I hate you Tom Merritt!
Yesterday, I was surfing the ol’ World Wide Web and I came across a tweet linking to this video.
The Screen Savers was, in my humble opinion, the best tech show that every made it to TV. The chemistry of the people and the energy that eminated from the fact that show aired live made it something unique.
And old alum of the show, Tom Merritt (currently working at CBS owned CNet), uploaded this full episode of the show for everyone’s enjoyment.
Well, that did it for me. For the next 40 minutes I was glued to my laptop screen watching this 8-year old episode of the show.
This was the first time, that I know of, anyone has uploaded and entire episode (in good quality too) of this show online for people to watch.
Whenever I see clips of this show it brings back all the great memories, but also it gets me depressed. It’s like looking at old pictures of long lost friends that have passed on. Now, I know that you aren’t dead, but that one special moment in time will never be recreated ever again, even if you were all in the same room, it just wouldn’t be the same.
I like Tom Merritt, but after watching this episode he got me upset at him. Damn you Tom Merritt, damn you straight to the fiery pits of Packard Bell!
(P.S. Tom – if you have anymore of these episodes that you can upload, please let me know, I’d love to watch them too!)
Thanks for the link! I miss the show too. I think that there are a bunch of old shows on YouTube though the quality is not the same. I can’t get into my YouTube account at work so you will have to search for it.
Happy watching!
