ya kevin is on "attack of the show" its really just the new screen savers. but since g4 bought it it appeals a lot to the young gamer rather then the old show which was mostly old ass leo talking to retired hackers.

TSS really morphed into something not what it was....

I really liked the classic TSS, it was fun listening to this Podcast. Thanks for the link.

Bump.

It appears Kevin Rose left 'Attack of the Show' and G4 all together.

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...35&tid=129

He will be working on Systm a web based tech show. (the site is currently slashdotted though...)

Kevin has been talking about this during the past few TWiT shows. ('Revenge of the Screen Savers' is now 'This week in Tech' - TWiT.)

No point in watching it since Leo left.

The "classic" Screen Savers was podcasted? Isn't podcasting only about a year old?

no, "classic" meaning, the original cast for the screen savers, on TechTV.

Not what is was after leo and pat left.

Ah, I see. I only saw TSS a couple of times before the new hosts, and I was not very impressed. I do enjoy listening to Leo's radio show on occasion, although I heard that he was just cluelessly urging Apple to offer an iTunes subscription plan.

Not that I was a big fan Matin, but he was very cool to have on the show. He was there before Kevin.

I agree, I can't handle a whole show of martin, but he was great in addition to the others.

I actually saw a taping of unscrew and his co-host, Laura, was HAWT! I actually enjoyed unscrew but but preferred the Screen Savers. At one point, I would drop everything to watch the show.

*fists to the sky* Why god, why!
