Freaks and Geeks (TV Series) Beers and Weirs (1999) User Reviews

"Should've hired a magician"

[Mr-Fusion · 8/10 · 16 October 2017]

If "Freaks and Geeks" is anything, it's coming-of-age; and 'Beers and Weirs' is the first real step in that direction. It's Lindsay's concerted effort to fit in by throwing a kegger while the folks are away - which spirals completely out of control in no time. But it's not the premise, it's the characters, and the interactions are pure gold (Seth Rogen, in particular). And Martin Starr firmly establishes Bill as the one-liner king. But Linda Cardellini is key to all of this as Lindsay comes face-to-face with a life that's all kinds of scary. It's funny, sad, and altogether well-written.

8/10

Beers and Weirs (#1.2)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 13 February 2018]

Parents are gone for the weekend and Lindsey throws a keg party to impress Daniel. The geeks replace the keg with a non alcoholic one.

This episode is pretty funny. I loved the idea of boys replacing the keg of beer. And so many still believing that they were drunk. Bill getting drunk and all the lines from him were hilarious. He is indeed genius.

That lame girl who was so anti alcohol was also funny. I mean she makes me roll my eyes but the stupid things she says are funny.

A good Episode

[lisp93 · 9/10 · 1 July 2009]

This is a very funny episode and is a good episode at the beginning of the series where the audience sees Lindsay trying to fit in with the "freaks" by throwing a party while her parents are away, Sam tries to talk her out of it but she persists in throwing it.I think it is the funniest of the early season episodes with many jokes you will find yourself laughing out loud throughout the episode Spoiler: Funniest parts are during the sober students skit when Harris as "Bob" tells Millie as "Mary" that he like her party then asks her if anyone has cocaine but then later decides that he can have coke anytime and would rather watch Millie open her presents. And then later in the episode when, during the party, Millie breaks into "Jesus is just alright with me" and Nick starts joining in

Really good episode...

Good mode, good acting with a bit of drama, at first I thought this show is for children but I guess I'll give it another chance.

Not as strong as the first one

[SleepTight666 · 6/10 · 6 July 2009]

The second episode was a nice step into the season. Perhaps not as strong as the first one, but you got the chance to get to know the characters a little better.

In this episode the Weirs went out and left Lindsay in charge of the house. Her newly found friends convinced her to have a party at her place and of course that bound to have a bad ending.

Lindsay only did it to impress Daniel, who she later finds with Kim making out on her bed.

In the meantime, the Geeks think of a brilliant plan of swapping the beer with fake beer. Neil, who has a huge crush on Lindsay tries to get her attention throughout the episode. She pretty much ignores him right until then end for helping her end the catastrophic party.

Overall, it was a nice second episode. Bill once again had the best lines. Though Millie's 'I like to get high on life' is a classic one.

THREE stars.
