Title: Attack of the Game Show
Post by: Speedy G on January 12, 2006, 01:42:51 AM

For the three of you who haven't disavowed all knowledge of the network G4, one of this week's episodes of Attack of the Show featured a segment about a guy who traded up from a single red paper clip.  Within the segment is a satire (http://\"http://www.g4tv.com/videos/index.html?video_key=10349\") of a particular recent game show.

Digging around in the archives turned up a couple other game show-related segments, one (http://\"http://www.g4tv.com/videos/index.html?video_key=10052\") in the second half of the clip and the other (http://\"http://www.g4tv.com/videos/index.html?video_key=10270\") briefly near the end of its clip.

Now if G4 wasn't a steaming pile, I might find this interesting.

Yeah, I can't forgive them for killing Call For Help and The Screen Savers. Or any of the other TechTV-gutting Comcast did for them.

I thought Leo had a show as of a few weeks ago. But apparently, CFH was cancelled in Dec.

I listen to two of Leo's podcasts (the commercial-edited version of his KFI weekend talk show and This Week In Tech), and this matter came up. Apparently he's been doing new episodes of CFH for the Canadian version of G4 (which is still G4TechTV), and G4 in the US has been running repeats for the longest time, and then finally killed it.

He has expressed interest in releasing the show as a podcast, but there's no way that's gonna happen as long as he's in bed with those idiots at Comcast.
