Seth Rogen's Life After 'Freaks and Geeks'

Seth Rogen came from a modest upbringing, so it wasn't a huge let down when 'Freaks and Geeks' ended, because he had made more money in one season than he'd ever seen.

it always frustrates me that freaks and geeks got cancelled and didn't get any more seasons

But Friends which sucked ass went on for two fucking decades.

[@calisongbird]

Unpopular opinion: I think a well-done, well-conceived reboot with as much of the original cast as possible would be incredibly successful. We can follow everyone’s lives into adulthood, see how they handle their own kids, jobs, friendships, deaths, etc. It’s so clear to me that there IS an audience for that. I know people like to shit on reboots, but I think if Apatow and Feig were at the helm again, it really could work. Although I’m not sure if anyone would want to work with James Franco again…..

Rebecca Jade Bowen I was looking for this

[@StonedAlone]

that's so wild haha, everytime I watch it I forget he's in there like an easter egg

[@jackselle4607]

It’s amazing how many of them have had such successful careers, I highly recommend watching the short doc on the show, it really showed that sometimes things are supposed to end. The show was a launch pad for them

[@atsuyak768]

I like that perspectice wow

[@arzuplt8999]

Where can i find the doc

[@leosognarly4239]

[@abramsullivan7764]

Man Freaks and Geeks should've been the show that I would've watched on Netflix but it's been removed.

[@Jinx275]

I think it's still up on YT

[@isaacfowler]

just google "freaks and geeks episode #" and you can watch them all on vimeo

[@TwasNeverThus2]

it's on hulu

[@alfonzo9389]

Freaks & Geeks broke my Netflix binge virginity

[@ktpinnacle]

Interesting how well he understood what was good and bad at such a young age.

[@rockerdude725973]

A lot of people are. I was the same way.

[@ItsKapow]

Seth Rogen: HEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA

[@jaineas]

Best comment HEHEHEHEHHAHAH

[@manoloortiz5175]

Not accepting to do a tv show that you clearly don’t see is going to satisfy you: Seth Rogen had a lot of integrity at 18 years old

[@DavidGiragosian]

There should be a Freaks and Geeks, the adult years.

[@michaelpfogerty]

I first saw Freaks and Geeks back in 04, when the first disc with 3 episodes arrived in my mailbox from Netflix. I was hooked instantly and I’ve adored the show so very deeply ever since. It changed my life in ways a show shouldn’t have the right to do. Thank you Paul and Judd. Seriously thank you.

[@bryanlafferty4631]

I miss those days of netflix

[@stopstalkingmegoogl]

Seth is one of the few famous people I would genuinely love to meet because I feel like he would be cool about it.

[@dineroboyjay9964]

Freaks and Geeks & Undeclared are Classics. Wish they Both could’ve made it past one season But I’ll take what I can get.

[@seangerant653]

whats the date on this ??

[@kobil316SH]

God I love that show

[@eklypised]

It’s a dam shame this show only has one season...

[@GalinDray]

Anyone know the sitcom he turned down? I'm so curious

[@FAYMprod]

not counting unproduced pilots or pilots that weren't picked up, there were four sitcoms on the CW circa 2006 (post F&G, pre Super Bad). Three of them were primarily Black casts and then forth was Reba. So not clear. My guess is Reba or a sitcom that ultimately didn't make it to air.

[@JuanLopez-lp8ig]

If u like Freaks and Geeks, watch the show Undeclared, it's also by Judd Apatow, it's got more or less the same vibe and Seth Rogen's in this one too, sadly it also got cancelled after only one season

[@oldnbaschool]

you should maybe invite more directors or film editors as well. It's just a suggestion. Thank you!

I wonder what cw show they asked him to be on

[@aaronhedick4355]

I was scrolling down to try to find this answer. Guess there isn’t one haha.

[@brendansheehy8124]

Anyone else remember him in Dawson’s Creek with Busy Philips during this period?

[@TehCoza]

Take a shot everytime he says "like"

[@bostonbruinsfan247]

It should have gone at least 2 more seasons. I'll never understand why it didn't.

[@brightblackgrouse6236]

impressive

[@milesofmxments]

I saw him at a blue bottle coffee in la and I got too scared to say hi

[@aarondavid5866]

good he doesnt need you to bother him i'm sure

[@chrisrakete]

Fuck. I wanna fuckin' watch this now. I got my credit card out and put all my details in only to find out it's only available for pre-order. I remember watching Freaks and Geeks on television when I was younger. That show was fuckin' cool. Freaks for life

[@chrisrakete]

ps. any plans on talking to Leslie Mann? That woman's boss as fuck

[@aliciaerwin8280]

I fucking loved freaks & geeks.perfect depiction of stoner kids in the 80's☺

[@LamaMama26]

Can anyone answer why this show is censored? I mean is far as Seth Rogen saying shit.

[@nebulousisgod]

You get less advertisers with an R rating on KZbin. I think.

[@pauliswaycool]

It's an actual show on directv that's why

[@TheJakeChandler]

KZbin has made it so that videos with excessive swearing don't get put into the algorithm as much, so they won't show up on the front page and won't show up in recommendations as much as "clean" content does. You'll notice a lot of KZbinrs, even popular ones, now censor themselves more (at least with "fuck"). KZbin sucks for content creators right now (in many more ways than just censorship).

[@dshuffman32]

my sister was in highschool with one of the actors! :)

[@missdiana407]

What comedy did he reject?

[@JG-kk1mr]

Maybe What I Like About You?? Just a guess.

[@aarondavid5866]

ok seriously how much money could he of got for that bit part on a semi successful short run show?

[@Tommy88-]

Probably at the very least like $40,000 and episode or so.

[@aarongottfried5595]

ur guessing he was a replaceable no one then.

[@stevenspenneberg7407]

He was pretty good in it.

We need to know what shitty show he's talking about !

[@bigoneish]

Really...fucking stupid kid

[@seanl67]

It's funny because he was actually the worst character on that show.

[@hayleybeck7340]

I feel like Seth Rogen is so pretentious. You know those people who try so hard to not seem pretentious that they come off as pretentious? lol that's him every time I watch and see him in an interview.

[@hayleybeck7340]

@@jon8004 I'm sure it is lol....I just think he tries too hard to seem like he doesn't care about the things that others actors care about- like success, respect, people thinking of him as talented and funny....and it just comes off as disingenuous to me. Just my opinion and I'm usually a fan of most actors who have made it, because I truly believe it takes a very hard working and resilient person to get that far. It doesn't mean I don't respect him and what he's accomplished- I just don't really like his personality. I loved Supebad. I think sometimes certain personalities just clash and his seems to clash with mine :)

[@susans654]

@@jon8004 I agree with you. I don't see him as pretentious at all but rather as a guy who just knows what he likes and doesn't like. Pretty down to earth and easy going in every interview I've watched.

[@nebulousisgod]

I kind of see what you mean and I definitely have known people who are like that. It’s also impossible to get them to see that themselves. Interviews are weird though, they’re responding to the person asking them questions so it depends on the interviewer.

[@shaneth138]

This entire sentence feels like projection to me.

[@trevjaywill387]

It would then be difficult to not come off as pretentious then, since it seems like he isn't, yet he still is. I feel like Seth Rogen is self-deprecating enough in other situations to not really be pretentious, he also doesn't seem to take himself too seriously here while still giving sincere answers. I don't necessarily love the guy either nor his work, but I mean he's being asked questions about himself, so it might be hard not to.
