It is the best showdown of geekiness in all of Time and Space. There are fezzes. There are TARDIS bowling balls. There's Wil Wheaton!

New ‘Nerdist Channel’ Lineup Includes ‘Doctor Who’, NPH, Bill Nye, and More

Neil Patrick Harris, Bill Nye, Stephen Hawking, and the cast of Doctor Who may seem like a strange combination but The Nerdist Channel is making it work. In a preview for their programming, Nerdist Industries has managed to find a wonderful geeky balance between fun, science, and hilarious ridiculousness (see learning to tie a bow tie with Bill Nye, the Science Guy). The latter especially refers to Harris' series "Neil's Puppet Dreams," which sounds and looks just crazy enough to be awesome.

Plus, I think NPH has proven that there's really nothing he can't do. Then for all you science lovers there's "Stephen Hawking: The Nature of Black Holes," where the theoretical physicist leads you through the universe. But depending on whether or not you're a Whovian (like Hardwick) the best part of the preview is the news that the cast of Doctor Who will be featured on an episode of "Chris Hardwick’s All Star Bowling.”
