G4 used to be good?

Postby djratchet » Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:20 am

As some may know, G4 used to be an actually decent channel. Of course, that's not the case any more. What shows did you watch back when G4 was good? I know I left some out, so if you hit "other" please tell which show you used to watch. I'm doing this because I'm bored and I want to see what you guys think.

I enjoyed Braniac and Filter a lot, except for the fact that I despised Diane Mizota. She was always sooo annoying to me on how she talked and tried to pass on her little annoying jokes.

X-Play - Well I still sorta watch it now, but I get the feeling its starting that slow steady slide to crapulence...
Old Attack of the Show/Screen Savers - back when I had TechTV, TSS was the show to watch (along with TTV-era X-Play)
Old Filter (Diane Mizota) - It was okay, I did like their 'end of year'/xmas specials.
Portal - pass. at least machinima got better over time
Brainiac - some of it's cool, but I'd rather have the gaming content.
Old Cheat (Cory Rouse) - At least he tried, LOL. :P
G4TV.com the show - had its moments, I could take it or leave it.
Arena - KP still brings it up occasionally (as if anyone gives a crap anymore), but I'll pass.

Also, you neglected STARCADE, how dare you! :P

Wasn't Victor Lucas on Judgement day along with Mr. Tallarico?

He has a spot on Gametap now...

(Somewhat related, somewhat OT, sorry.)

I only watch G4 for The Man Show and E3 coverage.

I couldn't put everything I wanted in the poll because there is only so many spots I could fill. I just went for the ones that were in my opinion, more popular.

I hate the Man Show. It's so retarded.
Old Attack of the Show/Screen Savers - back when I had TechTV, TSS was the show to watch (along with TTV-era X-Play)

Same way here. :D

Yeah, he was. That was one those shows I was going to put, but didn't have enough room.

X-Play - Well I still sorta watch it now, but I get the feeling its starting that slow steady slide to crapulence...

I'm starting to feel the same way. It just doesn't seem right anymore. AND I WANT MY RATTY DAMMIT! :)

About Filter, did you know Diane went to Trading Spaces Kids or something like that? I kinda liked the old Filter, but I HATE the new one with Beth O. It just sucks.

Dude, the man show is hella funny. I know it has some moments when you are like...feeling shamed you are watching it(girls jumping on trampolines!!!) but I still watch it whenever it is on.

The only thing I like about G4 is the one show where they just play pieces from video games and nothing else (it's good background banter when I'm busy), and the fact that they showed Cromartie High School for their Adult Swim ripoff anime block.

It was only funny a handful of times. I don't like it, but hey. That's my opinion.

Cinematech? Yeah. That show is pretty good. The rip-off used to be called Barbed Wire Biscuit but now it is called Midnight Spank. MS doesn't have any anime though. BWB had that, but they replaced it. The commercials for MS are really funny. I'll link them:

Guinea Pig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI-ObHzkw78

Good for a few laughs. :D

G4 used to be great. About mid G4 or the G4TechTV era. especially when AOTS was putting out shorts and skits like crazy and Brendon Moran was still the man. X-PLAY just switched to new set. Ah... Those were good times.

Anyone notice how much the new X-PLAY set looks like the old one? Anyways, I still watch X-PLAY and AOTS, I LOVE the new Icons. But not much else. I hate all there new shows, I'm TIRED of Star Trek. Midnight Spank is just childish (though Nocturnal Emissions plays some cool Japanese trailers sometimes, and stuff like DJ:MAX videos and Disgaea anime). But The Man Show, Ed's Sock Party... they're HORRIBLE.

Here's an idea, WE NEED LAIN, BOOGIEPOP, AND CROMARTIE HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN! Lain was the coolest show ever aired on any TV ever, period, infinity, speed rave.

And I agree, being the most hardcore ABe fan on these forums. Rawr.

Also, nowadays The Nocturnal Emmisions version (japanese game previews) of Cinematech seems to be just 3D sex sims. One day I saw SAINTS ROW ON NOCTURNAL EMMISIONS. It was the american 360 version, yeah, WHAT THE FUCK.

AOTS is just like those other shows on at 7 like extra, e! news, and ET. Because of that it sucks the big one, but it's the most entertaining out of all of them. But I skip all of them and just watch the soup on friday.

Where else can I watch old "Star Trek", and "Banzai", and catch up on the first (and only) season of "Fastlane".... Oh and "The Man Show" and all those other EXCELLENT programs, the only thing that pisses me off about G4 is that I have to sit through 1 or 2 stupid shows about Video Games and other electronic crap, like that intronet thingie to get to my next exciting episode of "Fast Cars and Half-Naked Bitches"!!!
So quit dissin G4 you haterz....i'm l33t

OMG I know, I saw that stupid car show and I was like what the fuck is going on?!?!?! It just shows random cars and bitches as the host says "G4, TV for gamers" I guess I love cars and bitches since I'm a gamer.
