  • Everyone Please post on G4's Facebook demanding the return of TechTV.

  • you remember when it was ZDTV leo is the shit.. G4TV is ok but i loved TechTV and ZDTV

  • RIP Steve Jobs

  • Personally, I miss Screen Savers and the original format of X-Play. I had my tech show and my gaming show.

    Now, G4 is basically nothing more than a channel built for cock-tease. Basically, the douchy little brother to the douche bag older brother that is SpikeTV.

    Way to go G4. You've whored yourself out worse than Scifi (now SyFy) has. You actually have to TRY to be that bad.

  • I miss Screen Savers :( used to watch it every time it was on. Ever since they got rid of kevin and alex and changed the name to attack of the show, the entire channel took a nose dive right into a steaming pile of crap.

  • Attack of The Show sucks, because their host is a complete douche bag who busts countless unfunny sex jokes and a slut who doesn't know shit about technology, just there to look good. Screen Savers was so much better, more serious about tech.

  • back when g4 was a real channel and they had shows worth watching...... thanks for the memories

  • i'd like to watch sarah lane get pounded from behind.

  • I remember this like if it was yesterday.

  • i also want back techtv and the screen savers

  • I want TechTV back.....like....now?

  • burn in hell G4.. and take all the cast with you.

  • Anyone have a link to the picture of Alex and Kevin (and maybe a lot of TTV guys giving G4 the bird?) I can't find it.

  • fuck you comcast

  • note to G4: Bring back The Screen Savers, make X-Play like it was, and play more shows about movies, TV, and games, and less Cops and other stuff that doesn't belong on the channel. Maybe then I'll start watching you again

  • What happened the next day?

  • man that sucks!! alex didnt even get to say bye

  • It's interesting how they end Diggnation in almost the exact same way now.. "That is it for this edition of *name of show* I'm Kevin Rose" -- "and I'm Alex Albrecht" I miss TechTV but revision3 wouldn't exist if things didn't happen the way they did and I love me some rev3

  • I miss the orginal Screen Savers. That Alex was annoying as f u c k!

  • wow, they didnt even know they'd get fired... rough

  • bring back the good 'ol x-play when it was weird and funny, This, and Electric Playground and i will never watch another channel ever again

  • Nice turnups

  • attack of the show sucks, kevin and olivia just piss me off.....

  • diggnation is better

  • i used to live this show !! damn g4

  • Stupid as shit to get rid of this show.

  • SARAH!!

  • How the hell could they destroy the show after this?

  • Wow..

    1:45

    They sound exactly the same now.

  • lol, i was almost expecting them to say "and thank you for watching this week's episode of diggnation" or something like that

  • It used to be a great quality network before the G4 takeover. Now its just complete garbage.

  • see you next time?

  • @gummybear1662 variety v consistency(ninja warrior and Cops)

    G4 needs ot fuck them selves

  • g4 is crap now

  • G4 was always crap.

    It was good when it was ZDTV/TechTV.

  • I use to watch this all the time, I do miss the show.

  • ...what took place at the network the following day?

  • G4 fired most of the TSS crew/hosts and canceled another show.

  • @WARDOG1138 They changed the format of the show and fired a lot of people.

  • Tegotetab < Alex albrecht

  • wow the guys look so young here lol

  • Alex will be guest hosting Attack of the Show tonight. I hope they show some old clips.

  • It makes me so sad to watch this. =(

  • When TechTV ended, a part of me died.

  • I hate the CEO who turned G4 into a fucking SPIKE tv channel. I miss the old shows like TSS, Filter, and ETC. man I hate so much with Cops on every hour, there a hundred chanels that have Cops on. Pleas let G4 come back to its roots of showing anime, awsome game reviews, and news that WE the people really care about.

  • AHHHHHH THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES I FUCKING MISS TechTV GRRRR FUCK G4!!!!

    i wanna kill whomever changed it to this cops2.0 and ninja warrior and cheaters bs.......

  • Blame comcast. Microsoft sold the network to comcast, Eliminating all remnants of Anime, Computer help, and Quality entertainment. I agree with cops and cheaters but I rather enjoy ninja warrior.

    I think if tech tv were still around today that Ninja warrior would have eventually found its way on there.

  • What happened the next day?

  • 2/3's of the staff were fired, including Alex, and the show was repackaged into what later became Attack of the Show.

  • @theGAME71135 The WORST thing to happen to Tech TV. I hate G4 - bunch of friggin stupid idiots.

  • @theGAME71135 LAME That was so lame. TSS was the shit.

