The Longest Day of My Life

I am glad to know that you made it home safely, I was kinda worried about you in the last couple hours. I wanted to thank you Chris for your efforts, I watched all 18hrs to support you, but I have to say I now HATE most of the commericals that TechTV now airs. I have seen them too many times yesterday! Go sit back and relax my friend you have earned it!

Maybe the help-a-thon could be an every 6 months thing? maybe? well, I have a cap for every 10 seconds of the help-a-thon…you'll be getting it soon :-) You did awesome Chris. I still have yet to go to sleep *37 hours and counting*

Good job Chris and crew! It really was a unique program to watch, and watch, and watch… :) Definitely a high point in Techtv history.

The show was AWESOME Chris! I only made it for about 12 of the 18 hours, but I enjoyed every minute of it. Great job!

I'm thinkin' an annual CFH-a-thon would be great. You did a great job, I watched the whole thing. :)

You did good, babe. Real good. I swear I have a blister on my dialing finger trying to get through…hope you got my voicemail message!

Both my wife and myself have blisters as well trying to get through. Ah well. It was a great show and was glad to have something good to watch on tv late at night.

hey chris, good job dude,
watched the whole thing from start to finish…greta job..hope that there is another one next year.

Chris, you are my hero. Anyone who can do a show for 18 hours straight is a hero in my book.

Chris, you did an excellent job. Proud of you man!

I watched 12 of the 18 hours live and will be catching what I missed on my tivo over the next week. You did an awesome job and I think the CFH-a-thon should be a yearly event.

I'm proud of you, Chris. You did it.

Chris, you did an outstanding job and I don't think theres a soul on the planet who could have done better. I managed to watch about 14 of the 18 hours and I was exhausted just watching. :) Again great job by all those involved and I hope it happens next year.

Chris you did a terrific job yesterday. I watched all 18hrs. I also called in.

Chris,
The call for help a thon was great! I haven't been this excited about TechTV in years! I wateched all 18 hours (mind you the last 2 were on tape), and I have all but the first hour on tape!
You all did a remarkable job, and I felt it when the guy from drive savers dropped the Edison Record. My jaw was on the floor!
Anyways, it never got on the air, but I made a CFH A Thon Wallpaper (click my name)

I e-mailed you saying this:
\it was very fun especially when you had that laugh attack it sure was funny I was laughing so hard I almost peed (I hope i wrote it right) my pants man it was hilarious, and Chirs good work so we have to see another one, may you have a Happy New Year with friends and family.

Chris you've got stamina. The show was amazing, save for the guy dropping the Edison cylinder (saddest thing I ever saw on Tech TV). You all deserve big bonuses.

Chris, awesome job, that was by far, the best show on TTV I have ever seen. This should definetly be an annual show.

Chris, you did a good job on the show. I was up all 18 hours it was good and enjoy it a lot. Hope that you have good New years!!

Welcome back to the land of the living, so how long did you sleep after all of that insanity? I only got to catch a few hours of it, a couple in the afternoon and then the last hour and a half. Very cute onesie ;)
Where's the sign up list for people wanting a tape of it? Someone on the message boards last night suggested that TechTV offer a DVD of it. I think that'd be a great idea!
Congrats and all that on surviving.

Awesome 18 hrs. I watched the whole 18 hrs, and couldn't believe how fast the time flew by. Hope this becomes a annual event.

Chris - i've been a fan of yours for a long time now (been subscribed to your Lockergnome lists and have read yours and Gretchen's blogs on and off) and even though i only caught about 3 hours of the Call-for-Help-a-thon, i commend you for a job well done. i appreciated all the humor and the helpful tips and tricks! congrats! :)

Chris, that was just awesome. You deserve a raise. Hope you have a good weekend.

Wonderful job with the show. Best 18 hours of TV ever!!! Hope to see this more often!

You did great, Chris! :) I saw alot of it live and taped the whole thing to watch during the week. I too hope this will be an annual event!

You did an awesome job Chris! I checked in yesterday morning, and early afternoon to see if you had blogged yet. It's my guess that you were too tired to blog right away. ;-)
Like Jazy said, it was exciting! I too have not been as excited about programing on TechTV as I was the Help-A-Thon! I hope TPTB realize that what a lot of us viewers want, is more tech, more help questions answered, more interactivity on the shows! I'm hoping this is a sign that things are looking up at TechTV!
Congrats on surving the whole thing and doing an awesome job Chris!!!

Chris you did a great job with the the Call-For-Help-A-Thon! I only watch about 2 hours when it just began but I did listen to the audio stream all day (and night). Some moments on the show were rather freaky! I didn't know you were such a Weird Al fan! Again, great job and have a happy new year…

Chris you did a great job on the Call For Help-a-thon. I hope this is a permanent thing on TechTV every year.

I watched most of the show and also taped all 18 hours. I also wanted to say that I loved the show and liked the special moments like the surprise phone calls and the laugh attack.

Awesome job, Chris. I hope that some of the people who got new computers for Christmas managed to watch some of it as there was a lot of help given throughout the 18 hours that could have benefited new computer owners, especially. I started laughing right along with you when you had your 'punchy' moment and couldn't stop either. Don't you love a good laugh like that? Something about it is actually cleansing!
Hope you have recovered and caught up on your sleep. Kudos, Chris!

The show was great! You did an awesome job!

Chris,
You did a more than wonderful job on the CFHelp-a-Thon! We watched 15 Hrs & taped the rest as we didn't want to miss anything.
It was the Best Show TechTV has aired, ever!!!! We are viewers for over 2 years.
Show was relaxed & flowed well. The content was perfect & a good mix of people showing Helpful How-To segments.
Plus answers to callers that were not so doggoned rushed.
It's the way TechTV CFH should be all the time.
No extra sillyness & games that don't help anyone. (The bloopers were extra funny however….& not staged, which made them great!] ;-)
Thanks to All of you who did an extra fantastic job!
And Thanks to Paul Block & TechTV for letting you do the show.

Chris, let me join the many kudos to your effort. Whom ever you had to bribe to get 18 hours of airtime, it was well worth it. You not only dazzled them with your savy, but also made it a showplace for the other memebers of the team. I didn't get to enjoy all 1080 minutes; probably closer to 882 without commercials, but you pulled it off in grand style!

I would love it if they would do a Help-A-Thon every year!

I hope you get paid by the hour, Chris!

You did a phenomenal job Chris! I was unable to sit still for 18 hours but know you have all my support from Maryland!
