Premiere is on the TBS site. I didn't see it, but I'll have to remind my wife, she was wanting to check it out.

It's not bad. We've watched both episodes.

Fairly certain they all relinquished their geek cred and nerdishness in the first episode when they proved to so abysmal at Chess.

Hey, I'm pretty lousy at chess. I used to be passable at Go, though.

Or, for a more contemporary analogy: **** chess. Can Kasparov survive Space Alert with no damage?

Yea, if being good at Chess is a pre-req for being a nerd, I definitely don't qualify.

People who play chess are "Intellectuals." It's not a nerd game.

On a completely unrelated note, I was on the chess team in 3rd grade.

Nerds are generally defined as being intellectual. There are few games they should excel at, but chess is certainly one of them.

An Intellectual is a nerd without the social awkwardness.

Not all nerds are nerdy in the same way.

I'm not terribly offended that they are bad at chess as much I'm baffled that so many of them didn't even know how to play.

Oh, okay. Yeah, no excuse, there.
