Dweebs

This was one of those shows that didn't get a chance. Think of Big Bang Theory before its time. Quirky, socially awkward, but brilliant nerds meet a girl.

Peter Scolari's character is kind of a Bill Gates who started a company in his garage. Their business takes off and they have to get an office and secretary. They have brains (and now money!), but don't know how to relate outside of other nerds. Warren Mosbey (Scolari's character) has trampoline in his office, which he would jump on while thinking.

Unfortunately this just didn't take off back in 1995, when most people didn't even know what the internet was yet. Also, I agree with others that the title didn't appeal to non-geeks.

It says something that I still recall the series from over 15 years ago that only had 11 episodes.

I too adored this show to the extent that I *still* pine for it. The characters were funny, the scripts were goods, the acting was great. I think the main problem was that no-one wanted to watch a show called "Dweebs".

I would love to get my hands on some episodes for, at the time, I didn't know to record them. Sorely missed.

I loved this show and I was so sorry to find out that it was canceled. The networks don't give shows time to find their nitch sometimes. Seinfield, Family Ties and a lot of other shows weren't big ratings getters at first but someone with vision allowed them time to find huge audiences. This show would have found an audience too but the network had no vision.

I have sorely missed Dweebs over the past years. Unfortunately I didn't tape it so I can't update my memories. However I'm not so sure that the humor would be as appreciated in today's market. The very best scene ending ever, from the fist episode: the VCR flashing 12:00, is no longer so appropriate. Other scenes are also fondly remembered but I do wish the episodes were available to purchase. Anyone know how we can encourage this?

We tried to get friends to watch the series but unfortunately it was up against "Doctor Who" which was extremely popular with that group. Possibly one of the reasons the Dweebs didn't take off.

I loved this show but only managed to see 7 out of the 10 episodes made since CH4 only showed it once and at a ridiculous time of morning so I'd already missed the beginning of the series before I realised it was on.

I recorded 6 of the episodes I saw (which I just dug out of storage and copied onto DVD for posterity ;^) )

I've managed to watch the first episode on YouTube but it's the only one there and I can't find any other episodes anywhere else so there's still two episodes I've never seen.

I'd love to get my hands on copies of episodes 1-4 so I could have the full series available, better still they'd release it on DVD but I can't see that happening anytime soon.
