    Oh my God why isn’t Stewart still on TV? Also the 80s and 90s I was so frustrated trying to catch episodes of this show on PBS and thank God for the Internet and RUclips I finally got to watch all the missing episodes and everything! God bless Stuart And Gary for everything that they taught us through the computer chronicles a legacy for all times.

    A hug to Stewart Cheifet, I know you went to Portugal a few years ago, there are two videos on Computer Chronicles, a nice person and that makes the programs pleasant to hear.

    It is unfortunate that the Computer Chronicles was never shown in our country, however watching the replays in YT, there is a feeling of nostalgia having experience that era of the technology way back.

    I hope when the fateful day comes that Stewart Cheifet gets all the praise he deserves from every tech site, tech award, and tech business he deserves. Loved this guy and his show, and the influence he had that made other later tech shows so good.
    He deserves to be a industry hero.

      RIP Gary Kildall and the events surrounding his death. He was Cheifet's great co-host/ right hand man and was sorely missed on the show.
      Also... Stewart's Twitter account has had no posts since November 2021. I hope that he is still doing well.

    I watched Computer Chronicles from the mid 1980's to the early 2000's. I looked forward to each new episode every week, just to see what new tech was being reviewed. Today, there's thousands & millions of tech reviews on just RUclips alone, but it basically started with Stewart & he set the precedent for this type of tech/computers news format.

    I would love a modernized version (maybe on RUclips?) where Stewart just talks about new tech and his thoughts on it. Or maybe he can invite the creators of the tech and do interviews, like in computer chronicles. Somewhat like the format of this video.

I did grow up with atari, commodore and a 386 as my first pc and i started tinkering with a 486. I absolutely love the nostalgia of the series! I think it's about time to re-watch it!

    Ahh man, he's really starting to get old compared to how he was just 5 years ago being interviewed in 2015 by TMCrole. Stewart seems to have also removed alot of stuff from that room he's in there, compared to how it was in there 5 years ago. An incredibly rare opportunity missed here with basic questions and nothing in depth asked. Wasted.
