NEW YORK, NY – The preface is the all-too-familiar high school dilemma: fitting in with the cool kids. So when a pair of high school nerds become fed up with their status, and more importantly, their hopeless attempt to get dates – they did what any computer geek would do: they made one!

WEIRD SCIENCE follows high school nerds Wyatt Donnelly and Gary Wallace as they struggle with unpopularity, a dating drought and the endless torment of Wyatt’s older brother, Chett. Using Wyatt’s computer and their finely-honed skills, they create their dream girl, Lisa, whose supermodel good looks and super-genius brain are overshadowed only by her extraordinary power to grant the boys whatever they desire. Unfortunately, Lisa often takes the boys’ wishes a bit too literally, and things don’t always turn out quite as planned. However, having a beautiful, magical genie (played flawlessly by Vanessa Angel) lead to five seasons of unique and hilarious adventures for the duo.
Aside from containing every minute from the first two seasons of this hilarious hit sci-fi series, WEIRD SCIENCE: THE COMPLETE SEASONS 1&2 should thrill the show’s huge, committed fan base with a host of electrifying features including commentary from lead cast members Vanessa Angel, Michael Manasseri (Wyatt) and John Mallory Asher (Gary) and an interactive trivia game.
From the first bolt of inspiration through their high-tech attempts at wish fulfillment in dating, sports, and popularity, WEIRD SCIENCE is a comical look at Wyatt and Gary’s uproarious misadventures, and at what happens when high school gets reinvented.
