PopSci's All-Time Favorite On-Screen Nerds

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming, not Comedy Central. Figured you should know about that.

A very nice list, but why was Spock overlooked???

Yeah, what 'Dan' said. I've gotten more mileage out of Spock's pseudo-philosophies than all these other nerds combined.

"Pain is in the mind, and the mind can be controlled."

Thanks for correcting the link.

what Dan said... and what about Bill Nye, MacGyver or Doogie Howser???

What about Professor Keenbean from Ritchie Rich, or Q from the James Bond storyline? Desmond Llewelyn as Q at the very least deserves to be on the list.

Surely Screech Powers is much more well known than Ugly Betty.

I was going through the list thinking "Where the hell is Doc Brown? They'd better have Doc Brown." Fortunately, he's right where he belongs, sitting at #1.

A good list, but leaving off Buckaroo Banzai is just wrong.
How much nerdier could a hero be?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ugly Betty a product of 2k6? The fact that I would rather slam my head in a car door for the duration of the show rather than watch it aside, shouldn't the show's recent conception disqualify it from an "ALL-TIME" list?

I was going through the list and all the people on it are great (although I didn't recognize a few). But there was one person I feel that should have been on the list that wasnt: STEWIE FROM FAMILY GUY!!! I mean come on, how much cooler can a nerd be?

Great list but you fotgor Reed Richards, otherwise known as Mr. Fantastic, from the Fantastic four.

I second the McGyver/Bill Nye wonder duo. Singly, they rock. Together, they could have ended world hunger, won the War on Terror and delivered us from the evil of rootkit DRM. Using nothing but a bit of wire, some superballs and a wad of gum, no less.

Where is Chloe O'Brian?

i LOVE that beaker and bunsen were in there (endearing to see as a chemist) but im dissapointed not to see the matrix cast list in there, come on how many of us female nerds can not admire trinity for saving her man, hacking, bustin up bad guys and all while wearing hot leather pants!

oh and dont forget jonny lee miller and angelina jolie from hackers

Everything about _Real Genius_ is wonderful, but Michelle Meyrink's character (Jordan) should be up there with Val Kilmer, or maybe replacing him as Model Nerd.

What about Clark Kent of Superman? I think he should have been on the list.

What about the Arnold "governator" in Twins?

What about the Arnold "governator" in Twins?

Dude, what about the professor from Gilligan's Island? And Bunsen and Beaker are way higher than Aqua Teen Hunger Force on my list...

Where is Samatha Carter, played by Amanda Tapping from Stargate SG1??? She doesn't save the world on each episode...She saves the galaxy!

Samantha Carter! Though I guess the phrases "hot babe" and "geeky nerd" are somewhat mutually exclusive.
Mr. Spock!!! Absolutely number one on the list!!! How could he be left off???

Kudos for Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters, but I believe you missed out on Dr. Benton Quest, aka Johnny Quest's dad, and, most grievously, you overlooked the ubergeek of all time: The Professor (of Gilligan's Island).

Roy Hinky (the Professor's real name) might not have been able to fix the SS MINNOW, according to some, but I prefer to think he was capitalizing on the great odds with two hot babes on a romantic tropical isle!

Agreed on Doogie, but not MacGyver, he was athletic and sort of an action hero.

"A very nice list, but why was Spock overlooked???"

B/c the whole ship/show was full of geeks.

Hey what about Dr. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap), and the greatest cartoon nerd Dexter! Then there's Bruce Banner aka The Hulk...

What about the three kids from that magnificent 80s classic called Explorers?

Whoa there. Ugly betty made the list and Not Commander DATA from Star Trek the next generation? what is up with that.

Wherever is Bill Nye the Science Guy? He's pretty geeky if I do say so myself. Which I do. You may have overlooked a few. But it is still an amazing list. Kudos.

ok wow .
aqua teen hunger force is my life

Ummm, not trying to sound rude....but it would take an extremely long time to list every single genius from T.V; you people shouldn't get so worked up over the whole thing anyway..it's an ARTICLE!!!!!!

