G4, STOP THIS AT ONCE!!


Sure you guys are airing a descent show but dammit I miss the good old days of nothing but video game and tech oriented shows. Now If I were you, Mr. Charles Hirschhorn; I'd apologize to every viewer you've disappointed and create a second channel called "G4TV2" and air nothing but video games and tech!! I'm sick of it being the Comedy Central/Sci-Fi Channel/Spike TV network!! I mean imagine if Viacom told Nickelodeon to make nothing but cartoons about the same crap and it replaced good shows like Danny Phantom, The Fairly OddParents, Spongebob SquarePants, Drake & Josh, and other shows with THIS, I'd bet all the kids would be writing complaints and telling Nick how unoriginal they are. Well, I'm sick of G4 being a *beeped* up channel with nothing but Star Trek, The Man Show, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, Cops, Arrested Development, Ninja Warrior, Cheaters, and The Block. I've about had it with your horrid channel, I'd think I'd have it better if I moved to Canada since they've got a better G4TV than the United States which is very sad! Anyways, I'm not going to hold back like I did in the GameTalk Forums. I'm going to find Leo Laporte and his crew and put a stop to this stupid channel for good, I wasn't even happy about this 2 years ago!!

Won't happen.

G4 mostly appeals to the sub room temprature IQ crowd with attention spans shorter than David Alan Coe's acting career.
So they will make too much money off commercials.

Meanwhile, you can watch the IPTV stuff like DL.TV and CrankyGeeks.
Since they only broadcast on the net, they're free of nonsense.

g4 tv sucks big time. the network is now completly unwatchable. there two shows that show any hint that it used to be a video game/computer channel are so bad and so full of themselves, its mind numbing.

Attack of the show has gotten so retarted, so anoying, its pure crap. I mean, common i gota sit though 20 minunts of dumb jokes to hear a 3 sec clip about somthing i can read 4 pages about on the internet? plz.

as for XPLAY...XGAY is more like it. They took a good game review show hosted by adam sesler, added morgan webb strictly for sex appeal (not that im complaning, its just, i kinda find it hard to believe a georgous woman like her spends all her time playing video games) and turned adam into a moron and tell more lame ass jokes then review games! Moronic

I miss leo laporte.. i miss tech tv, i miss great shows like the screen savers, call for help, and i forget the name of it, but the game review with the two guys who just gave there honest oppion on the games, without acting like complete idiots.

Judgment Day is what i believe you are thinking of. I liked that show too.

reply

seriously, G4 is like a rejected version of Spike tv.

Judgement Day was the best show on G4. That was the one show I would like to see them back. They had true honest reviews, not that crap XPlay shows and who said Morgan Web was hot? She looks like a man, but that girl on Attack of the Show, Olivia Munn I believe thats her name, she's super hot.

reply

Damn...I 'm looking forward to this show. But I'm only 34 and saw the movie when it came out so what do I know.

Well, G4TechTV Canada is a slight inch better, since we don't get all the "spike"-crap and have some shows like Electric Playground and Reviews on the Run, which actually still deal with nothing but gaming. Plus we still get to see Leo Laporte.
XPlay really has devolved into a running boob-joke, probably peaking out at Morgan Webb's sextips for geeks... too embarrassing to be so lame that it's funny again. And the Bloomberg-like plastering of those idiotic chat-rooms all over the screen gives it the final gutshot.
It's weird that there is no other channel that would have the guts to fill the void, you'd think with a gaming industry peaking in the billions, there would be a "CNN for Games" possible, it's not like the money for that is lacking.
I remember that France has or had a channel called Game One, not sure if it exists anymore. Game One really focused on the purest aspect of games with such cheap-to-produce but still interesting shows like "First Level", where a developer plays through the first level of a game or nights of nothing but game-trailers, video-sequences or intros.
A channel like that shouldn't cost a network more than putting some unfunny cardboard cutouts on the air like the ones G4 employs right now.
I wouldn't hold my breath for it, but it sounds more likely than G4 ever returning back to be more than softcore geekporn for 12 year olds.

Morgan Webb was one of the old techtv staff members and she was the one that was always talking about the japanese style rpg games on screen savers, then they remixed the staff on screen savers and she went to x play... then a year later the merger happened... and one of the best channels on TV turned into the worst... however i WILL give them this... the interview/debate with jack thompson and Adam Sessler was great
