I too started watching the show way back when it was Leo and Patrick. I was very leary about the move to G4 and the new hosts Kevin and Alex. However, Kevin and Alex were great! I am truly going to miss Alex and having Kevin on the sidelines just sucks. The new format blows! Major bummer. I too started watching the show way back when it was Leo and Patrick.

I hope that I will be watching Alex, Kevin R, Sarah, Dan, Yoshi, and the rest of the people who made TSS great. I hope you all follow in Leo's footsteps and come to Canada. Bring the real TSS back, Screw G4/techtv take matters in your own hands and make it happen. Whatever happens, I wish you all the best of luck.

I found that you brought out Kevin R's personality more(I find, anyways). I HAD to watch the show every day. Everytime I watched it, I got some good laughs and learned a few new things. It's very sad that you are gone but maybe we'll see you on a better show in the near future? I watched two shows with the new hosts and I dislike it! I havent watched it since and don't plan on it anytime soon! Good job G4 at ruining what you guys had left of a great show!

I would always look forward to watcing Kevin ROSE and Alex chat and make jokes and have a good time in the begening. Every time Dan was on screen there would be an enjoyble moment (the guys making fun or whatever). Sarah was great with her fun tweaks and tips. Yoshi's mods were the best. And now, I dont laugh, I dont look forward to the segments, segments are poorly done and all I can think about is wanting to fast forward. As a big fan of the show, I still will watch, but now It just feels like a chore. Ill miss Alex, yoshi and Dan. Kevin should just screw G4 over and quit in like the middle of a segment, just be like "FuC|< you, Fuc|< you, Fuc|< you, your cool (pointing to Sarah), im out." Then go and focus on making the broken with Dan, Alex should join too. Then hopefully the show will get picked up by a network. Id happly contrubute my hard earned money to make this happen.

What a waste of time. It's nice to see that my opinion of the 2 host haven't changed. Maybe they should get a job at McDonald's? It was about 7:35 and they were taking their first call? I caught a little of Sarah, the only good thing I saw for the 3 minutes I was there. A hint to Kevin and Sarah, start loking for a job now. With those 2 out front TSS will die before the New Year.

I am one of the "older" groupies of TSS and have watched it since it was on Zdnet(I believe that was the station, but old memory drive has some corrupt data..lol). We have 5 TIVO's in our house and every one of them was set to record TSS and Unscrewed every day that they were on. I have taken every show that was on my VHS tapes prior to TIVO, and then every one recorded on TIVO and saved them to DVD. I had a hard time accepting the loss of Leo and was even more saddened when we lost Patrick, but I remained loyal. I had a hard time adjusting to the "new" format and the addition of Alex, but I learned to enjoy the new version as well. I even received compliments from my customers (I played the DVD's all day in my Computer Store) and many would stay longer just to finish watching an episode and then discuss it with me. Well, after seeing the "newer" version and hearing of all the changes, I have to say that Comcast has finally crossed the line. As of tonight my family and i have deleted the "Season Pass" for TSS on ALL 4 TIVO's. Even our 10 yr. old son says the G4 station SUCKS, and he is an avid gamer and computer user. Our oldest son is 13 and he was the first to voice his opinion and displeasure to the change. My wife has a Masters degree in DBA with many certs, and she too agreed we will no longer include G4 in our list of favorite channels. I wish Sarah and Kevin the best, but I we wish the very talented Yoshi, nice guy Dan, and Alex, the guy with a personality the BEST. We are sure they'll land on their feet and we hope that someday TSS will be resurrected to what it once was, after it's rapid death on G4. I hope Sarah and Kevin don’t take this post wrong because none of this was their doing.

Is everyone just going to lay down and let them keep changing a program that most of us have been watching for years? This has to stop. Alex finally made the show interesting for newbies to watch! My wife was begining to understand much about what I said everyday. We should All write to G4 techtv and demand they return the show to its former self. They are creating it for us to watch not for themselves!!!! What is this? Is everyone just going to lay down and let them keep changing a program that most of us have been watching for years?

Alex and Kevin dominated the airwaves as the hosts! Alex I am sorry to see you go, I have now ground my teeth to gums only. I think whomever made the decision to change this show is an idiot(That's not the word I used earlier). The people who are driving the industry are watching this show. I am a converted jock (EECS Grad. U of Michigan) who proudly embraces my nerdism. I love football, hockey, UFC, and The Screensavers! All my tech buff super freak friends discuss this show and all you guys (Alex, Rose, Sara and Yoshi) while talking about sports and politics. One word IMPACT! The drivers also are the buyers so take notice Tech companies, mess with the show dollar signs will go. Rhyming is not good even when venting. All the best to you guys! This change honks my Kong!

If everyone dials in a different channel other than G4 maybe just maybe G4 execs will get the hint. Yeah, I know, I doubt it too. TSS will be just another screaming gamer show. What is there? 12 screaming shows on G4 that review the same games everyday? "If no one watches.......?" Okay, everyone watch CSI on SpikeTV Nov. 29th at 7:00.
