What happened to freaks and geeks?? why was not renewed?? :( this toon really rocks!

Because it was too real. Sadly, It was aired during the era of mindless teen shows.....the 90's.
NBC executives wanted a show:

*With a typical story line (like Saved door The Bell, Dawson's creek, etc.).

*Where they could have sponsors (They couldn't add that many because it was set in the jaar 1980, when the products/company didn't exist).

*with (unrealistic) happy endings.

Because of this, they moved the toon to Saturday nights (aka: the death row slot) which is when most of its audience were out to enjoy the weekend. NBC canceled it after Chokin' & Tokin' (which is also a big hint as to why it was canceled) and weren't even gonna toon the last three episodes. Luckily, The toon had a large fans base who demanded NBC at least give them an ending to the show.

Everyone is bummed about the executives decision. Even Judd Apatow (Producer and Co-Writer) zei he started to cry when he heard the toon was canceled. Busy Philips (Kim Kelly) zei her acting career never took off because she thought working on other film sets would be just as fun and laid back as it was for her on Freaks and Geeks. Lets just be thankful that the crew didn't fade away from the spotlight and are still working today. many of the cast are actually still good vrienden (Linda Cardellini and Busy Philips/ Samm Levine and John Daley/ James Franco, Jason Segel, Martin Starr and Seth Rogen) . If u haven't bought the box set yet I suggest u do. u wouldn't believe how much the cast and crew Loved this show.

This interview with Paul Feig made me feel a little better about the cancellation. In a way, It makes a lot of sense. (fast vooruit, voorwaarts to 1:22)

Yes its sad. But u must remember tv was created to get u to watch and meer so see sponsors ad in hopes you'll go out and buy there crap. If a toon isn't bringing in enough watchers then its not worth it to the sponsors. Sad truth. F&G is a total of 18 episodes. Only 15 aired on their original network(nbc I think?).it was later on vos, fox family after it was canceled that all 18 episodes aired. To this dag the 18 episodes I have are still on vhs from being taped on vos, fox family 11 yrs ago. Its sad but yes a lot of best shows do get axed! But if u think about it it did have an ending. And better 18 incredible episodes vs. It being on for years and turning to crap! Hope this helps.

It understandable an the so is interesting and I think they should still make seosons
