“Tricks And Treats” has brilliant highs and crushing lows that, even 20-plus years after it first aired, still make us sob
In my little family, we love a good seasonal watch—but some we abandon. Just last year, I asked my kids as they opted to squirm and joke rather than pay attention to Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas, “Do we like this anymore?” And just like that, a seven-year tradition of ours ended. Pre-kids, I had my own seasonal watches and would proclaim widely, throughout spooky season, that “Tricks And Treats” from Freaks And Geeks was the uncontested greatest Halloween-themed episode of all time.
Sam is bummed that he has hard homework now and that his friends don’t prove as keen to trick-or-treat as he is; Neal is uncomfortable with his drawn-on mustache and worried about how he’s perceived by the babes, who laugh when they see him out there with the kids. And Bill, previously impervious to the sway of rigid social constructs, grows self-conscious when his Jaime Sommers costume yields stares and rude comments as they go around town.
