I wouldn't bother. You can find out info faster (and in a less annoying fashion) by using Google. I'm not sure how G4 still exists.
How does MTV go from music to crap reality shows? One miserable step at a time.Neonbob said:
I say you should watch whenever X-play or Attack of the Show is on because they are cool, everything else is mostly Cheaters 'n' Cops.
Well it starts with, "Hey, we don't have enough viewers. Ideas?" Then it ends with, "Yeah! Let's be like Spike TV!"Neonbob said:
what happened to G4 is nothing new. Like someone already said, MTV went from Music videos to Reality TV. Nickelodeon when from a bunch of insanely goofy cartoons to spongebob. Cartoon Network has gone from decent cartoons with some anime to less decent cartoons and live action shows (wtf).
I just think the television market (at least for things that would be considered to be more directed at younger audiences) has started drying up thanks to crappy network executives.

G4 is run by the same people who run E!, Style, Golf and Versus. They are people with no knowledge of anything gaming or tech related, and if you've seen how the other channels are filled, the current incarnation of G4 is less a surprise. They took their existing G4 properties, acquired TechTV's more lucrative prospects, burned them all to the ground, salted their fields with vapid personalities, watered it with visionless management, and are now trying to feed the public whatever grows out of that wasted soil.
Meanwhile, their upper management tries to tell everyone that this is what gamers want.

God, did you have to end this thing so quickly?Neonbob said:
OP listen to this guy, he's mentioned the only things worth watching.
Screw whatever guy i just quoted, this seems more like it, pretty much, G4 isnt worth watching.paulgruberman said:
I never saw the point of TV for gamers. Broadcasting in a fixed timeslot is a stupid idea. Firstly, that's valuable game time. Secondly, those things go for a fixed time, usually half an hour, including commercials. What ritalin-popping, twitchy, unkempt basement/bedroom-dweller has that much free time between Starcraft and Halo? Finally, who are they to demand us to drop our controllers and grab our remotes? Balls to that, if they want me to give up gaming for a little so they can con me into watching ads, they can cut out the useless fluff, get straight to the meat and po... no bugger the potatos, just the meat, and give me the thing in downloadable/streaming format. You need my time, I don't need your shows. The sooner you ignorant archaic fucksicles realise this, the sooner we can come to an accord that is mutually beneficial to all concerned. By which I mean me.
If you're going to watch anything on G4 watch X-Play I'd say Adam Sessler's opinions are pretty valid, not 100%, but pretty valid.
I never watch them anymore. I just subscribe to Sessler's Soapbox on iTunes and the E3 coverage and thats it. If your that concerned just visit the website.
