Computer Show, originally named Video Blog, started in early 2009 with "Our First Video". The webseries centered around relatively short (2-5 minutes) videos parodying American pop culture, politics, and social media, or otherwise cleverly commenting on such issues. Background music was made by the couple themselves for the fear of getting their videos flagged for copyright and taken down. This lead to subscribers asking where they could buy their music, and thus the band Mars Argo was born, releasing their debut album Technology is a Dead Bird late in 2009.

  • Computer Show, originally named Video Blog, started in early 2009 with "Our First Video". The webseries centered around relatively short (2-5 minutes) videos parodying American pop culture, politics, and social media, or otherwise cleverly commenting on such issues. Background music was made by the couple themselves for the fear of getting their videos flagged for copyright and taken down. This lead to subscribers asking where they could buy their music, and thus the band Mars Argo was born, releasing their debut album Technology is a Dead Bird late in 2009. In an interview with Wondering Sound, the duo says that they never intended for Computer Show to be the only series on the channel, but rather for grocerybag to become a network with several series running at once. In 2012 they moved to Los Angeles, CA to expand their horizons musically and channel-wise and began meeting with executives and producers to start working on their own TV show. From descriptions of it, the show was going to be similar to that of Yo Gabba-Gabba (though Titanic prefers comparing it to Pee-Wee's Big Adventure) that could teach children about music and art along with featuring up-and-coming artists. However, this never got to happen. Sometime in 2014 or early 2015, Mars Argo and Titanic Sinclair broke up. This caused not only the end of the band but of the channel as well. The last Computer Show uploaded was "Day of Retribution''. According to Titanic, Sometime after the breakup Mars supposedly changed the password to all accounts related to the band, effectively locking Titanic out. She then deleted the majority of the videos on their channel, leaving only "Delete Your Facebook" and the music videos for their songs Runaway Runaway and Using You. Many fans now collect and reupload the deleted videos in an attempt to restore their art.
