Set in a suburban Detroit high school in the early 1980s, this Emmy-nominated drama focuses on the lives of two groups of teens who don't live in the fabricated, glossy world that most TV shows depict as "normal." No, Lindsay Weir (Linda Cardellini) and her brother Sam (John Francis Daly) live in the reality of being less-than-popular that most Americans remember -- or try to forget -- about their high school years.
One of my top favorite shows of all time, with a genius all star cast before they were stars! I'm still trying to get Ashley to watch it, I know she'd love it.
