Onesies

Emily and Andrew continue their discussion of FREAKS AND GEEKS, Paul Feig and Judd Apatow's 1999 NBC comedy-drama about high school in the very early eighties. Amid their episode recaps (going in airdate order), the hosts also focus on such topics as The Bionic Woman, Mary Sues (and the weight of using such a phrase), and the joys of sight gags.

Emily and Andrew kick off Season Two with a look at FREAKS AND GEEKS, an NBC television series created by Paul Feig and executive-produced by Judd Apatow. Listen as they talk about Ben Foster in a problematic part, baby Martin Starr, argue over Joe Flaherty's Canadian heritage, and so on!

We had an audio hiccup but that's fixed here. Sorry about that early listeners! In spite of mostly disappointing or dreadful guest stars, majorly creepy plot points, and bad sitcom fatigue, Emily and Andrew successfully complete their watchthrough of 1989's FREE SPIRIT, the story of a witch (Corinne Bohrer) and her unlikable human charges. They also announce next season's show, which hopefully will not involve Dave Coulier or mullets.

In the penultimate episode of season one, Emily and Andrew realize FREE SPIRIT--despite being an ostensible Corinne Bohrer vehicle--might not be a brilliant-but-cancelled situation (or even, unfortunately cancelled). Instead, the show might've had it coming. Especially with this batch of episodes.

This episode, Emily and Andrew continue discussing FREE SPIRIT, including episodes featuring very recognizable guest stars, horrendous mullets (aren't they all), and discover Alyson Hannigan is the only kid on the show worth a darn. For multiple reasons.

In their premiere episode, Emily and Andrew dive into the depths of FREE SPIRIT, a 1989 ABC sitcom about a witch (Corinne Bohrer) becoming a housekeeper to recently divorced dad, Franc Luz, and his three kids, Edan Gross, Paul Scherrer, and Alyson Hannigan.
