I remember when Kevin almost broke NDA on a Nvidia card. Pat looked like he was about to punch him in the face to shut him up. :D

Patrick now works for Ziff Davis on DL.TV.

I liked Leo and Patrick. Never saw a show with Leo and that first chick with the big (size wise) mouth.

Patrick and Kevin were good too, but I can fondly remember sitting in my bedroom playing Baulder's Gate eating some beef jerky with Leo and Patrick hosting The Screensavers in the background.

I need to find some of those old shows.

Man, the early days of TechTV remind me of the early days of MSNBC and a show called The Site hosted by Soledad OBrien and featuring Leo Laporte as a CG character. This was back in 1996.

My wife and I watched the coverage of the AEE the other night, it wasn't a bad show. The hosts are kinda dorky, but so are most hosts. And that Ninja Warrior that was on afterwards was friggin awesome.

I laugh histerically everytime I see that commercial for that hotel/snow boarder reality show.

I think I either need to get my TV hooked up again, or move to Zimbabwe.

I have absolutely no idea what G4 is, what TechTV is, who Leo Laporte is, who Olivia Munn is, what "The Screensvaers" are or what C4H is.

Was seriously considering getting Direct TV. I finally bought a cheap little HD TV and surround system. My mom has a nice Direct TV package including a big-ass Tivo decoder box. She wasnt aware but somebody arranged her setting so it would auto download and save shows from her most-watched channels. She had about 100 shows saved up and didnt even know they were there or how to watch them!

With free equipment and installation I may be temped to do it.

SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!

Does anyone remember when Sarah Lane and Kevin were going out? Now she's married to that other guy that was on TSS/AOTS.

Once Ziff Davis sold it, it went to crap. Now ZD is looking to sell off some of its magazines. Good thing no one actually reads the magazines anymore.

Oh and everyone knows that Morgan was one of the best reasons to watch The Screen Savers... she'd always wear them tight shirts ;x. I think her and Adam Sessler still host the only decent show on G4TV (X-Play), albeit it's not as good as it used to be back with that weird looks-like-she-belongs-on-Nickelodeon woman.
