Freaks and Geeks DVD Boxset Plot

The show centers on a teenage girl, Lindsay Weir (Linda Cardellini), and her brother, Sam (John Francis Daley), who both attend William McKinley High School during the 1980–1981 school year in the town of Chippewa, Michigan, a fictional suburb of Detroit. A portion of the show's appeal can be attributed to its realistic portrayal of teen angst without the precocious repartee that is typically prominent in teen-centric television shows.
