Created by Paul Feig and produced by Judd Apatow, 'Freaks and Geeks' is one of those rare television treasures that no one saw or appreciated until it was too late. Okay, that's unfair. Critics, the press and the loyal fans who did find the show on NBC immediately knew that it was something special. Unfortunately, it didn't find wide enough appeal to last beyond its first season.

Ironically, the show's cast of virtual unknowns now reads like an all-star comedy troupe, which is a testament to the brilliant casting that went on behind the scenes of the show. Finding such talented kids, and then coupling them with brilliant writing crafted on of the most revered television shows of all time.

Freaks and Geeks is not only a cult classic among TV fans, but it's also one of TV Squad's favorite "Ol' Yellers". Those are the shows that were taken out back and shot down by the networks before they had a chance to fully develop, despite the crying, whimpering, snot-producing pleas of those who loved them most. It may not be clever, but it sounded a lot nicer than "stillborns".

So it's no surprise that the show made a cameo appearance in a recent AOL interview with mega-superduperstar Seth Rogen on the heels of his new movie Observe and Report about a rogue mall cop who is more tazer-happy than the campus police at the University of Florida.

Well, it's a trailer for a short film called Life is Short starring Samm Levine of Freaks and Geeks along with Family Guy and American Dad creator Seth MacFarlane.

Levine plays a short guy who has a thing for women much taller than himself. MacFarlane plays his life coach who encourages him to leave his girlfriend to pursue giant women ("giant" being a relative term in this case). The trailer was posted by the short's director, Riki Lindhome, who says the full 12-minute version should be on YouTube in six months, and since he left that comment five months ago, I suspect it should pop up sometime next month. That's how amazing my math skills are.
