New Chapter Musings

Well, this is it.. my last day at Attack of the Show! Even my desk is all packed up (except for all the crap I didn't want to pack up which is still sitting in a dusty pile for the next victim to inherit).

I've been getting a ton of questions about my depature from G4, my marriage, my world tour, stuff like that. So I thought I'd address a few of your FAQs here.

Q: I understand you're getting married, but why leave the show too? Why can't you have both?

A: Now that Brendan and I are officially growing up and beginning the rest of our lives together, our priorities are changing, too. Going on a world trip is an opportunity most people never have, so we consider ourselves part of a small, very lucky tribe. Obviously, when you go away for over a year, TV goes on without you. And that's ok. I'm proud to be choosing personal enrichment over a paycheck for a little while. Life's for livin!

Q: Where will you go?

A: We're going to be trekking through over 20 different countries. The first six months are already set in stone. We're planning out the second six as I type! When that's finalized, I'll post the details here.

Q: How will you keep in touch with your fans?

A: It starts here at "sarah. word." Which will be going through a facelift very soon, btw. I'm really stoked to experiment with a variety of media as a way to keep in touch with you, whether it be travel tales, photos, video, even podcasting. Some of this stuff will be completely new to me (I believe I've been quoted as saying I'd never start a podcast.. whoopsie), and some techniques will undoubtedly prove more successful than others. It'll be an ongoing project and learning experiment, and a challenge I'm thrilled to take on!

Q: Will you miss Kevin Pereira?

A: Yeah. Kevin is a good friend of mine. I really love that guy, and I thank him for being the best damn co-host ever. I also have no doubt he and I will keep in touch, so I refuse to say goodbye to him. :)

A special shout-out to the folks at AOTS and X-Play (gotta represent the OGs), and everyone in makeup, wardrobe, in the control room, and on the studio floor. These are the people who worked hard every day to make my job look easy. Thanks for the memories, amigos.

Anyway, Brendan's my last AOTS is just a couple hours away, so I better go eat some cake. I'm pretty sure the studio crew members have bets riding on whether or not I'm gonna cry. Tune in for all the fun!

Peace!

Sarah, we'll miss you! For the first time ever, i'm GLAD my sat tv network keeps showing old reruns of AOTS...the times when at the end of the show, on the AOTS couch sat Kevin Rose, Kevin P, Sarah Lane (thats you) and Brandan Moran, and kev P would make fun of brandan's accent...good times, good times. I know you mentioned Malaysia in your plans to travel the world, so come on down to Kelantan, my state. its not a big city like Kuala Lumpur, but I think its worth coming to. Its famous amongst malaysians as a real cheap state. you could get like, 3 times worth here than any other state, plus the ruling party is the opposition! isnt that just perfect for you rebels? oh i know it is. Its an Islamic city so tell Brandan no speedos. please. If you come NOW (or at least before june which is about the time i start college) I'll still be here and me and my friends can show you around! for free! yay!

WHATUP SARAH L. So I'm watch'n my show and the attack thereof and I'm like, "who the mother f is this new broad, and where's Sarah L.?" I mean, the girl's wicked eye-candy but she just don't got the witt of the mighty SL. So I hit the blog and find this. Congrats girl! B-Bop is a cool guy. Brother always seemed to offset Kevin P's A.D.D attacks with a laid back approach to witt and journalism... You guys gotta come back when the year's up, get rid of that will kid. Dude's cool but he seems to piss KP off a little... and shit... the guy's wound up enough as it is (just kidding, KP's gotta be the best host on TV man, serious). Well, sorry for the ramble, but you both deserve it, you're great on the show and I hope when your year of globe-trott'ns up, you'll come back.

Keep the peace and stay outta the middle east... shit's crazy down there sista!

Congratulations on all that you have going for you right now!You will be missed on G4!

The ONLY good about you going (for us) is that G4tv.com will be far more responsive since 50,000,000 ppl won't be streaming your webcam! :)What will all those voyeurs do???!!!

Again, Congrats to you and Brendan!

Hey, best wishes to you and Brendan. AOTS seems so empty without you two. I will miss your witty remarks and Brendan's fear of electric shock. *sigh* that was good tv. But hey "all good things". Just remember on your world wide trek, avoid Cuba, and dont eat anything that is still moving.

