host a show where he found out in the moment that it had been canceled. He had Tom Snyder on his old morning show and Snyder mentioned the show had been canceled when that wasn’t public knowledge yet. He must have understood what that was like.
Watching the show when it first aired was the best. I haven't seen anything like it as a kid. I would think about it during school all day.
Dear god she’s perfect
Absolutely an underrated Hollywood beauty.
ugh i just discovered freaks and geeks. as a 15 year old i so relate to it. and it’s cliche but like. i really wish i was there for it. i was disappointed after binging the first few episodes finding out it was cancelled early.
God how heart breaking to find out like that! She is amazing in dead to me ❤
dog i just finished this show and feel sad and unfulfilled by that cliffhanger ending and knowing the whole time and GAH!!!! i love this show! what the hell!!!
Linda is a goddess. What a surreal situation to deal with.
I have a huge crush on this woman.
Where is this Letterman interview? Can't find it on youtube.
She looks “her age” a little more on Dead to Me, but still looks fantastic.
I miss you so much "Lindsay" ...
💚
Lovely lady. Glad she got the gig on Dead To Me.
I'm currently re watching freaks and geeks right now in 2023, it is a great show it had something to say that's very real. It says something about Life, Friendship, Love, and Family.
It's that 70's Show meets The Wonder Years, in one.
Hi. Also watching again in 2023. I didn’t remember that it was only one season and was bummed. Such a great show. So real I actually teared up a few times at the good ole days.
And I agree with the 70s Show meets WY comparison.
@@cassietherainbowsend722 definitely understandable about the tearing up, I just past saw the episode with Neil finding out his dad sucks cheating.
I was like oh yeah I remember now how heartbreaking that story is.
@@cassietherainbowsend722Neil's episode with his dad actually made me remember my childhood, I had a neighbor buddy who's parents got into a huge fight one day.
My buddies dad had done something bad at the time I was like 9 so I wasn't exactly sure what but it was very similar to Neil's story tho
@@evanreid6917 crazy how the feelings of things that happened when we were so young come back with the memories. Sometimes it’s a good thing and sometimes not.
I cried damn near ugly at the episode with the sports rivalry where they get the drinks thrown at them and later find the car, vandalize it and a fight ensues. Brought back some good memories of the Us vs Them days.
@@evanreid6917 yeah, I broke when a garage door finally opened and we see “flossem” and Neil throws the garage door opener.
2:04 damn that shit was loud af 😂
That show should have had 10 seasons.
its a shame the show was canceled it was so great
Loved her since Velma.
For me, still one of most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen
She got screwed over and so did so many others. It's a FANTASTIC show.
She’s SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
One of the best shows ever.
She was good in Brokeback Mountain.
Matt Perrigo she was in that
Huge acting talent pool that was in freaks and geeks....Linda is unbelievable in dead to me.
The dopest person ever. Super funny and incredible.
Good God she doesn't look a day older than 26❤️❤️😍
You can’t be fucking serious lmao
@@serenitybeats1677 shut up
@@kingamity1985 I love her but she looks her age. You can look good in your 40s
@@serenitybeats1677 ok seemed like you were implying she looked like super old lmao
@@serenitybeats1677 i wouldn't say she looks 26, but I definitely wouldn't say she looks 40 either lol
why did they cancel the show? it waa great
It was great. The studio execs have since acknowledged that it was a mistake to do so. But it's too late now. :(
Anthony Perez apparently NBC thought it was to harsh
@@76JStucki ahh fuckin idiots
Ratings were crap too, but the time slot had a lot to do with that.
It was so wild to me when I realized there was only one season, I remember the commercials for the show so vividly from when I was a child. Once I grew up and actually watched it couldn’t believe it only had one season, I felt like I had always seen it advertised for years
Damn:(im mad it cancelled. I was watching it calmly till i reached the end of the season and tried going to season 2 and it didnt work💔
Me too! Just last night. Bummer.
I did not see that twist coming at 00:47 lol!!!
I'm still in love with her
Her performance in Brokeback Mountain was excellent.
She is a stunning woman.
She is soo my type
I love her voice
she should have been on an episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER!!!!
Marshall's mistress!!! how meta- would THAT have been???? 😉
wow hope did she cope with that?
I’m still salty it’s was cancelled😤🥺😭
im so fan from linda
Too
It’s the black and white. As Orson Welles said, it’s the actor’s friend.
she's so fine, I imagine they should name a type of juicy pasta after her
Whoa, she hasn't aged a DAY. Incredible. True natural beauty.
Are you dumb? It's black and white, she's wearing make up. She has aged a lot. She looks 40. You can clearly see it on her neck, hands and arms. You can also see it around her eyes and mouth when she speaks compared to when she was younger. Incredible, human in fact.
Gramma's Boy
I remember watching one of the last episodes of Freaks and Geeks thar aired. It was the one where Linda's character smokes dope and gets high. I always kind of thought that it was that episode - showing one of their characters smoking dope - and it being funny - that killed the show. But ... I don't know.
.
She is sweet.
She so fine
Can’t see her for all the smoke coming off
gorgeous woman!
I’m pretty sure you misspelled her name
To think that they cancelled this show because they wanted room for Who Wants to be A Millionaire.. stupid decision
Tv networks are so stupid but hindsight is 2020 if that hadn’t been cancelled I don’t if the cast would be as famous as they are now with their other roles
Chutney, what happened to your perm?!
The 2000 ''IT Bubble'' financial crisis killed this show.
I hate the financial oligarchy for many other reasons, but I'll never forget they somewhere caused Freaks and Geeks cancellation
what, no?
i’m pretty sure the more likely reason was the inconsistent time-slots the show’s been given, which led to viewership remaining relatively low. It had a 7 million viewer average throughout its 15 episode run (3 were unaired), which is phenomenal in today’s standards, but really poor compared to 14 mil from Frasier and Friends
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like a mature version of Jennette McCurdy
Still smoking hot.
I just heard Wendy talking xd
She's a hottie
Always loved sexy velma!
I like her but Freaks and Geeks was so overrated.
She looks weird in black and white but still a smokeshow
She’s so hot
Wife 🤤🤤🤤
HEAVENLY LINDA IS A H.U.B.: HEAVENLY UNIQUE BEAUTY....:)
Nobody:
Me: Why is Sarah Silvermans voice coming out of this persons mouth??
She looks so old!😣😣
??? She looks damn good to me!
She looks gorgeous and also looks like a young for her age person with that makeup
Bitch please.
No she doesn't 😕
Well, she is over 21. Adulthood makes you look mature.
