As nellorat has mentioned, we are chugging our way through catching up on The Big Bang Theory, which is unremittingly hilarious and which, unlike some works about geeks I could name, actually appears to be written and run by people who have actually met geeks and understand them. (It gets a few details wrong--for instance, Warner Brothers cartoons are very much at the heart of geek culture--but it get so much so right.)

I was particularly glad to discover SheldonShirts, which is a wonderful example of the type of thing geeks do when they love something: documentation of the marvelous array of t-shirts worn by the show's main characters, Sheldon and Leonard, along with some additional documentation (Wollowitz's belt buckles, the shirt-folding board Sheldon used in "The Bad Fish Paradigm"). Enthusiasm at its finest!

Saw my first two episodes of this on the plane on the way to the US. Several lines made me LOL (Sheldon in the Engineering lab: "Greetings, oompa-loompas of science")
