I miss it when it was called "The Screen Savers" and "G4" was "TechTV" - heck, even the "G4TechTV" Screen Savers wasn't all *that* bad...'till they fired most of the remaining cast...(boy, *that* was an embarassing and awkward first episode with the new cast!)

It's like when MTV and VH1 used to play music, and The Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel had science and nature shows, before they became the Home Makeover Networks...

And anybody remember when MTV/2 came out and they promised "all music all the time"...?

URIAH


I am so with you on this!

Also, the piece was pretty great, I watched the show just for the Serenity bit.

I remember back when it was ZDTV! I watched that channel a lot, they had a lot of informative shows. They had a broad range of subjects and people. They had a lot of smart shows and fun shows. There was something for everyone.

But it kept changing and changing, now it's unrecognizable. I didn't watch for a while, and then when I checked back it seemed to be a channel for teenage to twenty-something males, with a big emphasis on gaming.

*sigh*

Well guess I missed the Joss and Nathan interview. But I'm thinkin' that they may show the episode again? Often the programming gets repeated; especially on the weekend.

11th Hour

I'm just gonna go and guess the interview didn't really help in explaining the movie or getting to know the characters at all. I watch Attack of the Show everyday, except for the day before yesterday (there was a Firefly marathon on Sci Fi) and yesterday because I was sleeping, and usually when they interview people about movies, its all about jokes and weird questions that have to do with the movie. Like if it were a superhero movie, they would ask, "If you could have any superpower, what would it be?" Not things like, "So, explain a little about your character's background." They may have changed it and done a really informative interview but the only reason you would try and catch this is because you love to just see anything about Serenity that is on TV.

ZDTV! Yeah, that was back in the early days! And still as TechTV they had good stuff - even towrds the end when they had everything from Great Thinkers to Nerd Nation to Body Hits to Call for Help, TechLive, and even the low-brow but funny Unscrewed...

They "merged" with G4TV - a teen gaming channel - and it was supposed to be an equal mix of both - but the G4 shows (and hosts) nudged out most all the old TechTV shows and people, but like Kevin Rose and his girlfriend...in fact, I tuned in one day and all but Kevin where gone (including his roomate who also worked the show) and Kevin looked embarassed and pissed but couldn't say much! But I guess he needs a job...

You knew it was comming too when on all the TechTV shows it was called "G4TechTV" but even on the post-merger G4 shows it was still only called "G4"...

They *used* to repeat ScreenSavers on the weekends, but my new cable doesn't get G4, and I don't much care now, so....I don't know...
