Unlike the beautiful teens populating most television shows in 1999, Freaks And Geeks,created by Paul Feig and executive produced by him and Judd Apatow (40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Super Bad), told the stories of the rest of us. At McKinley High in the suburbs of Detroit in 1980, were a group of outsiders; the stoners, the tough kids, the bad girls, the brains and the dorks. It was a smart, funny, authentic testimonial to the highs and horrors of high school for the kids who didn t fit anywhere. The show, fiercely loved and supported by its fans, was cancelled after 19 amazing episodes. As a thank you to the people who have loved and supported this show, the Cast and Creatives all came together to create this special limited Yearbook Edition. Previously available only via the Freaks and Geeks website, and now long out of print, this special edition contains all the original episodes, commentaries and special features of the Complete Season set, plus two bonus discs all housed in a loving recreation of a 40-page yearbook, chock-full of exclusive photos, memorabilia and essays.
Special Features on the the Yearkbook Edition's Two Exclusive Bonus Discs * Museum of Television & Radio Panel * Table Read * Deleted Scenes * Original Cast Auditions * Raw Footage * Mr. Rosso Live In Concert * Photo Galleries * NBC Promos * Behind the Scenes footage

Fantastic!!!:
This is one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. It perfectly captures what it is like to be in high school and is both moving and funny every episode. This yearbook edition is pricey but a must have for hardcore fans. The quality of the packaging is unparalleled, featuring tons of great photos and articles within the yearbook. The first six dvds are identical to the regular set, full of great commentaries, deleted scenes, auditions, and behind the scenes footage. The extra two bonus discs on this set... more info
No closed captioning:
Great! No closed captioning again! Thanks a lot Shout! The first edition wasn't captioned and neither is this follow up! Lets all give big fat ZERO rating to Shout! on behalf of the hearing-impaired crowd! :( Yes, I'm talking to you Shout!, the producers of this video. Shame on you for not captioning this and nearly all of the other DVDs you release.
No, it actually IS a great deal!:
As someone who bought this Yearbook version when it came out, I'm actually glad that this repressing isn't cheaper than the $120 I paid for it. Selfish, I know! But at the price Amazon has it for, it's still a great deal, only a few bucks more than I paid. Is it worth getting if you already have the regular 6-DVD version? Depends on how much you love the show. Personally, I'd have to say yes. The 2 bonus DVDs are great--they really help you understand what went into making the show on a day to day... more info
Is This Reprint Worth the Extra Money?:
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Freaks and Geeks. But this yearbook reprint is severely overpriced. It was originally marketed as a limited edition when it was released in 2004 until it sold out in January 2007. You could somewhat justify the high price of $130 on that version because it was SUPPOSED TO BE A COLLECTORS ITEM with a limited printing of only 25,000. Now Shout Factory has decided to start making it again, except they aren't calling it a limited edition. What doesn't make sense is that they are... more info
