I thought Marshall from Alias had this sewn up, but having started watching Stargate Atlantis (after watching all of Season 1 in a weekend), i have to say i now think Rodney from Stargate Atlantis can give Marshall a run for his money ! Rodney is a great character

Willow, hands down.

Yeah, but Willow isn't on TV anymore, and she was only a "nerd" the first few seasons.

My vote goes to Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) on THE O.C.

Ain't no nerd tappin' this ass -->

A recent addition to my memory banks, but I'll go with Bill Haverchuck.

Arvid from Head of the Class
Paul Pfeiffer from The Wonder Years
Millhouse

Steve Urkel from Family Matters.

Non-fictional --

TIE between Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman:

Absolutely.

I didn't see anything in the original post that said that only current shows should be included, or that the "nerd" needs to be one from beginning to end of the program.

I'd say Adam is the bigger nerd after them showing a tour of his house. He would fit in quite well with Other.

Plus, Jamie is ex-military and could take you down pretty quickly. Not many nerds have that skill.

more additions:

Skippy from Family Ties

Arnold Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter

Screech from Saved by the Bell

"Best NERD on TV" has turned to "Name NERD on TV"

Bo Bice

was thinking mainly current Nerds

Then it should say, Best nerd on Television Today.

classic nerd is Screech, but for a current nerd Id have to pick Grissom from CSI

I like the last 2 of those. I nominate Bill from Freaks & Geeks.

Bob Saget

Me too.

Bob Saget? Not after his appearance in THE ARISTOCRATS.

Dwight Schrute

For shear nerdy awkwardness I've got to go with Brian Krakow.



"No. No, absolutely not. It's not- the phonics manual does not cover that type of situation!"
