Linda Cardelini in Freaks & Geeks in front of cast photo
Freaks & Geeks would have been worse if it had followed through on the original romantic plans for Linda Cardelini's Lindsay. Freaks & Geeks has endured over two decades since it was released, thanks largely to the universal approach it took to the high school experience.
Related Freaks And Geeks Cast: Where They Are Now From Linda Cardellini to Jason Segel to Seth Rogen, many actors in the sadly short-lived Freaks and Geeks cast went on to become huge stars. This highlights one of my favorite elements of Freaks & Geeks. The series committed to subverting typical high school archetypes and dynamics. In most high school shows, "Bad Boy with a Heart" Daniel would have been Lindsay's eventual romantic partner. This was even seemingly series creator Paul Feig's long-term intention, according to an interview he gave to Vanity Fair about what season 2 would have looked like.
Most high school flings are short-lived, and Lindsay's love life in Freaks & Geeks is reflective of that in the best kind of way. It follows a similar subversion the show took with Sam's infatuation with Cindy, highlighting how expectations in youth can be undercut by reality. The series never pulls punches with its approach to the experience of being a teenager in high school, including the highs and lows of romance.
