The Lab with Leo Laporte starts taping in Vancouver today. 15 shows are being taped from now till Friday and you can catch a shot of the studio webcam at labwithleo.com during taping. The first show will air on G4 TechTV on April 22/07 as a replacement to Call For Help which concluded in January.
I enjoyed watching call for help.
I would record em and FF to parts that were on interest to me. With the new name are they not taking calls any more?
Ill tune in and see how the show is. Will take some time getting used to it. The other people on call for help made it what it was and with out mike and amber I wonder how good it will be.
Strangely I think that we may get the short end of the stick in canada.
It's shot in HD and it will probably not broadcast here in that format.
Leo will bring along all his usual contributers so it will be hard for it not
to be interesting. As far as I know they will still be taking calls from viewers.
It would be nice if they would be on discovery or some other HD channel as
I would like to dump G4Techtv. Aside from leo, and olivia munn I am tired of
their content. Repeatx-play is even getting old.
Kevin Rose was never the host for Call For Help. Leo hosted it the most followed by Chris Pirillio. Kevin Rose hosted the other computer show called The Screensavers with many hosts but Leo still hosted that show the most if I recall correctly. The Screensavers is now Attack Of The Show.
jacksparrow: I think he meant it in a generic way by choosing hardware/software and not building a computer per say. It might be on ScreenSavers or the old Call For help(US). I don't recall for the Canadian version unless I missed that one.
ninty: It might be a shorter traveling time. He could save a few days over a year. He has a family and a young teenage daughter and may want to keep a eye on the young "bucks" that are near her.
So this show starts on Sunday then? Let's hope it's more in-depth like the screensavers used to be. I am not a big fan of CFH, it's so different with all the setup, the high emphasis on macs. Bring back the old banther between Kevin, patrick and leo and the girls of course
wow. what a crappy production. REALLY amateurish.
I am VERY disappointed , but I hope they do MUCH better down the road (hopefully well ahead of a cancellation decision)
The Lab is shot in HD. They have to convert the HD to SD in order for G4TechTV to air it. They had some technical problems in doing this which resulted in the darkness. During this month's shoot cycle (episdoes 16-30) they made some adjustments which apparently has corrected it.
Tip: turn up the brightness on your television set.
I think you guys are overstating this a bit. yes, it's a little dark, but unwatchable? Hardly.
