Name the TV NERD you actually enjoyed watching.

I agree 100% ... and if I had to be nailed down to one between the two, I'd have to go with Screech. He's a sentimental favorite!

Screech Powers, Carlton Banks, Steve Urkel, George Costanza and Cliff Clavin are all great.

Waldo isn't smart either ;)

[dandelion wine]

George Costanza and Skippy.

[db108108]

Milhouse and Martin from The Simpsons, definitely.

i enjoyed the first few seasons of "Family Matters" with Steve Urkel, before he took over the entire show and the plotlines became more and more outlandish. I remember Waldo, but not really that well.

[James]

I'll have to go with Waldo Geraldo Faldo and Steve Urkel from Family Matters, as well as Paul Pfeiffer from The Wonder Years.

BTW, who was Screech Powers? Austin's brother? :lol:

[Lady T]

Skippy..he rocked:lol: :rolleyes:

[Freakzilla]

Matthew Brock from NewsRadio. The best nerd/spaz ever.

[Brian Damage]

Cliff Clavin and Latka Gravas

I agree with Freakzilla,

Matthew Brock is, to me, the funniest nerd in TV. I know alot of "NewsRadio" fans can't stand Matthew (Andy Dick), but I think the show really would have suffered if he weren't there.

I also like Steve Urkel, though I'm only an occasional "Family Matters" fan.

[Sara Micelli]

Screech Powers-Saved by the Bell

[musicradio77]

I know one of the TV nerds:

1. Michelle Tanner
2. Stephanie Tanner
3. DJ Tanner
4. Steve Urkel
5. Animated Lizzie McGuire

[Freakzilla]

I also like Owen Kronsky from Less Than Perfection. Owen and Matthew Brock are sort of the same character. As long as Andy Dick is playing the office spaz and not Darlene Aguileara, he's not annoying to me.

[Mrgman]

Waldo

[English Rose]

I loved Steve Urkel, he was hilarious! That voice could drive you crazy though after awhile, haha.
And of course George Costanza.

I don;t consider Carlton a Nerd. I can desribe what he was but it wasn;t a Nerd

[ky24943]

Steve Urkel

[Michael72581]

Arnold Horshack (Welcome Back, Kotter)
Screech Powers (Saved By The Bell)

[howilu]

My two favorite TV nerds were Arnold Horshack and Steve Urkel.

[Unscarred]

Steve Urkel. He was a f*ing crack-up. Loved him to death. I cant believe how different he is in real life. Now theres an outstanding actor.

I also liked Screech from SBTB at times; but he could get really annoying, really quick.

And dont know if he could really be classified as a nerd, but Bud Bundy is another 'nerd' I love watching. He's hilarious.

No bud Bundy was not a nerd

[Mister Ed]

Carlton Banks and Steve Urkel (the early years).

Carlton was not a NERD on any season of Fresh Prince

[Rosslover]

Carlton Banks...
Michael Tribbiani on Joey... a smart Tribbiani?
and of course the hottest nerd Ross

[Yooch]

Mark Foster, on Step-by-step
Arvid Engen, on Head of the Class
Skippy Handelman, on Family Ties
Steve Urkel, on Family Matters
Ernie Douglas, on My Three Sons

Depending on the strict definition of 'nerd' one could argue whether it was, or was not true of the above characters. I found all of the above characters likeable individuals, people who I would have wanted among my friends as a kid, and in some instances with whom I could identify.

As for adults, I think Wilson on Home Improvement was an interesting 'nerd' type, although you could only see the top of his head from over the fence!

I wouldn't say Waldo was a nerd.He was just well goofy

[Dennis Dubois]

Steve Urkel without a doubt. I love Family Matters and everyone on the show. Urkel was very unique, daring, had courage, and always knew what to say. You actually sometimes feel sorry for him when that stuck up Laura keeps turning him down. Poor Steve. He cared so much for her and would do anything for her. However, miss-Laura only saw him for his demented looks and lifestyle.

Also, I loved watching Steve destroy things. Jaleel White was such a good actor, both in dialogue and physical comedy. It took talent to do what he did.

[TVFactFan]

Carlton Banks was not a TV NERD

[Mrs. Periwinkle]

Skippy on Family Ties.
Ralph Furley on Three's Company.

And, various others, but I'm not really sure if they qualify as "nerds" or not...

[sbeamish]

Who else for me but Stanley Beamish from Mr. Terrific?

Sometimes the writers of the show tried to portray him as an idiot, but Stephen Strimpell, who played the role, said that Stanley was naive and innocent, not stupid. (I believe he is seen, in a visual aside, working out a chess problem in at least one ep.) Without his power pill he was certainly considered a puny specimen. And normally he was pretty invisible to the ladies.

Yes, at the beginning of the episode "The Formula Is Stolen", Stanley can be seen playing "chess by mail". :)

And normally he was pretty invisible to the ladies.

Oh dear... I don't want to get started on this topic. It would need a thread on its own anyway (there would be just too much to write about). But the topic Stanley and the "ladies" is something that can really make me mad. And of course, this is a topic that is especially interesting for me, too.

Sometimes I got the impression that it's the other way around. Maybe the ladies were invisible to HIM... ;)

And remember that he tends to be very picky when it comes to "ladies". But this is all too much off topic in here.
