	Beat the Geeks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beat the Geeks is a comedy game show which aired on Comedy Central in the United States from 2001 to 2002 (reruns of the program also played on The Comedy Network in Canada).
		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 geek whose area of expertise varies from things such as Comic Books to Star Wars.
		The object is to outsmart the geek at their own subject, a task made much easier, considering that the geeks are given questions of considerably greater difficulty.

	Geek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geek may not always have the same meaning as the term nerd (see nerd for a discussion of the disputed relation between the terms).
		Most geeks are adept with computers and treat hacker as a term of respect, but not all are hackers themselves - and some who are in fact hackers normally call themselves geeks anyway, because they (quite properly) regard `hacker' as a label that should be bestowed by others rather than self-assumed.
		In the past, the image of geeks has almost always been associated with someone who was assumed to be more intelligent and educated than the general public due to the notion that many of them were intellectually talented.

	Review: Beat the Geeks
		After each geek has been faced, the toss-up round ends and still, the lowest scorer is eliminated.
		Prizes could be tailored to each geek, such as a role in a slasher film for the movie geek, or a "Seinfeld" landmarks tour for beating the TV geek in the bonus.
		In season two, more staging was added around the set, some stylized "G" logos were sprinkled around, the geeks were given colored robes, the graphics were spiced up, and the contestant podii were made sleeker and no longer had extension cords protruding from them.

	HMFY - TV Review: Beat The Geeks
		The only humorous bit about this show is watching these self-proclaimed "geeks" act all holier-than-thou spouting their knowledge and then watching them fumble when they are told they're wrong.
		Every time a geek is challenged, they have to say something insulting and witty, only it keeps coming out as them looking unimaginative and lame.
		And I've come to the conclusion that the people who came up with the idea, the host, the "geeks", the contestants, the audience, and anyone who is a fan should be put through a wood chipper ala Fargo, and then used as chum so that we could get some use out of them.

		"Beat the Geeks" is a one-of-a-kind game show designed to allow the true "geek" to defend his wealth of knowledge, as ordinary contestants summon the courage to challenge the Geeks in their self-proclaimed area of Uber-knowledge.
		For the "Beat the Geeks" challengers, the mission is to take the Geeks back in their rightful place and win a variety of prizes.
		For the Geeks, it's a shot at fame and a chance to prove that the time spent down in the basement by themselves was well worth it.

	The W -- Beat The Geeks
		C) BTG 2.0 is actually a bit better; they've updated the graphics a tad, the first round is actually watchable from a quiz POV, and the Three Geek-migos are still there.
		I think short-haired Music Geek was gone after prolly 10-15 eps, when Andy took over; the reason why you saw Shorty enough times is due to the sensation of taping shows in order, not having a returning champion so that you can air them out of order.
		The short hair music geek might've been too busy with his dayjob (if Marc's any indication, the geeks all still have their dayjobs) to continue with the show.

		An added plus of using real-life geeks in the show, is the snobbism that often naturally is associated with know-it-alls.
		Not only do the Geeks get to shame the contestants with their superior knowledge, but they also get to hurl insults at the players when they get answers wrong.
		The show's three resident experts are Paul Goebel as the TV Geek, Andy Zax as the Music Geek and Marc Edward Heuck as the Movie Geek.

	Diary of a Tuber
		Two contestants engage in a trivia contest with the geeks, fighting over some medals the stars wear around their necks.
		The music geek is Andy Zax, the one with the frizzy long hair.
		Her duties include taking the medals from around the geek's necks and walking them across the stage to the contestants; announcing a line or two before the final showdown; and kissing the men on the cheek when they get one right.

		The Geeks get a chance to show off by spouting facts relating to the questions that are asked.
		During the second round, the two remaining contestants go head-to-head with the Geeks and Guest Geeks are even worth bonus points to encourage the contestant to try and outsmart them.

		There's also a bonus geek - tonight, for instance, it's Simpsons Geek (which'd be a great challenge.) There are trivia questions and an "ultimate showdown" at the end in which the last standing contestant takes on a geek of his or her choice, one on one.
		While the geeks attempt to be funny by taking jabs at the contestants, they're extremely scripted and lack any verve.
		Gameplay is average, the host is annoyingly "post college hip alternative," and the geeks themselves were knowledgable but incredibly irritating with their forced "I'm smarter than you" chatter after each challenge.

		The geek questions are hard-core to the bone: name Hanks' first 4 films, and their directors.
		You watch to see the Geeks conquer them with the vast amounts of trivia lodged in their brains, or to see the geeks cast down by missing a small detail.
		On the quality of the band Styx: "They should have called 'em Stux." Tiffany Bolton is the co-host, who does bits with the geeks, like when she, with a disgusted look, revealed that the TV Geek wears a bib, because his post-game snacking ruined his robe last season.

		Beat the Geeks is a game show where contestants must match their knowledge against the geeks.
		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.

	Eternal Twilight V.2.5 --
		Beat the Geeks is a game show that originally aired in 2001 that had contestants challenge a "geek" that specialized in their own category (such as: T.V., music, movies, and other pop culture related stuff).
		The original host of that show was J.Keith van Straaten, and the co-host for both seasons 1 and 2 was Tiffany Bolton.
		In the second season that aired in 2002, J.Keith was replaced by Blaine Capatch and since then Comedy Central shows BTG re-runs every few months or so and there has been live tours across the country.

		And the "geeks" were just so damn endearing -- fat, long-haired, arrogant SOBs who laughed with pleasure whenever exposing the pop culture ignorance of the masses.
		And the geeks even stuffed their faces between breaks, which for money is always a sign of someone who doesn't give a shit what the beautiful people think.
		That, and there was always a geek who knew that Episode #34 was the one where Spock had the beard.

		i gather Beat The Geeks is over, i liked the first season a great deal, and feel that although i could get used to Blaine, i prefered J. Keith, plus the other changes to the show basically made it a shell of its original fun.

		I could never beat the movie geek playing along, but almost always beat the music geek.
		I personally detested the short haired (I originally typed non-long-haired, then realized that short meant the same thing) music geek; he wasn't as knowledgable, plus he was just a nerdy geek.
		At least the other guys were kind of cool in their geek ways.

		With the Comedy Central quiz show "Beat the Geeks" putting movie, music and TV know-it-alls in the spotlight, these people may finally earn recognition for their obsessions.
		Geek may have started as a derogatory term, but it’s slowly morphing into a badge of honor.
		Most geeks say the only thing that separates them from the rest of the world is that their hobbies aren’t as widely accepted as those of their peers.

		The geeks did them all a favor and got them fired with a years pay, instead of lets say an Enron where they are facing YEARS of jail time.
		The geeks, should definetly have handled it differently, by sending the email to everyone they may even have breached their own security policy.

		Death at the hands of Troma is what you get when you “Beat the Geeks.” At least, that’s what filmmaker Paul J. Salamoff (Unbakeable) got when he trampled the Horror Geek and arose victorious on Comedy Central’s game show.
		Apparently, a friend had referred the folks over at “Beat the Geeks” to Paul and they were quick to call up the make up effects artist.
		Holding his own against the Geeks (avoiding the Music Geek like the plague) and fighting it out tooth and nail with one of the other contestants, Salamoff found himself going into the final round where he challenged his arch-nemesis — the Horror Geek.
