 Lisa the Computer Genie - Gorgeous
electronically generated being on the sci-fi comedy WEIRD
SCIENCE/USA/1994-97. One stormy night two nerdy high school
freshmen Gary Wallace and Wyatt Donnelly programmed a home PC to
"design
a perfect woman".
Gary insisted on making a total babe, while Wyatt hungered for
an intellectual equal. In a strange turn of events, a bolt of
lightning hits the computer and out pops an attractive redheaded
computer super-babe named Lisa - a living extension of Gary and
Wyatt's combined personalities who wears tight dresses and
contains a staggering supply of knowledge, be they scientific,
political, psychological, biological or cultural. Lisa does have
one limitation, however. Although Lisa can explain how love
works in a chemical or psychological way, until she lives it
herself, she can't explain love from the heart. For this, she
relies on Gary and Wyatt.
Throughout their adventures, Gary and
Wyatt explore the sexual and emotional nature of being a
teenager as well as travel though time, space and alternate
universes. Their primary nemesis is Wyatt's psychotic,
ultraconservative older brother, Chett.

Excerpts for the show's first
episode "She's Alive" |
|
Lisa: |
So this is what you boys
consider a dream babe. This body's a scathing indictment
of a sexist brain-dead MTV generation. But then again,
What am I complaining about. I am leggy, buffed, and
brainy. Good job, Guys |
|
G&W: |
Umm.. You're Welcome |
|
|
G&W: |
What are you, some kind of
witch? |
|
Lisa: |
Get real. Use your fuzzy
logic. Think of me as a P.C. genie. |
|
G&W: |
So, like, we command you?
You'll give us whatever we ask for? |
|
Lisa: |
Except for what you want right
now. |
|
G&W: |
How do you know what we want
now? |
|
Lisa: |
You're torgued up
15-year-olds. Check back with me when your legal.
|
|
|
Lisa: |
What happened? I was afraid of
that. |
|
G&W: |
Afraid of what? |
|
Lisa: |
Well, nothing lasts for ever
including your wishes. My guess is they could last an
hour, a day...six seconds? |
|
G&W: |
What kind of K-Mart genie are
you? We wish for stuff, but we can't keep it? |
|
Lisa: |
Hey, Don't blame me. Blame the
software. I'd have a lot more power if Wyatt had installed
the neutronium space modulator. Way to go, smart guy.
|
|
|
G&W: |
Are you sticking around this
time? |
|
Lisa: |
Before you created me, I
didn't exist. Don't you see? You're my reason for living.
All I want is to make you happy. Are you happy?
|
|
G&W: |
Very Happy. |
|
Lisa: |
Good |
