I think it's funny that in the new NBC show, Chuck there is a group called the Nerd Herd. I imagine they got the name from Big Brother, but it fits. I hear the show is supposed to be funny, and I'll give it a try if for no reason than that they used a Big Brother phrase in the show. It airs Monday nights at 8, and it piqued my interest.

You startled me. I thought for a second Maggie had somehow landed on NBC. What a nightmare.

I've seen the previews for this, and it's funny.

I agree, it sounds funny. But Dar, I warn ya, you're gonna have at least 20 people post here how that term didn't originate with BB, whether it really did or didn't lol. I had heard Booyah on Young & Restless, found it funny, posted about it, and then came the onslaught of everyone telling me several places it actually orginated from. I didn't even claim it did start with Jess lol. I just thought it was funny hearing it and thought I'd share.

I used to say Booyah back in the late 70s whenever I made a big jump with my BMX bike, and I think I got it from some tv show or movie, so it's been around.
I never put in my post that Nerd Herd originated with BB, I wrote that they're using a phrase from BB...it was used on BB was it not? Hehe.

Darc, as closely as I follow BB, I never made the connection...lol My first thought was they were making a funny out of Geek Squad.
Guess I was ready for this season to end. I'm not commenting about whether I liked this group of HGs or the outcome, but just that I was ready for it to be over.

Darc, I know you didn't say that the "nerd herd" originated with BB, that was my point. I didn't say Booyah originated with BB either. But that didn't stop everyone from telling me I was wrong anyway lol. I just thought it was funny when I heard it on Young & Restless.

The phrase Nerd Herd is also in the 1987 movie "Can't buy me love". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092718/ Click here and scroll down to the Quotes section and they got quotes from the movie including that one

Blue, I think you hit the nail on the head. It's a definite play on Geek Squad.

I'm aware it's a play on Geek Squad, but with millions of choices, they went with Nerd Herd.
They may or may not have gotten the name from BB, but since it's using a phrase that is part of BB history, I thought I'd at least give the show a chance.
I watched it and I liked the first ep. I like my comedies on tv this way much better than "sitcoms." Shows like Eureka, Burn Notice, and even the Stargates and Xena's all have comedy without being a laugh track joke sale.

NERD HERD was originally used by Howie due to the Movie Revenge of the Nerds.1984

ogre used to hollar it out in the show. That movie was so big , i think it became used in other shows
