[edit] About the show
A typical Call for Help episode begins with Amber singing "Green Acres" while running down the streets of downtown Back-of-the-woods. Then, the hosts are introduced, and they break open a couple bottles of Jack Daniels. After this point, calls are typically taken (although on special theme episodes like "How to be a Script Kiddie", "Pokemon Hacks", or "Warez 101", calls may not be taken). These calls run the gamut, from hacking wireless access points, to safe warez sites for the whole family, to how to get free money by hacking Paypal, to how to use Kazaa without being sued by the RIAA. Sometimes, they feature interviews with technology visionaries such as operators of various topsites, well-known leet hackers, and Nigerian 419 scammers. Call for Help is currently one of the most popular shows on TV, behind only Survivor 26 - American Nightmare and Spanish-language infomercials.
