"Kim Kelly is My Friend" is the fourth episode of Freaks and Geeks. It was written by Mike White and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter. It was intended to originally air on NBC on November 6, 1999 but the studio replaced the episode with "Tests and Breasts" due to concerns of "violent content". Though it was aired on some west coast stations on April 30, 2000, its official airdate wouldn't be until its September 5, 2000 showing on the FOX Family Channel.
[edit] Synopsis
Kim Kelly's friend Karen bullies Sam, writing "Pygmy Geek" on his locker. Sam doesn't take to the label kindly and finds himself in an argument with Neal over who is "geekier". Kim Kelly apparently tries to bury the hatchet with Lindsay by inviting her over for dinner, but the evening with the Kelly parents goes from bad to worse and almost escalates into violence. When Lindsay suggests that Kim lay low at the Weir house, the Weirs find themselves in for a long night.