  • @theGAME71135 That's so sad. G4 shouldn't of done that, and I'm sure if they wouldn't of, they would of become more popular, not become a failure channel that isn't even on DirecTV.

  • @theGAME71135 did they know before the end of the show that night that they were unemployed the next day?

  • kevin didnt get fired but alex and most of the people from san francisco got fired from g4

  • That stupid merger should never have happened. TechTV was alwaya far better than g4.

  • Yeah man. I hate g4. I heard TechTv might be resurrected this year(2009)

  • what???

    please dont be pulling my leg...

  • Its only a rumor so far. BUt I did hear it.

    Plus, revision3 is as good as techtv.

  • g4 says they got rid of shows because they didn't get good ratings. at least that is what the president of the station says on the G4 open source where you can ask him questions. they have a few about techtv and these older shows and all he has to say is they didn't get good ratings. how could they not have got good ratings now? they actually think they are getting better ratings now then they did when they had these old shows from techtv on?

  • i guarantee if they brought call for help or screen savers back if only for reruns they would at least triple there ratings.

  • why was this the end???

  • shes still crazy hot

  • Preach it brother! The tech reviews now are shit... "This laptop doesn't look cool" or really stupid stuff are what make or break it now.

    Take it a step farther, what about ZDTV? Yeah... even rawer content. Leo and Kate, those were the days.

  • Sarah used to be crazy hot back in her twenty's.

  • ahmen.

    I miss TechTV so much.

  • fuckin' comcast.

  • G4 sucks

  • its kinda sad though they replaced this show with that boring crap with sigh kevin pererra(man i hate that guy he is sooo boring)

    i mean heres the thing why would you lay off 1 half of the 2 shows that were keeping the bloody station afloat? kevin p. replaced rose and is doing a terrible job at it while alex and yoshi were also thrown out

    ....makes me question why sara lane was kept on.....

  • I loved G4, pure gaming. I loved TechTV, down and dirty gadgets and tech with help for those that need it.

    Then Vulcan and Comcast went and screwed that up, and now we have a very sub par, MTV/Spike hybrid that promises gold and delivers some blue pulsating thing that should really be checked.

  • How bout the old ZDTV days I'll take 'em all back except Dvorak

  • Whoa, dodgy haircut Kevin!

    Alex's hair hasn't changed :-D

  • whatever happened to judgement day electric playground old aots players game makers

  • judgement plays on g4 in canada on comcast

  • G4 actually shows some of those shows in a block called G4 Rewind.

  • yea g4 sux they barely hav any video game related shows besides xplay

  • And that wasn't even a G4 show. That was the ONLY show from TechTV to be kept after the merger.

  • You forgot about Xplay.

  • I was referring to XPlay.

    ScreenSavers was turned into AOTS.

  • I miss the classic G4. I saw this coming once they merged. It was great for a while after they merged. We got some amazing shows like Screen Savers and X-play but it went downhill rather fast. G4 is still good today but it lacks that amazing "for the games" feel that classic G4 was. It'll never be the same :'(

  • what happened the next day?

  • More than half of the staff, including Alex, was fired and the show began its transformation into Attack of the Show.

  • I missed the Old Days When it was called G4TechTV. They had something good! the best of both worlds. they had Portal, the screensavers,(Before it turned into "Attack of the shit hole") Filter, the arena, and so many others that I miss so Dearly. X Play Is the only show I like anymore because it's the only thing that's left from the good ol' days. *Sighs* I guess that's what you get for letting a bunch of MTV fucktards run the show.

    R.I.P G4TechTV. You will be missed.

  • The OLD DAYS when it was called G4TechTV?

    You're joking - right?

  • No, I'm not Joking. Yes, I know that they were two seperate Channels before. I was there for the whole disaster. It Feels like an Eternity Since they've been called that though, and That's Enough for me to call it "Old". lol I liked both Channels Equally So I was very happy to watch all of my favorite shows on one Channel. But the bastards Had to remove All of the shows that made it good! Sorry for the Ramble.

  • sarah!!!! i love you!!!!

  • Holy shit Kevin has changed.

  • See you next time :(

  • after that day they laid off like 200 employees, including alex albrecht....kevin rose left on his own

    like everyone from tts formed revision3

  • Hah... So everybody seems to be agreed that they don't like G$ anymore. Personally, I stopped watching shortly after Kevin left AOTS, a few months after the transition. Now the only show I would consider watching is The Lab, with Leo, because that show has stayed true to what Techtv used to be... I wanna find the clip where kevin messed up with the teleprompter... they talk about it on diggnation episode 2. help with that.

