In a recent interview with Esquire, Director Paul Feig spoke on his classic series 'Freaks and Geeks' and its untimely cancellation fifteen years ago.

With the industry's current fascination with spin-offs and reboots, the question as to whether the director was interested at all in seeing the high school comedy come back arose.

Feig answers with an idea on how he would like to see the series if it were to be rebooted today. He states:

"Yeah, I want to do it as a musical. I think it would make a great musical, if we figured out how to do it great and not just as some blatant grab for money. It feels like the kind of thing that could be a fun, interesting, musical stage show because the emotions are so conducive to having musical numbers that are either very sad or very thought-provoking or very funny and goofy and weird. Music was such a big part of the series that it just feels very much like it could fall into that pocket. But this is something I've talked about wanting to do for years and years, and in order to do it right, you've really got to spend some time and figure it out."

Feig then follows with what would have to happen for him to ever consider bringing the series back. He doesn't feel its justified to reboot the series just for the sake of it.

"I don't want to do anything to revisit Freaks and Geeks that isn't awesome, and so in general, I personally have stayed away from it. I still haven't had that idea where you're like, Oh my God, that's it. This is gold. This is the way to do it. People are going to love this. I'm so proud of what it was, the last thing I ever want to do, or want any of us to do, is ruin the memory of it. It's like every time I would watch-especially in the '90s, they did a lot of those kind of reunion shows. You know, you became more sad [watching them] than anything. That was different because our cast is still young and vital. Now if you do it, they're all movie stars and stuff, so it probably adds a different thing. But those other shows, you'd watch and go, Oh, they look so old. You know? I didn't want to visit them now, because I liked them back then. That's probably partly why I wanted to do a reboot of Ghostbusters as opposed to doing it as a sequel. It's saying, look, let's just let that thing exist. It's awesome. So let's not suddenly try to revisit it."
