Nerds are taking over television, with several new shows focusing on the people who were on the receiving end of swirlies and wedgies in high school.
A few we’re looking forward to this fall:
“Chuck.” It’s about a computer geek who becomes an important government spy. If you haven’t been following all the fuss in D.C., Alberto Gonzales won’t tell the Senate whether this is a reality show.
“The IT Crowd.” A sitcom about nerds who work in the basement of a big company. Finally, a show about people who play “World of Warcraft” 18 hours a day. Hilarity ensues when someone takes down the company’s servers just for fun. (Note to IT departments: The rest of us know that’s what you’re doing.)
“The Big-Bang Theory.” A beautiful girl moves in next door to a couple of geeks who don’t know how to handle the opposite sex. Based on the true story of a man who grows up to write The Buzz for The Herald.
A new study says there’s no truth to the legend that there are more accidents under a full moon. So when you’re running away from werewolves, don’t blame it on the moon if you fall down.
