I've also been watching this on Netflix. It keeps surprising me when there is an obvious setup to a standard TV trope, and then the writers take into a different, refreshing direction. It scares me sometimes how much I could relate to the geeks back when I was in high school/jr high.
I love the comment about "independent television". I don't think Freaks and Geeks would fit in with today's network tv, but maybe could find a following on cable.
