TVIP?

Wow. I just unearthed this blast from the past from the depths of the Internet Archive. This show, The Internet Cafe – later named Net Cafe, was a show that aired on television that talked about the web and all that you can do with it. It ran throughout the latter half of the ‘90s and bled into the early 2000s. I watched it on a local PBS affiliate and tried to watch this show as much as I could, which is weird because I already had the Internet at home, so I don’t know what benefit I got from it. Maybe I was just a tech nerd and had an obligation to watch anything and everything tech related on TV.
Looking back, even though the subjects they talked about were interesting and they got great guests for the show, I just realized just how bad at interviewers the hosts were! More specifically, this one with an interview with Tim Schafer was especially cringeworthy. He kept interrupting Tim, asked him questions that might make him look bad, and was just all over the place without any sort of direction. Even so, this show is still a neat treasure of information of how things were back then.
