Good riddance to bad rubbish. They both sucked and I'm not sad to see them go.
And G4 has always sucked. Even before Comcast ruined it.
I stopped watching after Pereira left. Well, I stopped watching when they praised Call of Duty, but you get the point.
Yep, not surprised. I knew something horrible was going to happen to Tech TV ever since they switched from "Extended Play" into "X-Play". As fun as the Adam/Morgan duo, Snarky Sessler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friendly, Enthusiastic Sessler. So, yep, not surprised at all.
I never understood the point of the channel. I seldom look at it, it's in the "takes 5 minutes to scroll to it" section of my comcast package...."oh, hey, look 'movies that don't suck' and they are playing HARD TO KILL...is the theme of this channel sarcasm?"
@200328sept Only thing I have seen on G4 in recent years is the occasional Ninja Warrior...
Liked X Play. Hated Attack of the Show except the Fresh Ink segment which I only saw a couple of times because watching the rest of AOTS was too brain numbingly not worth it to get to that segment.
Bring back TechTV god dammit.
Well, okay.. I'll give you TechTV. That was the only G4 thing worth a bottle of spit. Everything else was crap crap crap.
This bums me out too. Even though AOTS seemed rather directionless once they only had Candace Bailey to rely on, I still enjoyed it. I honestly valued their reviews on tech, and I valued X-Play's reviews of videogames. They just seemed to be one of the few reviewers that valued the same things I valued.
It was funny. Over the years, you could clearly see the rise of the geek based on the level of guests that would come on AOTS. They slowly got more and more mainstream. I guess things got so mainstream that they decided to do away with the show altogether.
I wonder if G4 will still air Ninja Warrior. Probably not as we now have the less impressive American Ninja Warrior that can be put on the air.
Just bummed, was great seeing geeks talking of geek culture so well, now losing that is annoying.
This actually makes me kind of sad. I admit I knew nothing about this show, or the network it was on, until about three years ago when I got "AOTS!" comments on one of my YouTube videos, which confused the heck out of me. I tuned in at first only for the thrill of seeing my re-edit videos on TV, but became a fan of the show, even if it was sometimes about tech I had no interest in. They had some pretty good skits, and I exchanged a few YouTube messages with one of the guys behind the scenes of the show.
So thanks, AOTS, for all the extra views you helped my videos get (probably hundreds of thousands), and thanks for being one of the few watchable shows that were on at seven o'clock. Sorry to see you go.
@troi That's because Candace Bailey can't host for shit. When Kevin Pereira was there, at least he kept the show going. Once he left, it was like a chicken running around with its head cut off.
@troi You could tell the channel was planning major changes. Heck they chased just about everyone away.
