    Love the DIY shows. Pity they killed things like "Working' on the Railroad" in favor of going all hammers and nails.

    I watched it religiously for quite awhile. Always thought Leo was gay. The information on the show was pretty good, but sometimes I wanted to be the call-in and say "that's incorrect... this is how you should do it". Some things were so basic, and others were probably too high-end for the show. I did enjoyed the interviews and most of the discussions.

    Isn't G4 the video game network? or whatever its called nowadays? Cops 2.0..with crawling text at the bottome from people texting...lol. Ninja warrior! haha

    I still get G4 if it's the same channel...but it's got some really dumb stuff on it now. With the exception of Ninja Warrior..that show just makes me laugh, now if I only knew Japanese..

    Sirscrapalot - Isn't a fan of much tv, but does get a kick out of Ninja Warrior.

    I LOVED TechTV! I liked Call for Help because they were always doing some sort of extreme demonstration like when they overclocked a Pentium 2 CPU to 4.1 Ghz and when they built that 6-mile wifi antenna using a Pringles can. Some of the stuff that they did bordered along the lines of legality but nevertheless, it was a great show.

    I guess the interest in the show started to die when everyone was ditching their PC's for handheld devices.
