Hey!

I remember seeing a documentary about Atari mostly, but I forgot the name.

Besides, there must be a lot more programs like that.

Any advice? how about that Joysticks movie? would like to see that :)

Its as bad as you think it might be--some parts I actually cringed and was embarassed for the actors...
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

The old ICONS show on G4 was great, IMO.  It's now called 'Game Makers', I believe.  ICONS now has it's focus on pop-culture personalities like J. J. Abrams and The Suicide Girls.  ???

I can only get audio on the HGTV incredible basements.  Any idea how to get the video to work?

That's unfortunate. Up here in Canada we still have a hybrid channel called G4 Tech TV. They still play Icons, and even Call For Help with Leo Laporte(filmed right here in Toronto!)
NO MORE!!

Canada has it good! Even if call for help wasn't as good as O.G. Screensavers, or even the Partrick/Leo era.

I used to drive past the old techtv studio every day on my way to work and even spotted Leo a few times in the city. I only get to hear him on TWiT these days, pssh :\
