This WAS, in fact, the first episode. I know because I was a subscriber to GamePro at the time, and they hyped the unveiling of this show like it was the second coming of Christ. Airtimes and premiere dates were published for every major urban area, so I knew to be there and have my tape recording at 6:30 in the damn morning on a Saturday. For a week after watching this first episode and feeling totally stoked by it, I turned “Evil dude evil dude CHECK HIM OUT!” into my new catchphrase.

Eventually, after the show’s syndicated run was cancelled, it wound up reappearing as a paid advertisement program. J.D. Roth was the only one left and Brennan was gone, viewers could no longer send in tips or questions, and background music was virtualy non-existant. The most telling element was the 1-800 number which constantly scrolled on the bottom during the new episodes, begging you to subscribe to GamePro – well, that and the “the following is a paid advertisement” announcement that suddenly announced the show’s arrival. I only saw 3 or 4 of the paid ad version episodes before it disappeared from my local station.

Just watched the supposed 3rd episode. Dude, there’s lots more episodes with Brennan, as I recall. I remember the segment “Hot at the Arcades”, they reviewed Dragons Lair 2, and Road Riot 4wd.

I hope you find more B-Man eps on that tape of yours. Post all gamepro episodes, man. I love this! Takes me back.

For the second-to-last boss of Megaman 4, the big Skull Floater thing, I learned to stand motionless under its flame breaths, count “1, 2, 3,” then jump, and shoot it square in the kisser. Thank you GamePro TV.

Then there was Sonic 1, the very first boss… I learned to duck its ball n’ chain in the corners, then, like an immaculate cheapass, hit its underbelly. Thank you Gamepro TV.

A show that made me want Golden Axe II and let me see my first game hero in heart-pocked boxers going up a ladder is a good show indeed, in the grander scheme of things. Thank you Gamepro TV.

May the knowledge and surviving footage be preserved and learned from here, forever more.
