Dweebs

I know Dweebs didn't last more than a month or so. Yes, I fully agree that it was somewhat corny and not real sharp, but I have to admit-- it was hilarious. So few comedies make me laugh any more. They are too smooth and slick. Dweebs came buy it's laughs honestly.Too bad it was never given a chance, I think it really would have caught on.

Despite the shortness of its run (only eleven episodes were made) this show appealed to me from the outset. There is just a certain something about it that makes me laugh every time I see it. Whether it is the fact I know a lot of people like 'the guys', or I work in a similar environment I am not sure. But I highly recommend this to anyone. (And hope - at some point - they release the whole series on video!)

Ha-ha...I forgot about the vulture!!! Yes it probably didn't help viewer-ship that the name of the show was "Dweebs", though you'd think there were enough of them (us?) out there who could relate to make the show a prime-time contender.

In my home the word "mulch" to describe drab, unimaginative attire is still used to this day, 12 years after it was modeled so well on the show by Carl (Stephen Tobolowsky?), one of the programmers. Man, they were cruel to him.... Not that he couldn't dish it out as well: "Death called--he wants his outfit back..." (you'd have to know Vic) That these and other quips became part of our comic dialog is a testament to Dweebs' appeal as a comedy; and we'd eagerly watch those few episodes again if they became available.

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 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.
