Next, they break down the reasons for its premature ending and why its short life span contributed to its prolonged impact (56:36 ). Later, they share their feelings on a potential ‘Freaks and Geeks’ reunion down the line (74:08 ). Finally, they answer the titular question: “Did it stick the landing?” (71:25 ).
