The Resume

    (June 1, 2005-May 13, 2008)
    Airs on the WB
    Produced by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg
    Premise: Intelligent but socially uncertain males (‘geeks') pair up with gorgeous but academically uncertain females (‘beauties') in competitions involving each other's strong suits

Why Beauty and the Geek might be annoying:

    Most of the geeks actually fueled the stereotype of the nerd; in fact, thick-framed glasses remain one of their trademarks.
    The hosts of the first and second seasons were considered 'nondescript white guys.'
    Kutcher calls it the ‘ultimate social experiment.'
    When shown a picture of Kelly Clarkson, one of the geeks failed to recognize her.

Why Beauty and the Geek might not be annoying:

    Most of the beauties have serious academic aspirations and thus disprove the stereotype of the air head.
    Nevertheless, a beauty who was shown a picture of John Kerry failed to recognize him.
    When he insisted it was possible to do a version with Plain Janes and Fabios (the reverse of the first two seasons), Kutcher was told by the WB entertainment president, ‘You don't live in Hollywood, do you?'
    Unlike the Bachelor, the goal is not to find romance but to work together (and thus genuine chemistry has often happened).
