A part of the charm of “Freaks and Geeks,” a single-season 1999 comedy-drama, is the fully developed and compelling characters. Each character has a strong narrative — there’s Lindsey’s relationship with her parents, Sam’s journey to deciding what he wants and Danny’s desperation to belong. Even the guidance counselor serves as a central character, developing

I think we can all agree that middle school was an awkward phase in our lives. Unlike for middle schoolers today, who look like they are about to turn 25, middle school was once filled with prepubescent boys and hormone-ridden girls.

The book caught fire through Reese Witherspoon’s book club and Hello Sunshine, and
