Overall I thought it was pretty good (I was especially glad they paid due credit to Alexy Pajitnov for creating the best puzzle game ever).  My only complaint? It only went up to the release of the Gameboy! They spent too much time talking about Codemasters and completely missed the whole SNES/Genesis Nintendo/Sega war, the N64/PSX war where Sony took over the industry, and the current generation.

At least they talked about Zelda's origins, though.

I also caputed a video of the show about just Miyamoto and Nintendo and its about 22.2 MB.  Again, if anyone wants to host just this, let me know.

Seeing this show only made me want to watch more videogame-releated programming on tv. All the suddenly, i feel like getting G4 all over again. (even though i heard that channel is superficial and is hosted by people who seem like they never played any games.)

Thanks to OrangeLazarus everyone can now download the entire game program of Miyamoto on TV from my server here:
http://www.virtual-boy.org/Gameheadz_on_TLC[XviD].avi (99MB)
Although it didn't work for me (I keep getting a blurry view, anyone know why?), you will need the following codec to view the .avi file properly:
http://www.roeder.goe.net/cgi-bin/fetch?file=XviD-04102002-1.exe
Both of the links are safe to download from, as I checked them with the latest updates from McAfee.
Enjoy the show

I watched the show...it was OK.  It honestly didn't say anything I didn't know already.  For those that enjoyed it, I'd suggest reading "Game Over: Press Start to Continue" by David Sheff.  It's an amazing book that provides a very detailed chronicle of the history of video games up to about 1996.  It includes everything that was in this show and a whole lot more.

The story of how Nintendo got Tetris is worth the price of the book alone.

Yes they seemed to have covered everything that I basically knew about Nintendo, they did fill in some minor details here and there. I think its a series of documentaries some one should check to see if a game heads in on TLC next week.

Nintendo, the link wouldn't work for me....  I assume that you have taken it off your server already?  I would like a digital copy for my own personal archive...  I guess I missed out.

And I really can't wait for this week's show.  It didn't say anything that I hadn't already been aware of to some degree, but it is fascinating all the same.  This show could really be a hit with gamers.  I wonder if anyone has told Tycho and Gabe about it yet?

It felt like it was missing an hour, or that it was the start of a series (but I don't see it scheduled for the same time next week).

But what was there was good. They just really skipped some major things, and stopped quite early on. I'd love it if they were commissioned to do a full series of it by TLC, though.

You're right....

Here's the link to TLC's customer support.

Let's all hassle them to make more Gameheadz.

It is still online. I think you'll have to use Download Accelerator (DAP) if you want to be able to download it.

hey nintendo, I can't seem to access that file. Have you taken it off the server or is it just me? If someone could give me a link to download it from I would be really grateful. I live in the UK so I can't watch it but from what you guys have been saying it sounds really good and I'd like to watch it.

I saw this program bieng advertised on Australian and New Zealand discovery channel. It's on the 23rd of August, 7:30PM NZT, which is 5:30 in most parts of Aussie, I think.
