I remember being amazed with this show because Leo seemed to know everything about IT and that he could solve any problems given. Quite inspirational I must say.
WOW! This was an episode before Windows XP or Mac OS X. Before those were Mac OS 9 and Windows 2000 or Windows ME, 98, or 95. Also, cool edit pro became Adobe Audition. And iVista, REALLY!?! Wow, that is just insane! The cultural references in this video are just amazing. Plus, Leo did come back to Call for Help only to be dropped again because of the G4/TechTV merger by parent company Comcast. It is all just amazing to see this stuff from 2001 now in 2009! One word: AMAZING!
Got sad watching James Kim. One never knows how things will end up in life. He was so young and his family very much precious. Here's to a great guy and a good family man.
my faverite times were Call for Help and the ScreenSavers, man I watch these shows every single day, now its freakin stupid G4 took over, took my life way! :(
I'm not sure what they gained from combining the companies.. but they dropped out a bunch of brilliant shows for medicore ones (cept heroes) like cops and cheaters
Yea both G4 and techtv were great channels, puting them together though led to horrible things, now gamers hardly get a channel about games, and geeks don't get their technology needs at all. Comcast sucks.
Comcast destroyed TechTV and replaced with G4TV - the kind of fratboy video nonsense Spike TV would be embarrassed to show. Here's hoping The Lab With Leo gets a US distributor....
G4/Comcast is horrid, I would never get comcast cable just because of what they did to TechTV. I miss this channel so much. You can still get some dose of the late TechTV by listening to Leo's podcasts but its not the same. DAMN YOU COMCAST, I HOPE G4 DIES A HORRIBLE PAINFUL DEATH!!!!
G4 had nothing to do with it. COMCAST (who owns G4) bought TechTV and then merged the two because TechTV was on more cable channels at the time and they wanted to pump G4 into it. I think that both channels suffered.
If you miss Leo, listen to his podcasts. Search for him on iTunes. I love them!
what the ... there's 5 million horrid channels on satelite and cable... how can there be no space for techtv. i hope youtube is the death of broadcast.
I sure miss call for help and the screen savers, enjoy watching these! Thank for posting them

So many memories. Started watching it as ZDTV. Enjoyed it as TechTV. Only watched TechTV programs when it was G4TechTV. Now I don't watch G4 at all.

I love Leo. He should bring this show back on TWiT.
I know "The Tech Guy" is a little bit like this, but he should do another video call in show.

Make sure you see the Poll question. How much would you spend for HDTV. The majority said $500 or less, boy were we wrong back then.

That is why I liked Call For Help and The Screen Savers. The hosts made you feel good about technology because they like it just as much.
