For a pair of short-lived series that chronicled the lives of societal outcasts, "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared" yielded a bumper crop of talents who went on to make a big impact on mainstream culture.
Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jason Segel, to name a few, moved on from the lamentably brief but fiercely cherished shows to widespread recognition.
With the exception of Franco — who appeared via pre-taped message — all of the above, and most of the series' casts, were on hand for the "Freaks and Geeks"/"Undeclared" reunion panel held at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills on Saturday, as part of PaleyFest 2011, presented by the Paley Center for Media.
