Beat the Geeks

8 | en |

Beat the Geeks is an American comedy game show that aired on Comedy Central from 2001 to 2002. The show was rerun on The Comedy Network in Canada and reruns currently air on G4techTV Canada and Prime in New Zealand. On the show, contestants face off in trivia matches against "geeks" who are well-versed in music, movies, and television, as well as a fourth guest geek with an alternate area of expertise which varies from episode to episode. The object is to outsmart the geek at their own subject; as a handicap, the geeks are given questions of considerably greater difficulty than the contestants. Beat the Geeks was taped at the Hollywood Center Studios.

Reviews

CursedSlytherin This is by far the absolute best television game show on the air. It is extremely unfortunate that Comedy Central replaced its time slot with the less worthy night time talk show that now haunts the station.The show has it all: comedy, fabulous prizes, excellent trivia, and intellect. Not only does it appeal to the trivia buffs and other geeks of the world (raises hand), but it appeals to those who wish to keep the intelligent side of television alive and running.TV does not have to be brainless, and Beat the Geeks proves it.My rating: a perfect 10

OWUbear I love this show! The geeks are pompous enough, but the viewer can understand, after all, these geniuses are there for a reason. I also recently found out that the Movie Geek was, like me, born in Cincinnati, and in my opinion would be the toughest to beat. I wonder though, why was Blaine Capatch chosen to succeed J. Keith? Mr. Van Stratten sounded geeky (no offense, but it's true) and Mr. Capatch does not, although he is rude enough to the losers at the end of each round. Tiffany stands out as the cute one. If I become a Geek, it would be the Presidents geek. I also would probably laugh at the Geek who loses a medal to me or offer a witty comeback to a geek I'd challenge.

net_playm8 I think this show could be good. I love trivia games but rarely know the answers on this one because the questions are too youth-oriented, but that is not my gripe. I just don't like the way the show is put together. The host is dull, and although made up to look like a geek with short hair and black-rimmed glasses, he seems pretty dull-witted too. And the geeks! Why do the producers give them those stupid lines to say to the contestants?? I want to punch the music geek every time he opens his mouth; the only real joy I get from the show is seeing him lose. And his hair! As David Spade told Michael Bolton, "No matter how much you got in back, we all know what's goin' on up top!" If you like those SNL scripted opening monologues where fake audience members ask the hosts dumb questions, you'll like "Beat the Geeks." If you want a smart, funny game show, watch "Win Ben Stein's Money."

capthowdy350 How could you not love this game show? All of the trivia is about movies, television, music and other genres of pop culture. This is a highly entertaining show that's about entertainment! So tune in and test your knowledge, if you look at this website, you should enjoy this program!
