Madmen is the best written show on tv currently. Shame that its gonna be gone after this season. It really captures the essence of advertising in the 60's and the absolute cutthroat mentality of business in general. Great show.

I want it to be gone after this season. Yes, it is written in a pretty good way but I don't want it to drag out to the point where it starts to take a nose dive like other shows do.

Does anyone remember Undeclared? It came out around 2001, and starred most of the people from Freaks and Geeks. It was an Apatow creation.

Yeah i remember that show about the college dorm guys. Can't believe fox didn't pick that series up i really liked it. As far as i remember the only guys on freaks were Segal and Rogen though. The lead character was in Knocked up though. Good show.

I saw a few episodes of Undeclared on Youtube (it's got the whole show and all of Freaks and Geeks for anyone who's cheap/poor and hasn't seen them) and it was pretty awesome. Not as good as Freaks and Geeks (easily in my top five shows of all time along with Buffy and Firefly), but still excellent.

I have only recently started watching Freaks and Geeks and absolutely love it.

What!! Only season 5 and then it's done? This always happens, hence Freaks and Geeks.

I cried when Greek finished.
