Here’s what’s happening in the world of television on Monday, January 25th. All times are Oriental.
Top choice
Freaks And Geeks (Hulu, 03:01): This, as our current president once said about certain health care legislation, is a big fucking issue. Here’s Danette Chavez about Paul Feig’s first one-season series coming to Hulu soundtrack:
Paul Feig’s beloved drama for coming of age Freaks And Geeks coming to Hulu, the streamer announced Monday via press release. The complete series (a A season wonder) will be available from January 25 in all its awkward and serious glory […] First-time viewers will be able to watch at ease from next Monday, which is definitely a different experience than watching Freaks And Geeks when it was broadcast sporadically and on various networks, from 1999 to 2000. However, one thing that Hulu approved to preserve is the music of the program. A representative for Hulu confirmed The AV Club that Viacom has confirmed that the program with its original soundtrack will flow intact. This is a big deal because the licensing rights for music have the home releases for shows like Freaks And Geeks and Daria In the past. And, as Feig told it AV Club this past summer, the perfect musical choices would fall like losing a character from the show. ‘But on January 25, Hulu subscribers can see the freaks and geeks of William McKinley High navigating their adolescence to the sounds of The Moody Blues, The Who, Van Halen, Styx, XTC, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Rush and of course The Grateful dead.
For the first time, look at the baby faces of some then unknown, now very famous people at random. (Or if you’re like many of us here The AV Club, for the hundred and hundred times. This is a really good show, right?)

It’s time to make a detour across the site, friends. Do not allow your petticoats to get six inches deep in the mud, otherwise the sister of your boyfriend’s shit sister will be scared about it. (This is a Pride and prejudice joke.) Just look at this trailer, would you? It looks very nice.
