    G4TV (Bai-Bai?)

    http://www.mattparnell.com/view/Blog...ocessofDeath?/

    G4 TV Moving...A Process of Death?

    According to the G4 Rewind blog, as well as the TV Week site, it seems that due to the lack of any sucess whatsoever for the G4 network, as opposed to the former TechTV, the network's studios and staff are being consolidated and merged into that of the Entertainment network. Production crew and the CEO are to be laid off, most likely. According to Kevin Pereria, "As of right now, it means a new set..." Kevin went on with a retarded comment about Ryan Seacrest.

    Despite every attempt at improving ratings, G4 has remained low on the rankings, and was 57th out of the 64 cable networks in the third quarter of 2006. The network has shifted somewhat from focusing on video games to instead focus on sex, drugs, and stupidity. There are, in my opinion, only a few shows on that network worth watching, and those are only the shows not produced in house by G4 (syndicated shows, that is). Here's to hoping this is the network's death throws. Maybe Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo's brainchild Undo.TV will eventually get a TV channel. Until then, we must put up with ongoing trash that G4 produces.

    The plan is for the G4 Studios in Santa Monica, CA to be closed on April 15th, and moved to Los Angeles, in the E! Network building.

    Stuff that was supposed to be about games and such but it turned into nothing but "Cheaters!" and "Cops!". And a horrible game show that trys to review games but they always cut-inbetween the segments to show some retarded intern and their crappyy "lets bash about someone!" thing.

    Seriously, canceling Call for Help and The Screensavers was a kick in the balls.

    Ill miss Olivia Munn =/ if they don't bring her back ; ;

    I can do w/o Adam "I always look constipated when I talk" Sessler, and Morgan "Manjaw" Webb.

    I miss TechTv, I bet all the hosts that got canned from TechTv are having a good smile.

    If you keep alienating your core audience, and berated their favorite consoles, people will tune it off.

    That channel was retarded, its shows were retarded, and I cringed everytime I flipped by the channel and saw videogames being portrayed. I watched a little of their E3 coverage and it felt like I was watching the TLR or w/e on MTV, just an insanely dumbed down display of gaming.

    I knew that when Leo Laporte left, the channel was doomed, and it was pretty much downhill from when he did.

    Yeah, easily the best shows that were on there.

    I got so fucking sick of the Star Trek 2.0 bullshit (does anyone under 40 even like the originals?)

    Just show reruns of the screensavers 24/7 and they'd be better off than where they ended up.
