The segment was about three to four minutes long, and had an interview with someone (Alexandria I think, though I'm not good with remembering names, I had to laugh at her little minifig line). They had lots of closeups of various displays, mostly of (...) (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Just saw you guys on Global, nice setup! Oddly enough I just saw a bit about Lego on TLC a few minutes before.

(...) Hi, Larry. Tell you what -- you buy me a new $1000 digital camera, and I'll ensure all future images are not blurry. ;-) Seriously though, those were taken with an ancient Fuji DS-7 (that's only 640 X 480 resolution) without much control over (...)
