Dweebs was a short-lived CBS sitcom that premiered in 1995, arriving right in the middle of the ’90s tech boom—before most network TV really knew what to do with computer nerds. The show centered on a group of socially awkward but intellectually gifted twenty-somethings working at a wildly successful software company called "Cyberbyte" and the computer illiterate woman hired to be the new office manager. Long before The Big Bang Theory or Silicon Valley, Dweebs leaned hard into stereotypes of tech culture, cubicle life, and the gap between brains and basic social skills.
Critics didn’t quite know what to make of it, and audiences never really found it, leading CBS to pull the plug after just seven episodes. Still, Dweebs has gained a niche reputation as a proto-tech sitcom that arrived a decade too early. Watching it now feels like peeking into an alternate timeline where network TV briefly tried to understand programmers and immediately gave up. Listen as the boys dive into Dweebs pilot episode to see if this forgotten dot-comedy was ahead of its time or doomed from the start.
Starring: Farrah Forke, Peter Scolari, Stephen Tobolowsky, Corey Feldman, David Kaufman, Adam Biesk, & Holly Fulger
