The humor in the air is palpable

Who doesn't like Judd Apatow films? His humor is perverse and that's why we love him. He's has stated in an interview that in ALL of his upcoming movies, following Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he will show a penis at least once. Why not? What the hell, right? Plus if its for comedy, who gives a shit? If he can get away with showing multiple tits, fake balls and hilarious dick drawings, then why not throw in a surprising penis*.

So if you like films by him, do you think you would like a TV show by him? Can't you just imagine such a thing? Hold up. Wait a minute. Oh yeah! That's right, there is such a thing. Two things in fact: Freaks and Geeks. Undeclared.

Don't get your hopes up though. They aren't running any more. As a matter of fact they concluded after getting pulled off the air before either of their seasons ended in 2000 and in 2002. If you look them up you might not recognize the names but if you watch it and if you've seen Apatow's movies then you will definitely recognize the people because the people he used for his show ten years ago, he still uses in his movies, even as bit parts.

PS. Year One (June 19) and Funny People (July 31) are going to rule.
PPS. If you want to watch them, let me know.

*Note: I am not obsessed with saying penis. It's the thought of his movies incorporation of penises that makes it funny and necessary to say multiple times. Penis.

To Enjoy.