    PS: someone buy g4 and make it techtv again, plz.

  • I miss watching the Screen Savers and I miss the old G4 when it was TechTV when they showed everything about technology, computers, and video games all day. The G4 now is just too sad ever since Olivia and other new co-hosts appeared to replace Kevin Rose, Sarah Lane, and the other hosts from TechTV and ruined everything. Screw Olivia and the other co-hosts. They don't know shit and the history behind G4 while they talk about dumb craps.

  • I agree with ZekeBarzahd, I cant stand watching that G4 now for less than a few minutes when the shows I liked are gone except x-play, when that I dont watch.

  • To be honest I like the old G4. This new shit right now I don't like it now.

  • I miss when computer gaming was more underground and for the nerds. I've been into computer since I was 10 which was 1995. Building my first Pentium system. Playing Doom, Quake, and Tribes. I miss the days when it was just for the nerds.

  • i remember this. FUCK G4 FUCK SPIKE GOD DAMN U ALL FOR DESTROYING MY FAVORITE THING TECH TV AND GAMING!

  • gad damn that G4

  • I think when it was still g4techtv it was great, I mean TSS;Judgement Day; Xplay; Call For Help all day it was games;computers.

    Now we get AOTS for and hour and xplay for 30 minutes.

    Complete SHIT

  • revision3

    the new g4. almost all of the people who were on tss have shows there.

  • I totally agree. Judgement Day was sooo good with that greasy italian guy and Victor.

  • Chubby cheeks Victor lol. I honestly liked Attack of the Show for the first year. Now it's just sad. Plus G4 is plays COPS and Star Trek all day. It sucks now. They don't even have G4 TV anymore

  • i thought alex was on g4 for a little while... anyway yeah screen savers was a great show, much better than attack of the show, even though aots is at least decent. g4 is a second rate spike tv, and spike tv sucks.

  • What happened the next day? was that when The Screen Savers was canceled, or when Alex quit?

  • cancelled

  • pow rite in the kisser

  • G$ is perverted and totally not about games or anything tech!!! Tect TV showed the old skool Thunderbirds from the 70's!!!! now all they show is cheaters and cops!!!

  • yeah. I go over to my grandmothers house (she has dish) and try to get something, but i'm getting marathons of cops, cheaters, and ninja warior. They stopped talking about computers, and now have specials on what happened at "AdultCon" or what ever. I remember that "ScreenSavers" got me into emulation and modding, due to one special they did...

  • yea i couldn't believe when i saw that they were doin a thing about porn, totaly screw up! whoever started TechTV must be sad to see how lame his channel now is

  • he's happy he got his money.

  • How is he an anti semite?

  • God I miss TechTV - fuck you G4. Fortunately, Kevin and Alex started the best tech show EVER - diggnation.

  • FUCK! I miss this show so much...

    /cry

  • Alex looks less fat.

  • Tweaker alert 00-01

  • i miss this show, and the good days of xplay when they actually, ya know... reviewed games.. tech tv was awesome.. now this whole g4 thing is just... stupid.

  • Yeah, It's fun to see these shows again. And G4 is the pits.

  • tech tv and the screen savers R.I.P

  • Indeed.. Those were the golden days.

  • Dude Techtv used to be the shiznit. I don't usually curse in the comments but techtv fucken rocked.G4 however is a sell out like mtv

  • Used to be my favorite show... :(

  • This video got me all depresed....

    FUCKKKKKKKKKKK G4 !!!!!!!! I HATE UUUUUU G4 !

    Im a fan of The ScreenSavers forever.

  • Yeah, I'm pissed at G4. They remind me of MTV. The same way MTV doesn't play music anymore... G4 got away from their base. It pisses me off!

  • G4 SUX BAD...I miss those days...

  • BRING IT BACK! G4 fucking sucks.

  • yeah g4 has nothing to do about games or anything cool anymore

  • G4 Killed this show!

  • FUCK G4

  • Damn right, they ruined this show. i loved techtv, when g4techtv came on i thought....'shit' and i thought for a bit and realized that this was the worst possible thing that couldve happened

  • G4TechTV Canada more like TechTV. Especially now since recently they have been airing more Tech like shows, such as CNetTV, Lab With Leo, and they seem to be slowly weaving out the shitty G4 programming

  • i like them but i think kevin perara and morgan web was funnier

  • Now it adam sessler and morgan web. (FACT: Addam sessler has been apart of G4 (Tec TV, Gamespot TV) for the longest then any other G4 star! Morgan #2, Kevin #3)

  • adam is one of the funniest

  • Hell yeah, Adam Sessler should start acting In "National Lampoon" (A Vulgar, Sex-related, Crude film company, Sounds like somthing he would Do.) Movies!

