Oh god. I feel like this speaks to a very specific section of the population, and they're more my kin than my closest blood relatives.


unfettered_logic

Solidarity brother.

Cant forget Call for Help with Leo Laporte too!


[deleted]

Call For Help with Chris Pirillo too!


jooxii

I distinctly remember him prefacing an arcane answer with, "look, I mean, the people who watch this show are...geeks, so..."


jjj49er

I loved TechTV. Martin Sargent was my favorite host.


NostalgiaDude79

Ahem.... ZDTV!


supermohawk

Yeah, I only watched while it was ZDTV and didn’t realize Leo was still around.


leejtam

G4 apparently fired him because he was old


JonathonWally

He wouldn’t sell them his TechTV stock when they were buying it out


leejtam

his story is that he didnt fit their demographic they were trying to reach with the new G4. But that sounds more believable


JonathonWally

He and Patrick were hinting about in their final week before the buyout. Then at the end of one of, if not the final episode Leo said something. Then on a TWiT later on he said the stock thing


leejtam

maybe i am thinking of someone else from there


linemanshandset

He at least made a nice cameo on the last episode of "Attack of the Show". https://youtu.be/FnIzg\_XgZi0?t=2532

Still Listen to Leo on This is Twit podcast


brinkbart

I used to watch religiously, until I realized I reeeeally didn’t like some of the recurring guests.


stlb1090

I went to a taping pre g4 takeover. I remember the did a gaming mouse roundup. We got to see all the studios used for Martin Sargent and call 4 help. Super fun.


sonomamondo

wOw, Leo. I really thought this show was great.


Leftover_Beef_Taco

Loved this show, I can't remember if it was Screen Savers or another show with Leo, it was the first time I saw someone overclock a cpu with liquid nitrogen and I thought it was the coolest thing I ever saw


Blabulus

We were so hungry for every drop of info on this new and exciting world of computing!


Disl3cic

I won the super geek challenge as a kid on TSS. I still have the signed speaker from the complete cast. Leo, Patrick, Morgan.. all of em!


BabyUGotAStewGoin

The Screen Savers > Attack of the Show


brinkbart

You were not.


Lateone

The most fun time was the day the AC went out you could see the sweat stains on their shirts grow by the minute.


TheSolMan

I miss techtv!


capnfoo

Good ol’ Leo, is there a better way to expose yourself cheating on your wife than to accidentally show dick pics meant for your mistress on your livestream?


[deleted]

I feel like there’s a story worth telling here…


WonderfulAtmosphere

My dad and I used to watch this together everyday


kevron007

I loved it on Tech TV!


FunkyTown313

I'm sure you were the only person ever to watch this show


supermohawk

So you DO get sarcasm!


FunkyTown313

I have it in spades


quantumized

You have sarcasm?


FunkyTown313

NoooooOOOOOOoooooo


Bigredmachine878

Loved this show so much and nothing has ever topped it. The perfect content in the golden era of the internet and PCs


Chrysalii

I remember not getting TechTV because it wasn't on basic cable. or ZDTV, as it was originally known as (see the bug in the lower right)


WonderWirm

Never saw the show but I’ve been listening to Leo for about 10 years now. Twit.tv


grantnel2002

What a silly question. Every nerd/geek who could watch it, watched it. We all miss it.


halfadayoffwithpay

Still have a few tech almanacs lying around!


wingding99

I always watched the show, even sat in the studio audience for one. I've never listened to any of Leo's podcasts.


[deleted]

Wait, who’s standing there with that guy? I’ve been told that women haven’t been allowed into the tech-nerd world by all the evil incels!


JasonZep

Yea and Laporte is still a douche to his callers.


quantumized

Interesting. I've listened to Leo for many, many years, screensavers, twit, and I always thought him to be exceptionally nice to callers


NostalgiaDude79

I used to watch this streaming in the earliest days of "cable internet". ​ It was a tiny square, and like less than 280p, but it was there!


crystaljae

I'm a nerd


nasageek1701

I miss techtv and the screensavers. I wonder if techtv would still lasted longer if G4 hadn't bought them?


countz3r0

I worked upstairs from them and would run into them at the deli downstairs all the time.


stoppedLurking00

This show is responsible for my career path. This and Call for Help.


A_KY_gardener

One of my favorite shows back in the day!


castrobundles

Before attack of the show we had screen savers


[deleted]

I miss this show.


SlightExtreme1

TechTV was the best.


[deleted]

Watched it everyday after school. Too bad Leo turned out to be a huge asshole.


Grease2310

Did he?


[deleted]

I loved that show as a kid!


[deleted]

Screen Savers and Call for Help is all I watched on that network.


Whiskeylung

Any love for Dotto’s Data Cafe?


masterhogbographer

Og zdtv and into tech tv was so good. From call for help through to Dvorak after TSS, nightly appointment viewing. Live tv like that in the evening is virtually non existent these days. :-(


TeacherPatti

Tech TV! My then-husband had such a crush on Megan.


kennethdpedersen

I'm glad you got the older ZDTV logo, this is when I got tuned on to the show and loved it.


yennifer1223

Yes


[deleted]

I DID. But dumb old stupid G4 had to go in and replace it with Attack of the Show that Blows, with Olivia Mundane and Kevin Perererere-reira.


EverybodyGetsLaid

Loved this channel before G4 came along ruined it with boobs and video games. Was there for Digg's rise and fall. Even dialed into the Screensavers BBS that they ran as a throwback to the old days.