Isn't Sherlock Holmes the prototype of onscreen (as adapted from print) Nerd? Or, a couple of millennia earlier, Odysseus?

REEL versus REAL: here's a web site on the "Greatest Nerd of All Times" which also has a link to Wikipedia comparing contrasting "Nerd" and "Geek":

"I have just found a person on the internet that I believe brings a whole new meaning to the word NERD. This is a person that is member of a group called “the Ubergeeks” and breaks all records, by far. He is additionally a very interesting person with a very special character...."

Julius Kelp (Jerry Lewis) - The Nutty Professor
Brainard (Fred MacMurray) - The Absent Minded Professor

Good list, but a few overlooked nerds off the top of my head:
• Professor Fry (Futurama)
• Professor Frink (Simpsons)
• Beast (X-Men)
• Malcolm (Malcolm in the Middle)
• Brewmeister Smith (Strange Brew)
• Data (Star Trek TNG)
• Steve Martin in The Man with Two Brains
• MacGyver
• Hermione Granger

Lest we forget, Simpson's Martin Prince reminded us all that popularity really is more important than smarts. Thanks to a simple swimming pool.

What about Marshall Flinkman (Alias)?

An amplifier takes in entrance-hall a signal of feeble amplitude and amplifies
him to an useful level for the equipment who will be there bound in issue.

When the signal point-blank is very feeble (a few milivolts, in truth less)
one will use a préamplificateur, of which the role will be to bring this
tension to a threshold relatively immune to the noise (a few volts)
Come out her of the préamplificateur will be bound s v of the amplifier of
power, who to his tower will be able to generate several zero of volts.

First electronic amplifiers were using the lamps technology, before evolving
to the bipolar transistor.
Today one finds always amplifiers to lamps, but the majority produced unities
use the transistor, bipolar or FET.
The a transistors advantages is the utilization to integrated circuits of
power, where everything the circuit of amplification is regrouped in a volume
restricts.

A differences enters technologies swigs/transistor is the possible production
of odd overtones by transistors, giving back the signal reproduces less
agreeable to the ear that the one reproduces by lamps, where these are even
overtones who will be produced.
Nevertheless spots transistors on edge (FET) divide this advantage with
lamps.

As you're growing up as a teenager, there are a number of things that you look forward to; getting your drivers

license, graduating from high school, going to your senior prom, having your first date and having your first beer.

The problem with this last one is that the drinking age and the thing you want make it something that you just can't

have yet. And still, you want it and will go to any lengths to get it.

Here's how to make delicious chocolate covered strawberries. First of all ensure that the strawberries you are intending to

use are dry, then allow them to be room temperature warm prior to making them. After the strawberries have been covered in

chocolate, put them in your refrigerator to cool, but do not store them in the fridge. Consume within 1-2 days.

Spock is Not a Nerd.

what about M from the Bond series? Gadgets are goooood.

If you were going to buy a golf club, you wouldn't walk into a store and buy the first one you see, would you? Of course

not; especially if you want to improve your golf game! You'll want to hold the club, take some practice swings, hit some

balls if the store has a practice spot, and look at the price, of course. If you are considering buying running shoes,

you need to go through a similar process and take the time to find the perfect shoe.

Go Samantha Carter from SG-1!
What about that guy who does ridiculous research for Mulder a few times each season in the X-Files? I can't remember his name for the life of me...He is very much a nerd though...

Donatello? TMNT

uh...Napoleon Dynamite?

Uh, just FYI - Doc Brown #1, Egon Spengler #2, Louis Skolnik #3 (sp?). There, I fixed your list.

Dude, Star Trek Data is an adroid and could whip the crap out of the entire crew - not so nerdy.

Ditto Spock, who handed Kirk's ass to him on a semi-regular basis.

what

And they say the internet isn't a waste of time...

And they say the internet isn't a waste of time...ho li kau

Where's the Brain from "Pinky and the Brain"?

good info. :)

If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25

mg) of VIAGRA. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a

25-mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of VIAGRA in a 48-hour period.
