I've really annoyed about this, cause we only started getting TechTV over here in Australia and its become one of the only channels that I watch. This is really weak...

Domino · Sat 08/05/2004 03:12:13

I like TechTV.

It's sad to hear about this.

Dart · Sat 08/05/2004 03:18:42

Oh for hell's sake...

I was going to order TechTV next week since my cable providers, well, don't provide the channel.

This better be a joke.

Evil · Sat 08/05/2004 03:34:33

Son-of-a-bitch. There goes one of my only good 3 channels.

Peter Thomas · Sat 08/05/2004 04:42:12

yay! TechTV goes down the drain. About time, too...

I got TechTV free for about two months, a while ago. Wasn't that impressed.
So ... 6 point something billion -1, at least.

I think the one show that should be kept out of all of them is Call for Help...

SO many people who don't know how to use a computer but can use a phone learned to use their computer through that show...

they taught people who'd never used a computer that they won't break it as soon as they push a button [my mom always thought she'd break the computer but that was mostly cause my dad was always breaking the computer, now she's all over that thang!]

but a call in show where they take calls about advanced computer questions with a live audience? no...

Xplay? Why write into a show with a question you can find on the internet in 3 seconds the same with better reviews?

Unscrewed? Blargh... I think you have to be drunk or stoned to truly enjoy it, or rewrite the entire show in your heard so that they can actually tell a joke...

they're merging with G4?

Blargh... The only show I like on G4 is Icons because everything else can be found on the internet 300 times over. Pulse, they're news on the gaming industry is a weekly show... 1 show repeated all week... the same news.

Portal... if there is anyone here who watches portal and is sad when they miss an episode... I eat you alive...

where am i going with this?

no where, i just don't want to animate the background I just drew cause it has a lot of fire and smoke in it....

Trapezoid · Sat 08/05/2004 06:18:48

I liked Unscrewed.
Maybe only because they showed my animations.
This really sucks though. :\

MrColossal · Sat 08/05/2004 07:50:16

well then you must have been drunk or stoned!!1!

...it could have been good but the audience never laughs either... so i don't understand how the show survived that long... was it just for the girl gone wired?

Trapezoid · Sat 08/05/2004 08:03:25

Well, it's just my opinion. What appeals to me about it is the way it reflects the humor of internet culture, which I've been breastfed on for quite a while now. Not a lot of other television shows are that in touch with this kind of culture, so I think it's fresh, interesting and not to mention very funny. It's kind of an awkwardly produced show, but I think that's excusable for the kind of humor and quirky stuff it's showcased. If you don't think it's funny you won't think it's funny, so forget it exists (...existed) and carry on.

MrColossal · Sat 08/05/2004 08:34:42

not saying other people don't or can't like it I'm just surprised at it's "good enough" attitude towards things

i think the idea behind the show is very interesting [and i love how he calls his guests friends] and there's an infinite number of friends he could have on the show because the internet is so totally vast and full of content

there were just too many awkward pauses where the audience was supposed to laugh and didn't for my liking.

i watched a few episodes after you said you liked it, tried to give it another chance

did he show your animations on the first season or the second?

Robert Eric · Sat 08/05/2004 17:55:31

How sad. Brian Provinciano, the maker of SCI Studio, was on that show once, along with Al Lowe some time before that.

Sorry... but Morgan Webb is my wet dream... that's all I can say..

I'm with you on that one.... well, more or less. Less on the sick-talk, more on how great she is.

... I'm not even fucking with ya, seriously...

so only the women get to keep their jobs even though the men on the various shows offer just as much help?

Nine Toes · Sat 08/05/2004 22:58:58

Ultimo:[b/] Actually yeah... I have them saved on my hard drive.

Colossal:[b/] Don't get me wrong, I like Kevin, the dark tipper, too. He's cool, along with Leo on Call For Help. Call for help is an invaluable resource for me, and I'll tune into the Screen Savers to watch Bert Monroy

LordHart · Sun 09/05/2004 00:39:28

Woah, I dont remember posting that... but still... topless pics are nice.
