so i was thinking last night that g4 is for the most part a crappy station. but as gamers we have a certain interest in it. so i was wondering what are the good shows on g4 and what is the shit. most of the stuff we can agree on but still i wanted to ask you guys what your favorite g4 program is.
Poll: whats your favorite g4 program?

I like Game Makers. It comes on at like 9 AM and is a documentry on developing video games and such, out of that list Code Monkeys, but where the hell's Freaky?
X-Play is the only decent show left, but it is falling to the G4 curse. G4 is becoming too mainstream(they try, but it is still virtually underground) and becoming too much like Spike. I miss 2004-06 when it was still good, though it did start to crumble in '06. TechTv was better anyway. Why did they have to take an extra casualty with them?
I miss my old X-Play, my old AOTS when it was more about gaming/tech then "nerd" culture in general. My Anime Unleashed(R.O.D. was amazing). The old ICONs. And most of all, Judgement Day. Now I will go to my living room, hug my TV and cable box, and cry as I mourn the loss.

I fully expected the "I don't watch G4" to be the winner by a landslide.
I enjoy X-play, and they are starting to review much more games and I've seen more skits from them. So I think it is going back slightly to it's roots.
Whatever, I still watch it (plus the LBP special's coming up
*happy panda*)

Well, it's kinda a sad realization that non tech shows outnumber game/tech shows on what used to be an awesome channel.
Kinda like when MTV used to play music videos instead of all the crap on there now.
Personally I like AoTS and X-Play, though the format of X-Play should be revamped again. I like when they did more reviews and more game coverage. The interactive virtual audience and video mail is just lame.
R-tard #1: Do you think GTA IV will be good?
R-tard #2: What do you think about X? (where X is any title already covered to death, or so far in the future, it could be just a rumor)
AoTS at least has Gadget Pr0n and seems pretty fair and balanced when it comes to tech toys.
Code Monkeys at least is based in a fictional 'gaming' universe where we can all relate to.
So, I guess that leaves me scratching my head why G4 has anything to do with Cheaters or Cops. They just seem so out of place and repeat so many times during a day.
Edit: I guess I'm saying other shows like along the lines of 'Modern Marvels', 'Popular Mechanics', 'How'd they do that?' are a much better fit for a tech channel than some crack whore being arrested for the 100th time, or some fat chick spying on her trashy boyfriend who works at Wal-Mart or Applebees skeezing on some other hideous chick.
