For you former TechTV fans

Yet another battle between a peon (I mean that in the nicest way in this case) vs. corporate. You just can't win... once management has an idea in their head, they want it executed. If you don't, they will find someone who will. God knows why they won't listen to the people who actually ARE in the trenches. I mean, it's not even money in this case... if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Anyway, I never watched the show except for a few lunch breaks I actually took here and there. But from his writing, it sounds like corporate ruined another one... just as many had predicted.
 
It was just getting good before G4 took over. Kevin and Patrick were actually covering some interesting stuff on TSS.

So it started out catering to 40-60 year old with cutting edge tutorials for hooking up your digital camera to your computer......eventually moved towards 16 - 30 crowd with Yoshi's mods and Kevin and Patrick......and has completed the transition to NickelodeonTech and adolescent wanking central with flirty chicks everywhere and non-stop console game coverage.

I actually am starting to get fond of Unscrewed though....I just like the conspiracy theorists he dregs up. It's not very good, but it's better than watching Letterman or Leno.

I dont mind TechTV. I just started watching it recently so I'm not too aware of the changes that have been made. But I'm a gamer so I dont mind the game coverage. And who is complaing about flirty chicks? But then again im only 19....so bring em on is what i say...overall its better than something like the lifetime channel so I wont complain
 
It was terrible to watch the show just degrade over the course of the takeover. To me Leo and Patrick made the Screensavers, and I watched Call for Help as often as I could. I'm glad its on again in Canada, but its still not the same.
Even Kevin and Patrick weren't terrible, but as soon as I started getting used to that they changed it again.

Moral of the story: I hate whatever company it was that took it over.

Edit: Just read the page, its unbelievable that they used fake callers and questions so the hosts could answer them. Good read overall, I wish that Kevin or Sarah could do something similar without worrying about being fired/sued.
 
I remember when it was "Kate and Leo" and it looked like it was out a garage.

The channel has turned it to a big ass Hype Pipe for New games. Not that that is horrible, but it gets old fast. Id rather play my games than watch some jack@ss tell me how where to find some "stars" or to push x,o,square,triangle - then hold R1, L2 ... blah, blah...

I hate see "unscrewed" go I love martin (since TSS) and really dig the cute chick on the show with him.
That's the best thing going for G4. ....

the new 'funny' guy on TSS 'sucks', ya know the one in the dell commerial. - bloody wanker.
