The top ten video podcasts, just as the title says. I don't know about you but TechTV has become just a bunch of pop culture junk meshed into something that is supposed to be related to technology. Ever since they got rid of the ScreenSavers and Call For Help, TechTV is all but useless. In the top ten list is DL.TV which features none other than Patrick Norton formerely of the Screensavers with his cohosts of a very Screensavers-like show. I watched the first ten minutes of episode 27 and all I can say is, well done, i'm just sad I missed the first 26.

The channel isn't TechTv anymore anyway. Its G4. Most of the guys from the Screensavers and Call for Help appear on This Week in Tech.

#2 - Sun Feb 5, 2006 8:16 PM ESTYeah, sorry, I'm just so used to calling it TechTV. You're right, it is G4 but it will always be TechTV to me. I'll check out CommandN too.
#3 - Sun Feb 5, 2006 8:24 PM ESTThe comment on the cartoon site about the "unnecessary" ending of the Bugs Bunny Cartoon, shows a lack of knowledge of music history. The ending was in the style of a Minstrel Show, the most popular form of entertainment in the US starting near the turn of the century. Although much of the entertainment was demeaning to Blacks, it was, however, one of the first venues that Black performers used to get authentic music and dance and comedy of the Black culture to a wide audience. The great Jelly Roll Morton, a Creole jazz musician and entertainer, often starred in minstrel shows. Some minstrel troupes consisted of an all Black cast.
Minstrel shows continued until the early 60's, when, justifiably so, they died, due to sometimes demeaning portrayal of Black Americans.
#4 - Mon Feb 6, 2006 12:24 AM ESTDon't feel too bad: I didn't check out DL.TV until episode 29. And I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. I hadn't realized how much I really missed The Screensavers.
