Project G.e.e.K.e.R. (1996–1997) User Reviews

Goofy seriousness

[dynamite_xi · 1 January 2003]

I was in fifth grade when this show was on the air. It was in the waning years of Saturday-morning cartoons, when networks like Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon were turning cartoons from holy, Saturday-centered gems into common, everyday travesties.

However, even in the midst of the downfall of Saturday-morning cartoons, I remember G.e.e.K.e.R. This cartoon took place in the future. An evil CEO wants to take over the world, and his creation, Project G.K.R. (an artificial superhuman), will lead him to victory.

However, Noah (a talking t-rex, thanks to Brad Garrett) and Lady Becky MacBeth (a rebellious, mostly bald-headed woman) steal the Project and set it loose. It turns out that G.K.R. is nothing more than a drooling, goofy,superhuman geek (hence, his name - "Geeker"). Geeker tags along with Becky and Noah throughout the series.

The show was creative, because it was action-packed with cartoony humor, a la Geeker. Imagine Stimpy from "Ren and Stimpy" in the world of "Blade Runner". G.e.e.K.e.R. was a pretty cool show. Too bad no one else remembers it.

Eight stars out of ten.

Genius insanity

Geeker was an awesome show when it was on, it's a travesty that it never was awarded a second season. Why hasn't it been put on DVD even? There ARE people that remember this show, and I can only hope a release is in the cards for this hilarious show.

As it says, GeeKeR was a futuristic goof that had a very unusual powers, and all he really wanted throughout the 13 episodes was to be more human. Just wait till you see him sprout pinky fingers all over his body! Noah was my favorite character from the show however, the large, breath mint loving, red-cap wearing, T-rex just ruled when he was on screen. I still wonder what kind of possibilities these characters had in them if there had been another season.

One of the true classics

There are a few cartoons which this one reminds me of in terms of style of humour: these ranged from Earthworm Jim, to Sam & Max, to Samurai Pizza Cats.

The style of the show was one of rampant randominity and chaos, where things happened for no apparent reason, but made sense in a very strange, disturbing sort of method if you warped logic enough so that they 'kind of make sense but it'll give you a headache to think about it' type idea.

G.e.e.K.e.R. himself was the highlight of this however; originally he was designed to be a superhuman, capable of super powers which would make superman look normal. Thing was... he was defective. He was stolen before his brain was added, and the entire series is based upon the concept that he has incredible powers, which manifest seemingly at random and he has no clue how to control these. Which tends to lead to the most bizarre of situations in all episodes, save one which won't be explained as it's too large of a plot point.

Simple fact is GeeKeR was one of the few truly great cartoons, was under-recognized and well worth watching, especially to those whom fall into the category of being highly intelligent, though possibly slightly insane.

This show combined random humor, sci-fi and talking dinosaurs. Waking up in a closet and running to our tiny living room slash bedroom to watch cartoons at six o'clock in the morning was made many times better for me being able to bask in the glow of a show as wonderful as this one. I award it a thousand points and may it find its way into heaven, no matter how many throats it has to slit along the way.

An Amazing Gem in the Cartoon Gene Pool

[FrightenedHippie · 23 October 2005]

I remember this show back when I was in the 4th grade. I remember watching it every morning with my dad, who liked it just as much as me. I had my mom record for me so I could watch it whenever I wanted. Geeker was a great show with a wholesome story line to it.

Despite the occasional fantasy violence, Geeker told a message of protecting the environment" Moloch, the bad guy, dumped trash everywhere*, racism *doesn't matter if you're a dino or a human*, as well as fair treatment of people with disabilities *Becky had a robotic arm and Geeker was kinda....special...for a character like him during this time.* Geeker was an amazing show, becoming the most top rated cartoon in CBS's Saturday Morning history. After one successful season, the federal government became strict about TV violence and non educational programming, so Geeker had to go off the air.

To this day I still enjoy Geeker and his amazing adventures. Watching Geeker brings me back to a time where Saturday morning was fun,and not an extension of school, as much of t Saturday morning lineup is today.

Busy and weird, but very memorable

This was my favorite cartoon in the fifth grade. One of the last Saturday morning cartoons that interested me.

What I've noticed about Lady MacBeth is that she is almost the twin of Leela from Futurama: The long, high placed ponytail, the computerized contraption on the forearm, buxom figure, freakish facade (Lady Macbeth is bald except for the ponytail and Leela with the one eye) and the no-nonsense attitude. G.e.e.k.e.r. also looked like the animated version of Jim Carey's character in Dumb and

Dumber: The Animated Series.

Great Show!!

This was a really great show. When this show was aired back in 1996, I just couldnt wait to see another episode on every Saturday morning. Entertaining and exciting all rolled into one in every episode made. This was a truely one of kind cartoon show that didnt last long. There was only 13 episodes aired on and it was cancelled around mid 1997 :(
