Leo Laporte Gets Pwned By Search Engine

swampgirlsays...

You're seeing the Spike tv version of what once was a decent fledgling channel about computers and technology. ZDTV. It didn't take long before it was picked over, forced into the mold and changed into the crap you see today. G4 was a channel just for games that merged ...or assimilated is a better term with ZDTV. G4 eventually won out.

Totally agree about G4 comments... Leo is doing a Canadian version of Call for Help - someone is BitTorrenting it, tracker is here. BTW guys, Amber MacArthur is really cute. From the FAQ-

Is this the Canadian Call for Help?
Yes.

**Is it legal to download these?
Maybe, maybe not. I am not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV. You should look into the laws in your own country if in doubt. Although they are all aware of its existence, this site is in no way officially connected with G4techTV Canada, Rogers Communications, G4 US, Comcast Communications, Leo Laporte, or anyone else connected with the show.

What happened to Call for Help? Why is it in Canada now?
G4techTV Canada now produces the show at their station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They bought the rights to it after it was canceled in the aftermath of the G4 & TechTV "merger" in the US, and were able to get Leo back as host. Leo flies to Toronto once per month and spends a week taping a month's worth of shows with his new co-hosts, Andy Walker and Amber MacArthur.

What's the difference between G4techTV Canada and G4 in the US?
G4techTV Canada is operated independently from its US counterpart and have little to do with each other. They share a name only to avoid confusion when watching the US-sourced programming. The Canadian station persists in their desire for tech-related programming rather than game-related programming. If Call for Help proves successful for them, and indications are apparently good, they may begin to produce other new tech shows.
