This is easily one of my favorite 80s comedies so to see it get this kind of special treatment is great. According to DavisDVD, the extras include:
-Audio Commentary by director Jeff Kanew, Robert Caradine, Timothy Busfield & Curtis Armstrong
-six deleted scenes
-the "I'm a Nerd and I'm Pretty Proud of It" featurette
-the rarely-seen "Revenge of the Nerds" TV Pilot
-the original theatrical trailer
I've never heard of the TV Pilot. Anybody have any info on that one? Was it done in the 80s or around the time of the awful 90s TV sequels?

I never put two and two together that he was one of the nerds!

I had a similar experience in the late 80s when I realized he was the guy on THIRTYSOMETHING.

I wonder if this edition of ROTN will be optically censored or not. The "double-feature" DVD with the sequel actually had a little post-production censoring, I believe, on a few signs in the background in certain shots... they just "blurred" them out, much like the "new, digitally remastered" GREASE did to all those Coca-Cola signs in the newer theatrical and, I assume, DVD release.
