I think this show just needs a bit more time to find it's footing. Wil is a genuinely funny guy, and this show made me laugh out loud every episode. Sure it's not the highest quality (thanks SyFy) but it's SUPER nerdy and pleasantly offensive when he wants to be. His Super Cuts and Shout-out segments are downright hilarious most of the time, and his guests/co-hosts are just as funny! I would like to see the show done on an actual stage with guests, instead of a green-screened television/stage in the back, but I think with more time/money, this could be a thing. This s show reminds me of a nerdy Tosh.0. And I'm totally OK with that! Give this show a try!

::In my best Captain Picard Voice:: "Shut Up Wesley!" Why don't we have a Sheldon Cooper project? Is that too much to ask? I mean it's not that bad I guess.. there's other things you can be watching that are funnier tho.. like Big Bang Theory re-runs, Classic Star Trek episodes, Late Night TV Info-mercials, a blank screen... etc.
I came. I saw. I Wheatoned.. and I fell asleep 20 minutes into the show.. but thankfully I could watch the rest of the episode on my PC.. which afterwords that hard disc space quickly became utilized for more important things like.. empty space. I guess I rated it a 5 because it is tolerable to watch.. as long as you are strapped in a chair with one of those medieval torture devices that are used to keep your eye-lids held open and big stocky medieval looking guys are threatening to pummel you with a mace or some type of incendiary device if you do not make it to the very end of the episode.

The Wil Wheaton Project is a series of short sketches and mock-ups of some of the most recent sci-fi oriented shows and some episodes have interviews that are enjoyable for a nerd. I think that the best trait of these TV show is that it has a lot of things going on and there are really short time wise so if you don't enjoy one, it'll be over soon, maybe the next one will be more to your liking.
I really enjoy watching Wil Wheaton as a nowadays nerd adult. And I find him really funny. If his sense of humor isn't to your liking, don't watch the show it could be tiresome.
If you don't know whether or not giving it a shot I will recommend doing a previous encounter with his sense of humor going into the TableTop Youtube show that he does every 2 weeks.
I don't recommend watching this if you aren't up-to-date with Game Of Thrones because it's full of spoilers.

The biggest plus here is that THE WIL WHEATON PROJECT is, at its core, brutally HONEST. There's none of the candy-ass sugar-coating one often finds on a show of this kind: Wheaton calls them as he sees them. Nor does he tread Lightly when it comes to the crap doled out on a daily basis by The SyFy Channel itself- the very entity that has given us this show. (One wonders if some Executive(s) might take some of Wheaton's remarks to heart and set about revamping the channel into something more worthwhile...) (Not likely, I grant you, but you never know...) Besides its honesty, THE WIL WHEATON PROJECT (BECAUSE of its brutal Honesty) is laugh-out-loud hilarious. Don't miss it- it might not last long...
good for canned laughter not much else

Infantile is not the word I would like to use but it will suffice. Mr Wheaton (an old favorite of mine) has, as of yet, failed to master the delivery and in truth I doubt he ever will. I watched the first episode hoping for the best, the second because I thought the first was, well you know. I doubt if I have the endurance to watch another.
And as the previous reviewer noted. And I will use his words.

Unlike that gentleman I will not give it 5 but merely 3.
It is unfortunate that Mr. Crusher has fallen such. Hopefully he can recover, I hope he will.

Makes Me Laugh!

Note...I am: not a full geek or nerd; over 60+ years; not his mother. That said...I follow Wil Wheaton because I find his attitude refreshing. Thus, I watch his new show with high expectations. To date he has met and exceeded my high expectations. His timing is spot on. Innuendos, facial expressions...all a pleasant surprise Wheaton is that good. The fact that he does it with such ease is amazing.
Granted, I do have issues with the gory stuff, sex, and graphic-I-cringe curse words, (in context as they may be). Its not my generation. Old hippie here. There are things that I feel are excessively gross. Again, Not my generation. In context, there are very popular televisions shows with as much if not more gore and sex than what's on the "Wil Wheaton Project." I don't watch them, but I watch Wheaton.
I set my alarm so when I doze off, I can wake up to watch his show. I don't do that for any show except for "Extant" the other night. If You want a look at a part of this Earth's culture, then "The Wil Wheaton Project" will give you a glimpse that will make you laugh, if your are conscious, as well as give you something(s) to think about. I say, Watch More Wheaton!

Goodtime nerdy humor !

Goodtime nerdy humor. Fun references, clips and skits for geeky comic book, sci-fi types. Set in the quick paced venue of former entertainment show "The Soup" never drones on and moves into new material quickly. Its witty and sometimes campy so its not for everyone. Will is a surprisingly good host with a jovial sense of humor. I love the recurring angry Skeletor Twitter segments. There is continually lambasting of deserving Scy-Fy Channel fodder and shameless plugging of guests and advertisers. Giggle along if you have on-demand cable features you may still be able to pick up a couple episodes. I definitely hope they have a season 2!
