Honestly, am I the only one who thinks they DESERVE to die? Another great example of why the networks continue to lose marketshare…they keep doing their best to think we’re all idiots.

But what about those who want to avoid YouTube for quality reasons. YouTube videos currently do look awful by and large, and I would say this direct from NBC source is better. Sure, quality control is still control, but it seems more appropriate a reason. I've never seen anyone take a swipe at ZeFrank for asking his videos not be put up on YouTube. As for this show... no comment. Cheers. The only thing that would be smarter would be to go ahead and put the preview up on YouTube so it can be discovered there.

At least not in the same way. =) The sniping is eerily on though. that looks pretty funny. not much to do with real life, I agree, although I have known some individuals similar to the characters, they are rarely as entertaining, especially in groups.

Neither series has anything to do with real life. Nerds are more like the one in “The IT Crowd”, a TV comedy about computer staff. Neither series has anything to do with real life.

I'd probably enjoy it. It seems so TV, though! I know plenty of "nerds", and they're not at all like the guys in the trailer. Some of them are quite successful with women, too. Stuff in the trailer that should make me laugh instead just points out how out of touch the creators are. Maybe that's why I don't have a TV. Cute show. I’d probably enjoy it. It seems so TV, though!
