#132 The Revenge of The Screen Savers

Four original cast members of TechTV's signature program The Screen Savers have reunited. The audio-only webcast, recorded by Leo Laporte with Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose and Robert Heron on conference call retains the unrepentant geek flavor of the show. For those not keeping score, The Screen Savers show was gutted (as was most of the TechTV staff) when Comcast purchased the network and combined it with their video game channel G4.

This, the first of many planned broadcasts, is an entertaining and conversational discussion of cell phone carriers, communication etiquette, noise cancelling headphones and, most interestingly, an earnest post-mortem of the show they all were a part of.

Not surprisingly, G4 has already reminded Norton and company that they plan to retain use of The Screen Savers name.
