9. The Cast of ‘Freaks and Geeks’ Prove Success is the Greatest Revenge

Some say that the best revenge is living well. After 12 amazing yet poorly-rated episodes, Judd Apatow’s beautiful 1980s high school show Freaks and Geeks was cancelled. One of the biggest complaints studio execs gave to Apatow as reasoning for his failure was that he picked the wrong cast. Apatow decided those claims were patently false; as a result, he stuck with his core cast members as he transitioned into films. And today, we have the careers of Jason Segel, Martin Starr, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, and a host of others.
