We have been instructed to write about anything that we want to. I FEEL SO LIBERATED. So what I've decided to write about is....yes, it is the show Freaks and Geeks. Even though it's set in the 1980s, it is very relatable. Also, young Seth Rogen, young James Franco, young Jason Segal. The other people didn't go on to become famous, but they're good actors too. It's an awesome show is what i'm saying. There's only eighteen episodes though, which is really disappointing. My god though, those episodes are good.
Edit: this is the shortest post I've ever written, and it's about something I want to write about. Just an observation.
Hi Ruth,
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I'm a fan myself of this show myself. It kind of reminds me of My So Called Life. Another series that was very well done, but short-lived. Why is it that some of the best TV shows are the ones that are usually killed off?
But I have a few questions for you about your post. You mention that even though the show is set in the 80's it is still relatable. You need to develop this idea. The directions for this post was to write about a self-selected topic. But I also said to use the writing skills developed in your classes. Those skills involve developing you main ideas. You fail to do that here. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on how this show is still relatable. Also, please stay away from calling something awesome without further going into some detail about what is so awesome about it.
You should also consider embedding a YouTube clip of one of the shows. After I read your post I quickly searched YouTube for Freaks and Geeks. Yep, all the shows are posted it looks like. Great show- I just watched one as I enjoyed my morning coffee!
