I haven't listened to the new episodes, but from what I hear, you have to; they're that good.

Unscrewed didn't stack up, as did TSS, so G4 canned Unscrewed and redid TSS for more bands, advertisements, and guests.

Precisely. Comcast owns G4. G4 wasn't on too many carriers (in fact, some Comcast carriers didn't even have G4). TechTV was. Comcast buys TevhTV. All of a sudden, G4 is on a lot more carriers, without actually having to use any of the TechTV programming. It's actually smart business sense (lousy capitalism...).
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: It's sad when the only good gaming show on the gaming network originally came from the tech network (yeah, I still catch X-Play from time to time).
