With that being said, I'm also stoked that Leo and the gang are returning!

I was never a huge fan of Kevin, but after he left I realized how much he helpe the show. I still dont like the one host they have now, and the open casting call for the other host spot doesn't fill me with confidence. Thanks for the info movieking.

No Jessica Corbin, no sale. Seriously though I'm glad they're bringing the show back. I was a fan of the old Screen Savers and yes I even like Kevin Rose. Once it was G4'd my interest quickly waned. I still watch every now and then to see Sarah but I can only stomach 2 or so minutes of the begining and then I have to turn.

Anyway, she was on a Twit podcast a few weeks ago, and she just made it much less enjoyable to listen to. She added very little to the discussion of tech. I don't mind having hot chicks on a tech show, but at the same time, they should know their stuff.

Speaking of Kevins, I guess some people don't like Kevin Rose either, but I like him, too. Sure, he's got the personality of a Chicken McNugget, but I love those Dark Tips!

I guess she's the opposite of a "face for radio". Just put her on when we can see her, and who cares if/when anything comes out of her mouth.
Leo was funny (in a dumb way) last week.... "Hey!! I got great news about Call For H.... Errrrr... I mean.."
Darn NDA's.
Anyways, like everyone else, I added a "Call" SP to my Tivo.

The first show was entertaining (Monday). I'm not sure I like the cohosts though. I did like the undertone of "Windows sucks and has all sorts of problems and Macs work wonderfully" however. I'll be watching again.

Damn Comcast still doesn't have it on the schedule. 
So I'm just setting my dvr for whatever is on at 10:00AM(CST). Is the evening show a repeat of what was aired in the morning?

He said that G4 bought some of the older shows as well, but they should be airing new ones as well. Yesterday's show in Canada was a rerun. Generally, there are one to three reruns a week, but you guys should be getting the new ones when we do, AKAIK.

Yeah, these were definately all Canadian. The callers were Canadian only and no mention of being on elsewhere... saw the TechTV logo at the beginning, that was kinda neat! All that Zed stuff....I live on the Canadian Border and never understood it..... but glad to have some decent programming back, tho the set is kinda cheesy, guess all the $$$ went into tech!?
