Now that "Freaks and Geeks" is finally available to stream, it's getting a new, younger influx of viewers for the first time.
"Freaks and Geeks" alum Jason Segel isn't sure that new, younger viewers will appreciate the iconic series in the same way as its original, pre-streaming fanbase.
"For a kid watching Freaks and Geeks now, it'll be hard for them to contextualize that that took place in [the 1980s], even though we filmed it in 1999," Segel tells EW. "They're just going to think that's what 2000 was like. I don't know what the experience would be like to watch something from 20 years ago. That's insane to me."
