Who thinks Pat Norton, Leo Laporte, and et al should start a PBS show similiar to the ScreenSavers? That would be great and they'd have a lot more control. If anyone can get Leo's email, contact him about it.

1. I miss Leo ....
and ScreenSavers. :-( I watched that show all the time and it was nice to get computer tips from knowledgeable people, without all the "MTV-style" graphics and delivery. TechTV has sucked ever since G4 took over! :mad:

2. Why did they cancel it? The only thing I watch on that network now is
X-Play. The rest is junk.

3. Canceled
Since they wanted to end contracts with certain people to make the channel more youth oriented, hipper, and more mainstream with some tech and video games. G4 sucks ass. TechTV wasn't 100% great but it did have great shows like ScreenSavers but they appealed to geeks and not mainstream folks.
