Leo says he'd love to do a TechTV reunion.
God do I miss that channel. I sat down to watch The Screen Savers
pretty much every weekday for almost three years. I couldn't get enough
of it! The personalities on that show were top notch geeks. Over the
years we always had Leo and Patrick, then later Kevin, plus Megan,
Jessica and Sarah. Yoshi, Roger and Robert contributed good stuff, and
even Martin was entertaining to some degree.
But G4 and Comcast hosed the channel, and they deserve the crappy ratings they're getting.
Pirillo and Scoble
have differing views on what made TechTV great, and what is good about
life after the network. I tend to agree with Scoble. It might be sad
that I don't get The Screen Savers in my living room every night, but I
don't think it's hard to argue that This Week in Tech, Digital Life TV and Digg
owe their roots to the demise of the network. The sum of these things
are far greater than TechTV ever was, or likely could have been.