You guys are missed.Good luck.Chris

Another sad episode in the annals of AOTS...first Kevin Rose ( ubergeek) then sweet Sarah. At least here in Oz we can rely on Fox to sufficiently jumble the eps of the show so much we'll prolly see Sarah's last show next year. To Sarah I must say thx, it's been fun watching you evolve (Rendan you are one lucky bastard!!!).My wishes go out to the both of you as you embark on the final frontier lol

Omg Sarah, this is like my worst night mare. I found out way too late, only to start up the Feed and see someone who's not you. I understand that you do have a life away from our monitors but I'll miss you so much you and Brendan were the only reasons I watched AOTS. I don't think I can watch it any more. I wish you much luck in your endevors and I hope to see you in other media someday after your wedding shinanagans...
April 12, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterMichael
Awww..Well, I don't know if you've had a chance to watch the show recently, or if you watched it all on when you were on...But the show is awful now...It feels soooo bland...Your humor, wit, personality, and chemistry with Keven are very obviously missing...The feed is lame now...Just like any other Newscast in the country, no humourous sidenotes anymore....BUT aside from the fact that AOTS is dead in my, and many others eyes now...I am very happy for the two of you and I hope you have a great time...(P.S. If aots can survive another 13/14 months you HAVE to come back!! If only once or twice every 1 or 2 weeks...)Good luck!

hey sarah, i am really goingto miss seeing you on tv. you were one of the main reasons i watched the show. you are one of the funniest and most entertaining people on tv! this new girl can't replace you.
April 14, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSean
Congratulations Sarah and Brendan! Since I had to transfer to the U of O, I haven't been able to watch, I finally get a chance to tune in and find all this, wow! I'm so excited for you both. I have to say I've always appreciated Sarah's perspective, shared with us through the Feed, but Brendan, your in the field stuff is true art. That one when you rode the Segue (the scooter thing) by the protest ladies was all time, oh and the book club was awesome. Anyway, what will it cost me to see your new show? My wife has been after me to drop a few channels anyway, you should give us directions on exactly what we need. You two will be in my prayers, OMG I never say that!

Sincerely

Caine

I'm going to go into Sarah Lane withdrawal. Part of the reason I loved the show was seeing all three of you, Kevin, Brandon, Sarah, interact with each other because all three of you had an obvious chemistry and friendship with each other. I hope you and Brendan have kids and live a happy life together. Best of luck on your world tour.

Best of luck to both of you! We are very sad to see both of you guys leaving, but you are going to be starting the best times of your life. AOTS will never be the same, although, my man Kevin P will have to hold up the fort. I can't picture DVDuesday or the Feed being the same without you. You made a very huge positive impact on so many of our lives, I hope you realize that. We looked forward every day to watching what you guys brought to the table. You guys are "real" people and not just actors on some show. You put your hearts into each episode and as viewers we realize that. This show was great for viewers of all ages, Im 32. Thanks for all the great laughs, and times we experienced while watching you. Cheers to your future, we will surely miss you. But please, keep us updated on your blog, and post and write as much as you can.

Hello Sarah I just want to say that you are a sell out and nothing without Kevin Rose Look where he is and where you have gone. I cant say all bad I did like you on TSS before you sold out to G4 the worst damn thing to happen to tv. Anyway have a safe trip and get it together.

Don't Sell Out.

Hey Sarah I just wanted to say that AOTS wont be the same without you and I wanted to wish the best for you and Brendan. I mean the new girl is cool but she will never compare to you. You'll be missed on the show and i hope one day we will see you again on g4.
May 6, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterRyan
Well, I officially have no more reasons to tune into ZDTV/Tech TV/G4 or whatever you want to call it...I remember the good 'ol days of Leo LaPorte and "Call for Help" and "The Screensavers" and watched unique, quality shows and their hosts go by the wayside after the G4 takeover. Sarah was the last good reason to watch a channel that I will now never bother to watch again.Good luck, Sarah! You will be missed!
May 7, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterStephen Jones
Sarah you will me missed greatly.I know that AOTS and G4 will no longer be the same now. First Kevin Rose left now you. Well maybe we will see you back someday.

Good luck on your trip. It sounds like a lot of fun. Not many people get to go on a trip like you are. Well have fun, one things for sure the feed wont be the same.

oh ya. Is there still gonna be a damn good download.
May 8, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterKris
It was a joyous routine of mine to watch aots everyday. Because I think that you, kevin, and brendan are hillarious! Then I stopped watching it for a few months, and when I began watching it again, I noticed that this new girl was on the show. I was hoping so badly that you would show up on the show again, and it saddened me when I found out you would no longer be on the show. I will miss those gems of the internet. haha. :) well, i wish you and brendan the best in life. have fun.

You were among the cast on TechTV that had both a personality and was actually knowledgable about electronics, your diction was also excellent. I don't watch the channel very often without you and a few of the other former cast members.
