Plot

The show centered on a teenage girl, Lindsay Weir (played by Linda Cardellini), and her brother, Sam (John Francis Daley), both attending McKinley High School during the 1980-1981 school year in the town of Chippewa, Michigan, a fictional suburb of Detroit. (The town likely got its name from Chippewa Valley High School located in Clinton Charter Township, Michigan. Paul Feig graduated from the school in 1980.)

Their friends, respectively, constituted the freaks Daniel Desario (James Franco), Ken Miller (Seth Rogen), Nick Andopolis (Jason Segel), Kim Kelly (Busy Philipps) and geeks Neal Schweiber (Samm Levine) and Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr) of the title. The Weir's parents Harold (Joe Flaherty) and Jean (Becky Ann Baker) were featured in every episode, and Millie Kentner (Sarah Hagan), Lindsay's geeky, highly religious former best friend, was a recurring character.

The show's starting point was Lindsay's transition from her life as an academically proficient student, star mathlete, and proper young girl, with Millie as her like-minded best friend, to an Army-jacket-wearing teenager who hangs out with troubled slackers. Her relationships with her new friends, and the friction they cause with her parents and with her own self-image, form one central strand of the show; the other follows Sam and his group of geeky friends as they navigate a very different part of the social universe.
