When I wrote my little tirade about Geek Love last week, some people (rightfully so) pointed out the lapse in judgement of reviewing a show that had not aired yet. Of course, that piece was meant to be a larger attack on TLC and their exploitation of certain hyper obsessive subcultures (such as beauty pageant mothers or people who like to have lots of kids), but it got me thinking that perhaps I was too hard on Geek Love. Sure, the trailer didn’t paint the best picture, but isn’t it only fair to give such a show the benefit of the doubt, especially considering the good it could do for people’s views and acceptance of Geeks and the Geek lifestyle?

I’m the first person to re-evaluate his claims and admit he was wrong and while Geek Love is not a complete waste, it does feel insincere.
