"The Nerd" was an unsold pilot show made back in 1989. It was ultimately aired in 1996...and considering the quality, I am shocked it ever aired anywhere except, perhaps, by some monsters in order to torture their victims! Yes, it is THAT bad.
The show begins with a couple inviting an important guy over for dinner and they wanna impress him. However, Rick (the ill-named Robert Joy) arrives unannounced and they feel obligated to invite him to stay for dinner. However, Rick soon shows that he is LESS cultured and mannered than any of the Three Stooges or Pauley Shore and he single-handedly ruins the evening with his obnoxious comments and boorishness.
If you think Rick's shtick could have been funny, you are mistaken. It's god-awful and the sort of thing almost all viewers would turn off after the first five minutes...it's THAT bad.
