Kevin’s Word

Well, It’s Official. After over 1,500 Live Episodes; over 4,500 live calls; many guests; countless audience members; hundreds of staffers, four networks, three owners, and 61/2 years of quality television (and a half a year of bad TV); the hit ZDTV-TechTV-G4techTV-G4 show “The Screen Savers” has ended.

They made the annoucement on Thursday’s live episode of TSS that it would not be cancelled, but changed in it’s format to eliminate all technology and turn it in to a game/pop culture show about the “fun” side of technology. (In other words, fun for a Everquest-addicted-failed-3rd-Grade-4-times 13 year old who doesn’t know who Bill Gates is.) As predicted, they will change the name of TSS to–hold on becouse you won’t believe me–”Attack of the Show“. It was announced Thursday, but I don’t watch TSS any more, so when I saw it on the forums from a G4 Moderater, I thought he was joking. He told me in an email that he wasn’t, but I don’t trust G4. I went to Kevin R.’s blog. Nothing. I went to Sarah L.’s blog. Nothing. And I wanted proof. I thought, if it was a joke, G4 wouldn’t give the name to the people who make the guides of TiVo. I checked my TiVo for Monday, Mar. 28 when it would be premiering, and sure enough, there it was. ATTACK OF THE SHOW.

It was fun while it lasted. We hope, maybe in a far-off distant world (Canada), Rogers will get the copyrights to TSS and do what they did with Call for Help. They worked wonders with it, hopefully they will address the hardcore geeks too. Oh, and get it here in the US, along with CfH. Thanks.

Sincerly, Given Up on Hope, Kevin Dupuy.
