Goodtime nerdy humor. Fun references, clips and skits for geeky comic book, sci-fi types. Set in the quick paced venue of former entertainment show "The Soup" never drones on and moves into new material quickly. Its witty and sometimes campy so its not for everyone. Will is a surprisingly good host with a jovial sense of humor. I love the recurring angry Skeletor Twitter segments. There is continually lambasting of deserving Scy-Fy Channel fodder and shameless plugging of guests and advertisers. Giggle along if you have on-demand cable features you may still be able to pick up a couple episodes. I definitely hope they have a season 2!
... View MoreThe biggest plus here is that THE WIL WHEATON PROJECT is, at its core, brutally HONEST. There's none of the candy-ass sugar-coating one often finds on a show of this kind: Wheaton calls them as he sees them. Nor does he tread Lightly when it comes to the crap doled out on a daily basis by The SyFy Channel itself- the very entity that has given us this show. (One wonders if some Executive(s) might take some of Wheaton's remarks to heart and set about revamping the channel into something more worthwhile...) (Not likely, I grant you, but you never know...) Besides its honesty, THE WIL WHEATON PROJECT (BECAUSE of its brutal Honesty) is laugh-out-loud hilarious. Don't miss it- it might not last long...
... View MoreNote...I am: not a full geek or nerd; over 60+ years; not his mother. That said...I follow Wil Wheaton because I find his attitude refreshing. Thus, I watch his new show with high expectations. To date he has met and exceeded my high expectations. His timing is spot on. Innuendos, facial expressions...all a pleasant surprise Wheaton is that good. The fact that he does it with such ease is amazing. Granted, I do have issues with the gory stuff, sex, and graphic-I-cringe curse words, (in context as they may be). Its not my generation. Old hippie here. There are things that I feel are excessively gross. Again, Not my generation. In context, there are very popular televisions shows with as much if not more gore and sex than what's on the "Wil Wheaton Project." I don't watch them, but I watch Wheaton.I set my alarm so when I doze off, I can wake up to watch his show. I don't do that for any show except for "Extant" the other night. If You want a look at a part of this Earth's culture, then "The Wil Wheaton Project" will give you a glimpse that will make you laugh, if your are conscious, as well as give you something(s) to think about. I say, Watch More Wheaton!
... View More::In my best Captain Picard Voice:: "Shut Up Wesley!" Why don't we have a Sheldon Cooper project? Is that too much to ask? I mean it's not that bad I guess.. there's other things you can be watching that are funnier tho.. like Big Bang Theory re-runs, Classic Star Trek episodes, Late Night TV Info-mercials, a blank screen... etc.I came. I saw. I Wheatoned.. and I fell asleep 20 minutes into the show.. but thankfully I could watch the rest of the episode on my PC.. which afterwords that hard disc space quickly became utilized for more important things like.. empty space. I guess I rated it a 5 because it is tolerable to watch.. as long as you are strapped in a chair with one of those medieval torture devices that are used to keep your eye-lids held open and big stocky medieval looking guys are threatening to pummel you with a mace or some type of incendiary device if you do not make it to the very end of the episode. "Shut Up Wesley!"
