Excellent, a Must See
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreThere 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.
View MoreI 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.
View MoreThis 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 andDumber: The Animated Series.
View MoreI 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.
