Things We Screwed Up....

Ok, I'm sure there are more, but this is from the Freaks and Geeks official website:

STAR WARS
Pilot episode
NEAL: “You should handle Alan the same way Han Solo dealt with Jabba the Hut. Avoid him.”
SAM: “Just avoid him forever.”
NEAL: “Just for four years.”

A lot of our viewers were confused by this one, wondering how Neal could know that Han and Jabba would meet years later in “Return of the Jedi”. But in saying four years, Neal means the length of high school, not how long Han avoided Jabba in the film series.


THE WALL
Episode #101, “Beers and Weirs”
NICK: “Does anyone wanna come see “The Wall” with me Saturday night?”

This episode is set in 1980. The movie “Pink Floyd The Wall” was not released until August 6, 1982. However, since the album was released December 15, 1979, it’s possible that Nick was referring to a laser show of “The Wall”.


DESIGNATED DRIVER
Episode #101, “Beers and Weirs”
CINDY: “Don’t worry, I’m the designated driver!”

Looks like we forgot that Cindy Sanders is only a freshman at McKinley High, which makes her about fourteen and not old enough to drive. But Cindy would probably still give you a ride… she’s very concerned about safety.


DUKES OF HAZZARD
Episode #104, “Tests and Breasts”
NEAL: “Anyone see “Dukes of Hazzard” last night?”

Neal and the geeks have this discussion in the cafeteria on a school
day. According to “Total Television” by Alex McNeil, “Dukes of Hazzard” aired on Friday nights in 1980. There is no way the geeks would have been in school the day after watching the show.