  • Good for them!!!

  • i think g4 eats ass and lost all tech of the whole merger/buyout. Miss those guys so much! Kevin's g/f was a super hotty (Woot Sarah!)

  • G4 has Changed alot...... No more 24/7 tech, Now, its

    Arested Devolopement, and Cops, and Code Monkey.............. I am starting to belive it starting to change its self into mini FOX, If they this up, FOX WILL Buy G4, and replace them with young nerds to host X-play! Like when Cartoon Network try to turn itself into mini nickilodeon, now Nick is trying to by Cartoon Network! (U Guys Follow me?)

  • yea makes perfict sence

  • Or He should of stared in "Grandma's Boy" when it came out (The plot would make perfect sense to adam sense)

  • ha thats the funniest movie in the world

  • i dunno, they sort of give the impression that they knew what was going on the next day. sad.

  • They did not. Martin Sargent, who was apart of those layoffs talked about that on a podcast. They did not know it was going to happen until the day it did. They were all paid through March 2005 to fullfill their contracts.

  • "See you next time on the screen savers"

    ahh...no

    I MISS TSS!!

  • lol, sally said"o would love to blow those guys and you said"i agree with you" lmao!

  • tech tv was so much better than g4 is, the only thing to come out of g4 is convention coverage which is botched whenever the most important news is being delivered (cutting to commercial during live halo3 trailer at e3 yes this did happen)

  • More proof that G4 is shit.

    From Wikipedia..

    "G4 was created by Comcast and Insight Communications in 2002. The initial concept was create a service similar to TechTV but "geared more toward MTV's demographics"."

    HAHAHA OH WOW... MTV demographics...

  • LOL @ MTV Why would they follow THAT model? MTV has been a joke for a decade now. Someone didnt do their homework. Just wish they focused on pushing the PR for TechTV so more people would watch. I still miss that channel.

  • They've actually followed the MTV plan to a T.

    Take what made you popular in the first place and completely phase it out.

    TECHNOLOGY? LOL HOW ABOUT SUM EXPLOSIONS

  • when will screen savers ever come back?

    G4 is as crappy as MTV now. Cops? Star Trek? The Man Show? WTF? Thats not what I want when I go to the Tech channel or "gamer" channel w/e they claim it to be now. Not to mention Attack Of The Show and X Play suck.

  • ive got a nerd crush on kevin back in those days.. hehe

  • I would love to blow those guys.

  • HOORAY FOR AOTS WOOT

  • G4 has gone to hell. I mean Cops and Arrested Developement? What. The. Fuck.

  • I completely agree. Once G4 took over it went from a tech and game channel to a crap channel. Even though X play still exist it has gone to crap as well.

  • Amen to that, man.

  • i agree, but you better not say arrested sucks. it just belongs somewhere else.

  • I never seen Screensavers, but I can tell by your rantings that it was a good show. Even if it is better than any show on G4, that doesn't mean that the shows on G4 is bad. Call me what you want; nothing anyone can say will change my 'opinion'.

  • ah i remember those days.

    i also remember tech tv.

    i mean i like aots but nowhere as much as i did the screen savers. the things they showed me really helped me become the person i am today.

  • i hate attack of the show

    the screen savers were so much better

  • I agree I miss the old shows too

  • are they gay

  • Ah, I remember me & my family would watch The screensavers everyday. We started watching back in the ZDNET days. I really hate to see that good tech educational programming doesn't seem to have a place on tv, I mean I got directv & alot of BS channels but there seems to be no place for tech shows ? Think about how many people have no idea how to set up computers networks firewalls, Shit my grandpa can't even play a Dvd. Sadly im not kidding. IPTV will take over soon ! People want to learn.

  • I agree, I learned alot about computers from the screensavers, and would probably be a genius if they hadn't replace it with attack of the show, which is uninformal, uneducational, and really quite trashy

  • Blame COMCAST and E! Networks for destroying what used to be a good couple of stations. They're the ones that bought them out , merged them, then destroyed them with Jaimie Kennedy and Arrested Developement shows.

  • I miss Tech TV and G4TV when they were actually Tech and Game Show related stations. I liked the older Screen Saver hosts. It was funny watching the old dude run in the intro of all the classic shows.

  • T_T Damn that makes me sad. . . just remembering the pure yet beautiful awesomeness that was TechTV once upon a time. . . -_-
