The Channel was a LOT better when it was known as TechTV. I especially liked Call For Help, X-Play (when it was good) and a few others.

The weird thing is on their website they claim to be G4TV, but on TV they advertise as G4. The only things worth watching are Ninja Warrior and X-Play.

I used to get this channel but recently I haven't been paying for it. A lot of the games I see reviews for I don't even have.

Well, the reviews are still entertaining, and they help you pick out what games you should get.

Seconded on both Call for Help, when it was TechTV, and Morgan Webb.

TechTV was cool computer hacks, real help, information.
G4TechTV was gaming and computers.
G4 is smut.

I used to watch that channel back when it was called ZDTV. Back then though, it had a lot more business oriented programming. Like hour after hour of TechLive and TechTv news, and a show called Silicon Spin with that moron John C. Dvorak. It did have X-Play, though, but it was called Extended Play, and I think it had different hosts.

I mainly watched The Screen Savers back when it was an hour and a half, before it was dumbed down and eventually shortened to an hour.

G4 is not TechTV. G4 ate TechTV. And all they pooped back out was a crappier version of X-Play.

Yep. Don't get them mixed up folks.

ZDTV = TechTV.

Though, honestly I thought G4 was enjoyable a few years ago when they were seperate. TechTV had The Screensavors, X-Play, Anime Unleashed (had some great obscure anime's, Betterman, DUAL, and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenaboshi were awesome) and a few other random cool shows I enjoyed, and back then G4 had Judgement Day and a few other good ones (though, they showed re-runs almost nonstop. And regardless of how dumb Tommy Talarico was at times, it was enjoyable to watch).

But yeah, G4 itself went downhill when they "merged" with TechTV, and well now they're just worthless and practically a bad SpikeTV remix channel.

Cops? Cheaters? Blind date?

What the FUCK.

See, what's funny is, while G4 is slowly becoming more and more like SpikeTV, SpikeTV is also slowly becoming more and more like G4. Soon they will merge and become the single most identity-crisis-suffering network on television.

TechTV was alright. I really started to watch it when they merged with G4TechTV. That's when Icons, X-Play, Cinematech, and The Screensavers were awesome.

When TechTV was completely pushed out, Game Makers (AKA Icons) and X-Play were only worth watching. Attack of the Show came, and it surprisngly decent. But then there was even more mass-firing.

Now Game Makers is pushed out, and X-Play is rarely shown. What replaced all of those good shows? Crappy things like Star Trek, and other things that should be dumped back onto Spike (except MXC. Only good thing on there). X-Play is still decent, but it isn't what it used to be.

Now, who's to blame all of this? Tommy Tallarico, of course. He basically runs G4, right? Well, he's running it, alright -- running it straight into the ground. Gamers like Cheaters and Arrested Development? We like Star Trek (well, uh, not me. Hate hate hate)? We actually like the Jamie Kennedy Experiment? No. Even if we did, it shouldn't be on G4. It's TV for Gamers. Not Crap for Shit. Hey, Tallarico. Let's try getting some good stuff on there, hm

I like Star Trek but it needs to stay on Sci-Fi. A channel like G4 should be devoted to games, girls, guns, and gore = G4.
Best I could come up with. Don't shoot me. XD

Star Trek has been aired on like every network, ever, same with Generation. And yeah, it just shouldn't have been on there.

Yeah, I forgot about Icons, that was one of G4's best shows, and that reminded me of G4TV.com with Tina and ... Laura? They'd talk about the new big games and have people call in to voice their opinions, then they'd have goofy competitions, but heck it was a good show. If I remember right one of them did most of the writing for Icons and a few other good shows. I wonder what happened to all of them?

Remember when they pissed on X-Play's dissembodied voice? 50 voices later they all sucked.

But yeah, its pretty much too late now. They've dug themselves an extremely deep hole they'll probably never crawl out of.
