- Without the Fluff
My name is Gordon, and I like game shows. What I don't always like is fluff. I'm more here for the game in game shows.
This is an approximation on what I considered a full episode, with the rest being fluff. Stay tuned for the data analysis at the end.
Today we Chop Deal or No Deal. Pick a case and win a prize.
Hosted by: Blaine Capatch
I believe that a game show should have more game than show. It's like the listed ingredients, the biggest comes first. That's also the way some game shows are won, the biggest comes first.
I've run into a bit of a problem where there is a bit more show than game. Sometimes there is way more show than game. So what does a game show look like without the show part? What does it look like... Without The Fluff.
The goal of the videos is to show evidence of the game portion of a show.
I've put a timer in the bottom right hand corner. This shows where cuts have been made.
We have a time calculator as well, so we can show facts like
How much time was removed.
What was the size of the game
Compression
How many moments were removed
If a game show has more game in it than show, they get award a symbolic trophy.
If not they get labeled as... Show Games.
They're great too, we're just trying to categorize things properly.
So let's find out together more about game shows.
Let's see them... Without The Fluff
love to see more beat geeks,also pawnography show is great!
what an ancient show, this one is pulling out the old memories haha.
I’m 35 i watched this show when i should have been doing my homework.
Would love more of this show!
I remember this show from when I was a kid. I remember the special Geek in some episodes, was the South Park Geek, and one called the Star Trek Geek.
Same here.
This show was the coolest.
I’d like to see more “Beat the Geeks” episode from season 1 with the “Star Trek” geek.
I wished you hadn't chopped out the geeks' witty barbs. Those were the best part... so I was glad you kept in the Music Geek's Coolio barb in the final round.
I can name all 5 of Coolio’s albums at that time.
I’m surprised this show didn’t last longer than it did. It was a really cool game show and fun to watch. It’s a bummer that you cut some of the funny banter from the geeks, but it’s still good that you shared this, because this show is never replayed anywhere.
I'm sorry I cut parts, but I had to do it for the data analysis. Otherwise it would have been taken down like the others. UA-cam considered the work "Transformative" because I am editing, critiquing, and such, and not a direct reproduction. I snuck as much of the best stuff in as I could.
Well I didn't expect today that Coolio would pass away.
Ack! I came straight here to comment!
Now do Andy Dick or something.
Neither did I, also can name 5 of his albums.
Pretty much how a modern-day game show would run nowadays without that fluff... no thanks to commercial time.
Andy Zax, music archivist and person who played the music geek, did an interview on WFMU with Tom Scharpling where they talked about the show.
Trivia bit: the first episode was filmed the day after September 11th.
Ooh that is some good trivia! Was the interview primarily about this show?
@@Japan_of_Green_Gables a good majority is about his experience on the show. He does talk about his primary job, which is music archival projects and the then recently released Woodstock 40th anniversary box set he had produced.
Wow that's a really cool set of facts.
You’re doing great and important work here. Really appreciated.
I appreciate that! I would love for this show to be brought back. If I knew some experts it might be fun to do it locally.
When I was a kid I wished one day I'd grow up to be a geek,
Now I have a film degree & a 5,000 title game collection
Great dream to have. All I've been able to do is save 2.5 billion seconds. Care to make a little trade?
I Loved Beat the Geeks, watched it everyday, love love love Blain Capatch (sp?) & I totally love that episode with Coolio, so funny, silently pitching paper balls at the Music Geek, (he deserved it). Later on the Food Network Coolio was competing in a cooking contest, He made one of his favourite of his Grandma's recipes, & he won!! Delicious. I also enjoy all the fluff, The Geeks are always witty & funny, Thanks, Gord! 💝🎸📺🎥🎶🎶🎶🎶🙋♀😸,Cheers!
I do have one other episode. It's with the original host. It's also from Hosts at Home but I think it was taken down there too.
Took me forever to remember the name of this show. I just remember it was geniuses against contestants, and I could remember what a couple of them looked like. :)
Was so hoping for a different episode that isn’t already on here.
I know what you mean. Finding this stuff is very hard.
I watched this show when I was a kid, I was 9.
Has there ever been another episode where all the geeks lost their medals?
That is a good question. I can only remember them losing them 3 medals.
A few season 1 episodes I remember. One with the south park geek & movie geek losing in geek to geek showdown. Another included the Michael Jackson geek & music geek in showdown. Another that was on UA-cam at one point, hip hop geek and same geek got blanked in showdown.
Shame on the Music Geek, doesn’t listen to Coolio? Never disrespect Coolio.
I would name all 5 of his albums easily if I was him.
Clive Anderson never presented the original BBC version of Whose line, the BBC never made a version of it.
It was originally for BBC Radio but then it went to Channel 4 for the TV adaptation from 1988-1999.
How can we watch Beat the Geeks now a days?
There are no services that show it from what I can find.
Where did you find the episode to edit it?
It was on Hosts At Home before being taken down.
Oh wow... I think I still have the full copy.

Is that host the voice of plankton from #SpongeBobSquarePants
Yes I believe so!
It’s not. Blaine Capatch didn’t voice Plankton. It was Mr. Lawrence.
@@TheGord Blaine Capatch was a writer on _MAD TV._
@@drewzuhosky6826 Mad TV was legit my favourite US sketch show. Blaine keeps touching stuff and making gold.
@@drewzuhosky6826often partnered with Patton Oswalt at the time & Oswalt is the current host of The 1% Club in the US.
Jesse where are you, I'm in love
Bruh??
Wait, did the TV Geek find my video? You were my favourite out of those guys, followed by the Movie Geek, and then the Music Geek. Just the right level of sass.
How would you hold up in today's TV line-up?
@@TheGord sadly, the internet made this show impossible to do now
@@paulthekingoftvWhat part makes it impossible now? Too many geeks, not enough medals?
@@TheGord everyone is an "expert"
@@paulthekingoftv Just get some contestants from Mississippi, Louisiana, or Arkansas. They outlawed experts there long ago for being "nerds".
thank you. i HATE the fluff of these games.
Put the "fluff" back in this is unwatchable
Sorry, I think you're on the wrong channel TheMuscleDummyLoserShow.
Agreed what a waste
@@kayak0055 It's also impossible to find this show too such a bummer, tried to show my girlfriend this video, stuff makes no sense now, wack
