Weird Science - Seasons 1 & 2 DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJ · 12-31-2007, 02:52 AM

One of the coolest sitcoms will be coming to DVD for the first time ever! Weird Science, the popular TV sitcom of the '90s based on the classic '80s John Hughes film of the same name, is indeed now on DVD with the complete first and second seasons from A&E Home Video! Wyatt Donnelly and Gary Wallace are two regular high school nerds struggling with unpopularity, a serious dating drought, and the endless torment of Wyatt's older brother Chett. Therefore, they use computer skills to create their dream girl Lisa, whose supermodel good looks and super-genius brain are overshadowed only by her extraordinary power to grant the boys whatever they desire, but Lisa often takes the boys' wishes a bit too literally, and things don't always turn out as planned. It is a '90s take on I Dream of Jeannie, except Lisa is not dressed as a genie but as a super-model!

The series stars Michael Manasseri as Wyatt Donnelly, the smart, cautious and shy person who girls like to be around. John Asher as Gary Wallace, a poor student, slacker, but yet a geek who is always after woman but they are never after him. Vanessa Angel as Lisa, the hot and smart girl the boys created that will grant their wishes. And Lee Tergesen as Chett Donnelly, Wyatt’s brother who is a military school graduate.

It would be nice to see the last 3 seasons of this show get released to DVD. It doesn't seem to be happening any time soon though... too bad- "Weird Science" is a fun '80s movie and this is definitely one of the better TV shows based on a movie out there.
