Goodbye Computer Chronicles.

After twenty years, the worlds longest running television program dedicated to computers and computing technology has been canceled.

Wow, that show is almost as old as me. Goodness! I remember them reviewing the first computer encyclopedias, it was on a laser disc. I never really thought that it would end. Yeah, it was little more than a platform for free advertising for the products that they “reviewed”. However, I am still sad to see it go. :frowning:

It would be really cool if you were able to dig up some of the really old episodes of that show. Imagine seeing in-depth television reviews of TRS-80s, Commodore PETs, and some nutty new little program called Windows.

I’ll miss the host’s ridiculous combover and the super cheesy theme music.

Hey, leave Stewart Cheifet alone! He was a great host!

I watched this show constantly from about 92 to 97 until my PBS station stopped carrying it. I’ll never forget watching a half dozen software billionaires (Gates included) participating in those god awful quiz shows they did once a year (imagine a really bad, really really cheap cable access game show!)

I’m surprised TechTV didn’t pick it up.

It was a great show.

I remember a couple of things from early shows that impressed me at the time - Captain Crunch, color palette cycling on the Amiga.
