It's amazing you've managed to accomplish this dream. To mold a network, beyond that of those longing for TechTV, is a staggering feat. I am now able to view more compelling, honest conversation and discussion on the matters of technology, expanding to a grander view of its effect on society. Best of all, I can view this content coming from knowledgeable, established names, that understand the details and inner workings, laying the framework in our minds. I wouldn't say that I'm happy for your past loss, but your network has come to a greater fruition. You once served to help people with Windows, but now you help people understand matters greater, changing your corner of the world.

Keep going Leo, and I guess you are from the sounds of it. I really miss your show on TV. I'm going to tune into TWIT. I really love your Deconstructing TV idea. What I can't believe is that there is no room for you on TV with all the satellite-cable channels.

I'm not sure I can cope without you, Leo. What a tremendous help you've been over the years! Now that I have a DVR I could watch you whenever I had a mind to and fast forward over stuff that I already know or that doesn't apply. (ref. comment above) With the DVR some of these shortcomings of TV are being overcome.... and then off you go! No! No! No!

Can't wait Leo. I have listened to every TWiT since the 1st podcast plus all the Cranky Geeks TiVoCasts and much, much more. Keep up the great work!

Great stuff, everything you're involved in.

One request: please make it so I can stream the show over TVersity to my PS3.

That'd be great.

Great news Leo! I love your podcasts on the Twit network and would love to donate. But I don't like Paypal so as soon as you accept any other form of donation, I'm in :)

Keep up the good work!

Leo, I would so welcome having you back on any screen again teaching me more about technology. The one thing I would request though is a show dedicated to a very few specific subjects where you teach beginner/intermediate users various computing tasks, like networking two computers in a home wirelessly, or the basics of setting up your first web page (IN LAYMAN'S TERMS). I already know some of the basics, but I'd like to be educated on more advanced things too.

Your shows are great, but are, much like your brain, very frenetic. You skip a lot of things when you're helping newbies and I can tell that when they hand up the phone, they aren't going to be able to do what you've told them because they don't know what you were talking about.

Please use the TV network as a way to really plan and script some things so that there is some semblance of a product and not just a lot of talking. Also, what would be great is to kill the first 10 minutes spiel of the call for help style show where you give the same "I'm excited about technology" speech each week.

I'd love to see a video version of TWiT. I watch Dvorak's CrankyGeeks quite a bit on Tivo using it's downloadable feature, I'd love it if TWiT could get on that as well.

I guess I'm 100-something comments late on this, but hey, better late than never.

Deconstructing TV is the right way to go. You KNOW how to do TV, and you know the results that await (good and bad). We don't know what will happen in the new thing (whatever we end up calling it). We know Pirillo and Scoble and Jeff Pulver and all kinds of interesting folks are trying things.

I'm going to bank some of my money on your horse in this race. Knock 'em dead, Leo.

Farewell to the Lab: "...Itâ€™s a pity that a tech show like The Lab, which covers a wide variety of topics and doesnâ€™t talk down to its audience, couldnâ€™t survive -- or even get U.S. distribution. Fortunately, Leo isnâ€™t standing still, and plans to launch an online version of the show in the next few weeks from his studio in Petaluma, California..."

Sounds great! I can't wait for this to get off the ground.

Leo, I wish you the best for the future.

Have a you considered doing something like - photoshop user TV but long the lines of lab with leo or call for help.

I would call Scott Kelby and see what you could produce and continue your great show on the web- Rogers can go to hell !! G4 TV is filled with smutt and garbage TV- I will be cancelling G4 as well.

Leo you are the best !!!

This is what I've been waiting for ever since you left TSS! I just hope that you tape all the live shows and make them available for download as video podcasts. Ideally, you could work something out with TiVo (like the guys on Cranky Geeks and DL.TV did) so that I can get them automagically (either through them or via the ï£¿TV). :)

Best of luck with the new studio!

Barry Edwards — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:23:54 -0000

Great vid tour, Leo. Keep us apprised with new vids as you build out your studio. I'm excited about your new venture launching and can't wait to see more video!

James M — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 14:46:46 -0000

I was an avid Screensavers watcher, bought an MP3 player just to listen to all your podcasts and follow you as much as possible on your various sites. This new chapter will be fantastic and I plan to be there as a viewer and supporter throughout. Good luck!

Congratulations on a long and successful run, Leo. I've been a fan ever since Call for Help started screening in Australia and I've learned so much from you over the last few years. You made technology simple to understand and watching you, Amber and Sean became part of my routine every day. I'm sad to see it end with The Lab's cancellation but I look forward to following you online. Can't wait for TWIT Live! I'm sure it will be successful and break new territory. The future of TV is online and it's great to see you at the forefront of it. Thanks for the memories and all the best in your future endeavors.

Can't wait Leo I found you again a year and a half ago. Ever since then your podcast have been a constant form of both entertainment and education.

CAN'T WAIT FOR TWIT LIVE

Re: The Next Chapter

Lola — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:43:29 -0000

I think video is a great idea! I hope you do offer some videos (expecially Twit Live) for download because I won't be home during the day to catch the live versions (and I'm too much of a twit--literally--to remember to watch the radio shows on the weekends). Also the idea of outtakes shows is great--though I love longer-length videos (a la Revision3's Tekzilla and Dvorak's Cranky Geeks) there are times when I just want to take a break for a few minutes and watch something short (like most of CNet's videos).

Thank you, Leo! I've been a fan since '99!

Hi Leo,
I have missed your ideas and suggestions since the screen savers went away. I really enjoyed your show and watched most every day. i have not found a substitute for that show yet. I would like to watch the new show you are talking about above. But what is a podcast. I don't have any ipod and likely never will so that means i can't watch your new show. i thought an ipod only play sounds and music anyway so how could it show video stuff? I guess I'm behind on tech stuff now that the screen savers isn't around to keep me up to date. I hope to find a way to see your podcast. let me know how to do that.
Thanks.
Tom

Awesome, I have missed you since TechTv went and ZDTV! I loved those shows! And now I can get a fix, like coffee in the morning LOL

Leo, I know you don't have an actual show up and running yet, but, could you please set up a feed to subscribe to in iTunes so that I can have it subscribed before you do get everything rolling. I want to get the new feeds as soon as you start.

Thanks for all you do!

Jim
