Freak and Geeks, the landmark sitcom that ended up being a launching pad for much of the comedic talent you see on TV and in theaters these days, is getting a documentary with both A&E and Morgan Spurlock on board.

More and more, 1999 becomes a distant memory, and thus, a deep dive back into Freaks and Geeks will probably be a refreshing surprise for many folks who enjoy Paul Feig, Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, James Franco, Busy Philipps, etc. etc.

You’ve now got time between this moment and a TBD premiere date for this doc to, at the very least, watch the series that ended unfortunately far too soon.

Clear out 10PM on both April 24th and April 29th.

Next week will be a big one for W. Kamau Bell as his brand new exploratory series of discriminatory subcultures, United Shades of America, and a brand new Morgan Spurlock directed comedy special, Semi-Prominent Negro, are both premiering.

More specifically…

United Shades of America will premiere on CNN on Sunday, April 24th at 10PM
Semi-Prominent Negro will premiere on Showtime on Friday, April 29th at 10PM

Bell’s last series, Totally Biased on FX/FXx, came to an end far too early (especially with the popularity of shows like Full Frontal and Last Week Tonight) and both his new show and special should be well worth catching.

You can hear Bell chat about both with Trevor Noah from last week’s Daily Show here.

Acclaimed documentarian Morgan Spurlock has slowly, but surely acquainted with himself more and more with comedy over the last few years. Just look at the humor throughout We The Economy.

Now, he’s really throwing his hat in the comedy ring with directing the first stand-up special for W. Kamau Bell. Of course, Bell being the socio-poltically conscious comedian that he is, it seems like a match made in heaven or whatever higher state of being you believe in.

If you’re in NYC this week, specifically in Brooklyn at Roulette on Dec. 2nd, you can and should go to the taping of this special. RSVP here.
