@@dicloniusgames Cable shows only air long enough to have enough episodes banked to ensure that the show is able to air in reruns. The show moved from a 7:30 pm ET time slot to 5 pm ET in the fall of 2002, just before ending its run. It later aired in reruns daily before 9 am ET in early 2003 and finally on weekend mornings at 7 am in the fall of 2003.
When I lived in L.A. I saw him constantly at New Beverly Cinema (long after this show ended). I actually got intimidated by his presence because I loved this show so much when I was a twenty-something.
This game show would definitely work today. TV, Movie, & Music geeks should be he main geeks. Here are some geek ideas - Anime Geek - Pro Wrestling Geek - Video Game Geek - Game Show Geek - Comic Book Geek
Maybe not “TV” per se, considering how big streaming services have become in comparison since the 2000’s, but they could still be referred to as the “Video Series” geek or something else that can account for both mediums.
5:06 btw, I rented his recommendation of a "really scary movie" Suspiria. It wasn't scary in the slightest. Like not at all tbh. I was heavily disappointed. I got it based off his recommendation and 👎. I made sure it was Dario Argento's 1977 film and not the 2018 remake... Still wasn't scary.
Did the math on Season 1 scoring, & the maximum amount of points one contestant could have is 60 after Round 1, 130 after the Challenge Rounds, & grand total of 280 after the Geek Qualizer.
From Russia With Love that is the famous James Bond movie that’s played by the legendary Sean Connery and he was the best legendary actor that ever played James Bond in the history of movies
Movie Geek you remind me I still have a lot to learn about Robin Williams. But I will say on a plus side for The Cougar Express… I knew more than two Robin Wright films.
Future episodes that should be uploaded. Anything with the Horror Geek, anything with The Simpsons Geek, TV Geek doesn’t know a geekqualizer answer, but the movie geek does, Lloyd Kaufman guest stars, KISS Geek, Planet of the Apes Geek.
Ah yes, when Dana Gould popped up as the "Planet of the Apes Geek". I still remember the Movie Geek being challenged at the end and said, "You know; I wished you should've picked the Planet of the Apes Geek. 'Cause he would be going, 'Geek has killed jerk! Geek has killed jerk!" (And the other geeks join in.) "'Geek has killed jerk! Geek has killed jerk!'".
The weirdest part about the Geek Off was the fact that the challenger’s category has 42 films while the Geek’s side only had 17. So had Scott got 18 Robin Williams films then the geek would have surrendered his medal by default.
@@drewzuhosky6826 But some geek offs have been kind of fair like the Michael Jackson Geek episode where the challenge was against the Movie Geek. The challenger’s category was movies that Keanu Reeves has appeared in & the geek had movies that Griffin Dunne has appeared in. The ratio was 34 for the challenger to 31 for the geek.
I recall one where the contestant rattled off 19 answers naming movies with umpteen sequels. Turn to the geek needing an impossible 20, he named a few and then cussed out the contestant 😅
@@drewzuhosky6826 not being geeky enough that doesn’t make any sense he had the look and he was funny in my opinion my funnier than the guy who replaced him
How & why did this show not last more than two seasons? It was great! If I was picked to be a Geek on this show, I would either have been the Jazz Geek or the SNL Geek.
I wonder what became of the kickstarter project to revive Beat the Geeks.Adam Nedeff said he wants to be the game show geek if BTG is revvied. I would love to go on this show so I can take hin on. He blocked me from his game show author adam nedeff pasge.
True even though in the Geek off he would've gotten the medal had he named 13 movies that Robin Williams was in. The geek level has only 11 or 12 titles.
Keep those Beat the Geeks episodes coming.
I loved this show. Me and my wife used to watch this all the time. Thanks for posting!
You're welcome! Will eventually post more...please subscribe so you don't miss it!
Tiffany bolton did some late night cinemax features
this game show is the tits...not only is it entertaining but the level of trivia people posses are outstanding
Blaine was more fitting as the host. I miss this show. Those geeks were insanely knowledgeable, they always amazed me.
Both seasons of Beat The Geeks were excellent
How did this show never keep going after only 2 seasons?
@@dicloniusgames Cable sadly has a shelf life especially game shows.

@drewzuhosky6826 lol so you're the beat the geeks geek?
Ive never heard of this show its quite enjoyable thanks for uploading and archiving it
Subscribed and hoping for more best the geeks 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Yes! I been lookin for this for ages literally posted on reddit just yesterday and I search and here it is. Please keep em coming
Excellent, I love this Beat The Geeks game show!!
Man, I used to see this show a lot as a teen! Many of those geeks are hilarious! Please upload more.
Such a great show. Thanks for these uploads, Adam!
You're very welcome!
more please! loved this and pretty much all trivia shows :)
Yes more BTG’s!!!!
Movie geek was the toughest of the 3 to beat, IMO
When I lived in L.A. I saw him constantly at New Beverly Cinema (long after this show ended).
I actually got intimidated by his presence because I loved this show so much when I was a twenty-something.
That guy was a good host.
More of these plz!
This game show would definitely work today. TV, Movie, & Music geeks should be he main geeks.
Here are some geek ideas
- Anime Geek
- Pro Wrestling Geek
- Video Game Geek
- Game Show Geek
- Comic Book Geek
I know a few people that could fill those spots today
Maybe not “TV” per se, considering how big streaming services have become in comparison since the 2000’s, but they could still be referred to as the “Video Series” geek or something else that can account for both mediums.
Maybe Jackbox Geek for the current day.
MMA Geek would be a possibility, too...
I would love to be The Game Show Geek.😃

