(COOLLIST) Television is an occasional television program airing on Austin Community Television. It is loosely based on a e-mail list I run called (COOLLIST).
The first episode, "Prototype", aired a few times in late December 1995 and early January 1995. It ran a few more times in mid-February, as I discovered when I got a call at 1 A.M. asking me about the video game reviews. My second episode, "Error Message", aired in April and May.

So far, I've gotten several phone calls about my second episode. A 17-year old girl called once and we chatted about Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and the Kids in the Hall. I also got a series of calls from pre-teens in Northwest Austin, culminating with the Song That Never Ends. Video game collectors and sellers have also enjoyed the show, and it is notorious in Atlanta among certain groups.
Apparently, ACTV decided to show it some more in October 1996, and I got one e-mail. To quote, "I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your show the other night and I'm looking forward to catching another exciting episode!" Cool!
