Poll: G4...What happened?

[Julianking93]

I miss Cheat(not CheatERS, Cheat).

What happened to the guy who hosted it first? I think his name was Cody something...

Then that Kristen Holt started up and she was okay, but now its just down to a 2 minute segment on X-Play.

By the way, why did she change her last name? Did she get married or something? Its Kristen something now.

Wait, you guys still get EP? That was canceled in the US back in 05 or 06. You have absolutely nothing to complain about, that's a great schedule.

I certainly don't complain about a new EP every day with recaps on the weekends. You can see all their shows on line @ www.elecplay.com [http://www.elecplay.com/]

I remember when instead of Cops and Cheaters, they had video game tournaments and talk shows, and Attack of the Show and X-Play were in their prime. The talk shows were a little boring, but I'd prefer that over the current G4 any day.

 

[Cortheya]

I only watch X-Play.

This...I think that shows like Cops and Cheaters are stupid.

 

[wwjdftw]

G-4 can kiss my ass after they cut code-monkeys i loved that show more than south-park, hell you could even say it was edgier than south-park. Wtf is up with 15 hours of cops/cheaters then one block of ATOS/X-play which they cram so much into a 1 hour block they practically set the show on fast forward to fit it into the time slot.

I want the original G4 back. the GOOD G4. and TechTV as well.

Anime Unleashed introduced me to some amazing series that helped change my outlook on things (thank you Tech TV, never would have seen SEL or Gatekeepers without ya). G4's portal was hands down my favorite show for its run... Then it gets canned, we get a hackneyed ending, and then nothing to commemorate its greatness. I want DVDs. I want something! What about Icons? the real icons, before it became pop culture central and then canceled? I learned stuff from that show I still haven't heard anywhere else.

Network decay like this is what made me stop watching TV. This husk is nothing but a mockery. they should have at least buried the corpse by changing the name. The way it is now, to me its an acid spit in the eyes to the fans of both original networks good programming, sitting there on strings going "im G4, believe me! all gamers like cops and cheater reruns times infinity!" sure... and I suppose cartoon enthusiasts like shows about kids winning money on roller coaster rides!

.. oh wait.

 

[kemosabi4]

I miss Bob and Steve...

 

[AyaReiko]

Where's the "It always fucking sucked, what else is new?" option?

G4 always was and still is the ball crud of cable TV. Unfortunately, they took out the far superior TechTV in their race to oblivion.

 

[BoxCutter]

In all honesty I don't have a huge problem with the new one, though I do miss the shows like Cheat!, Filter, and Icons. The old G4 will always hold a special place in my heart as the first gaming channel I stumbled upon.

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

Apparently I am the only one to have discovered G4 in its current form. However I still agree with the lot of you because while I never got to experience those golden years I am still very agitated with all this bullshit programming that belongs on crap like fox or Trutv.

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

X-play used to be about reviews now it's just previews and stuff what the hell?

I know! It used to have at least 3 reviews each episode and then the rest was filled up with sketches or their characters. Now, its just video game news that no one cares about and no jokes what so ever.

I miss Drunk Link and The Ratty Hand Puppet.

Okay while they are less funny I do like the fact that they put the game news on there, as I would be lost and completly uninformed without it... They do the real life achievments every now and again though, maybe that notion has gotten into there head as of late.

 

[Tartarga]

i miss the old days back when x-play did skits all the time

 

[ProjectileVomit]

X-Play isn't even worth watching anymore. The entire channel is now a steamy pile of turd.

 

[Aura Guardian]

I miss Bob and Steve...

Here dude. Remember the good times.

 

[geon106]

Are there any good online game tv channels that you can stream for free?

 

[Green Tentacle]

Well, the president of G4 said that he would love to have more gaming shows on there but the problem is or what he says that it costs too much money to have Gaming shows on there. But if I really want Gaming News, Ill go here.

 

[thiosk]

I agree, I fail to see how rerunning cops 2.0 for one 12 hours, and cheaters for the other 12 hours is bring them more money than producing good original content.

I agree with this.

and also the new show "web soup" is a rip-off of comedy central's "Tosh.0" and I can't stand "cheaters". What does that have to do with video games?

a bit off topic, but, i really like this tosh.0

 

[Anarchy In Detroit]

Cheaters? Lame. I live in Detroit, if I wanted to listen to fat black chicks yell at their boyfriends I betcha I could see it live.

Cops? I kind of like cops. Watching police beat on people with mullets is always at least guaranteed to entertain me on occasion.

Attack of the show is barely tolerable. I guess I hate how that Kevin dude thinks he's the shit. You know, one of those people who thinks they know everything but doesn't know shit (and has an annoying speech impediment)? I stopped watching when in the course of some dumb random joke he said something like people who buy american cars are racist. No Kevin, I buy American because it keeps my friends employed. Tool. And whats with all the talk about cell phones? Do other people actually give a fuck about their cell phones and I didn't notice? Oh whoopy doo it has a camera!!! Pssssssh. Call me when it's water and damage resistant you yuppie.

X-Play? Never liked it. It used to be funny on occasion but at the end of the day I just want a video game review. I can look most of those up on the internet and save time. Maybe the cornerstone of the show is supposed to be humor but I can't tell, which is not a good sign.

I do like Ninja Warrior though, mostly because I like listening to the announcer screaming about everything.

 

[monkey_man]

what is g4? some gam erevieuwing programme? or an site?

 

[SomeBritishDude]

I never watched the old show and I only catch the new X-play every so often.

...So I don't know why I posted here...