They need to bring back beat the geeks
Did they even use the playboy geek?😂
Never seen this episode, until now. Nice!
Glad you found it! Please subscribe for more Beat the Geeks!
@@hostsathome7390 Hope to See a Season 1 Episode with The Simpsons Geek.
@@XJCherokeeBear Or the Season 2 Episode with the Wrestling Geek.
Or season 2 episode with the Star Trek Geek.
Did the math on Season 1 scoring, & the maximum amount of points one contestant could have is 60 after Round 1, 130 after the Challenge Rounds, & grand total of 280 after the Geek Qualizer.
Thanks Math geek
@@piddles11 I wouldn’t consider myself one actually, I just love game shows & understanding the scoring system.
I’d like to see more “Beat the Geeks” episodes featuring the “Star Trek” geek.
The past comes flooding back. A bit harder to play along now and have to answer only with info that could be known at the time.
From Russia With Love that is the famous James Bond movie that’s played by the legendary Sean Connery and he was the best legendary actor that ever played James Bond in the history of movies
A playboy geek.
I wouldn't shake his hand 😂
Movie Geek you remind me I still have a lot to learn about Robin Williams. But I will say on a plus side for The Cougar Express… I knew more than two Robin Wright films.
You are very correct on the Robin Williams part because you would need 18 films in 15 seconds to guarantee beating the geek for real.
@@ericzubyk2329 And i wonder how many films had Robin made at the time of this taping. It was more than 18.
@@actownsend7288 Williams had 42, Wright Penn had only 17
@@ericzubyk2329 Those are impressive resumes
Sound off with what geek subject you’d make a great special guess geek for. Me, it’d be Transformers
How long ago was this on TV? This looks like late 90s to early 2000s to me. Heck, G4 should've done something like this when they were popular.
2001-2002 & they did air reruns on G4 in Canada.
From Rusia with Love is also the name of the title song from the movie. I wonder if they would have given it to him if he said music.
Trying to find the Beats The Geeks Star Trek episode, if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
I would not have gotten “Big Wave Dave’s.”
Why in the world did Paul Goebel come up with "Bustin' Loose"? That show wasn't in 1993.
“Bustin’ Loose” was around in the 1970s.
Future episodes that should be uploaded. Anything with the Horror Geek, anything with The Simpsons Geek, TV Geek doesn’t know a geekqualizer answer, but the movie geek does, Lloyd Kaufman guest stars, KISS Geek, Planet of the Apes Geek.
Oh yes, I remember.

TV geek is a gangster lmao the host got all upset at the trailer trash comment lol
Scott did good. 😀👍
The 4 condoms of trivia lmfao
2:50
More eps please
I would love to know the current value of the $5000 grand prize. You could probably get it all for twenty bucks at a thrift store.

Usually, the geek's categories were to be more challenging, so that's shocking.

@@marcpower4167 was the category umpteen sequels?
With The Original Music Geek
The long haired music geek is superior
The geeks are all hilarious
"Playboy Geek" is cringey 20 years ago, much less today. Who wants to admit they know the identity and measurements of Miss February 1968?
God I loved this show ,
I always thought the first season of this show was better because Jay Keith was a better host
The producers dismissed him for not being geeky enough.
@@drewzuhosky6826 not being geeky enough that doesn’t make any sense he had the look and he was funny in my opinion my funnier than the guy who replaced him
@hostsathome7390 Whatever happened to the season 2 episodes w/ Blaine Capatch?! Why'd u delete both?!
They were taken down by Paramount. Even the Michael Jackson geek episode on another channel. I do hope a solution comes around.
12:14 wasn`t scott leading?
No Dawn was leading, they somewhat had the scoreboard the other way round for some odd reason.
I knew it was Dante’s Peak, I’ve seen the movie.
Do the contestants get to keep the medals whether the contestant win or lose the bonus round or get eliminated in Round 2?
If runner up, no if winner maybe?
nice
You should have J. Keith Van Stratten for Hosts at Home
Id be too embarrassed to admit to being the Playboy geek
You Won $5,000 Grand Prize!!!!
@@smashwhammy Yep.
@@smashwhammy Stop!!!!
@@smashwhammy Is it too late to actually beat the movie geek in Robin Wright appearances because I know the other titles she was in.
How & why did this show not last more than two seasons? It was great! If I was picked to be a Geek on this show, I would either have been the Jazz Geek or the SNL Geek.
Game Show Geek would be mine since you can't say Movie TV or Music geek.
I would've loved to be The Anime Geek.
I can see why they replaced Michael Jolly with Andy Zak for Music Geek, Michael seems boring from what I'm seeing in this episode.
Did his tenure end faster than a Ramones song? Also it's pronounced Zax.
He's still better than Michael Farmer from season 2, at least.
I wonder what became of the kickstarter project to revive Beat the Geeks.Adam Nedeff said he wants to be the game show geek if BTG is revvied. I would love to go on this show so I can take hin on. He blocked me from his game show author adam nedeff pasge.
Should’ve pick the geek he beat
True even though in the Geek off he would've gotten the medal had he named 13 movies that Robin Williams was in. The geek level has only 11 or 12 titles.
Just upload the show
What about the sex starved playboy geek???
Do you have any more I’ve got a secret what’s my line to tell the truth card sharks with bill or bob Hollywood squares please
