good news, i love it
back in the day, i used to watch ZDTV then TechTV
it used to be good programming, then they started doing all that bullshit with Martin and the late nite psuedo porn shit (that's when you know they were a sinking ship)
when i first watched that G4 shit i was hoping for the day it went down the toilet. suprised it took this long...never set eyes on that channel in about 2 years now
i only liked when Leo/Kate/Megan&Cat/Patrick/Martin(pre-porn)Micaehla/Sumi/Jessica/Morgan/Kevin Rose/ even Perillo was on everybody else post that was booboo.
Leo got his syndicated show and his TechGuy thing going on his terms right now, so i don't think he gonna try jump back on some bullshit
it would be cool to see all the old cats back working together though

Interested in seeing how this all works out in the E!-zone.

Yes, Sara was her name. She was no Jessica Corbin but I thought she was a good host even though she did seem a little uncomfortable when it changed over to AOTS.

Do you people really watch shows only because there is a "hot" girl on? You guys do know about porn, right?
I used to watch Tech TV every day but don't watch G4 at all, unless I'm flipping through and something catches my eye (which is almost never). That Star Trek 2.0 has to be the single-most idiotic concept for TV programming ever.

Good riddance, G4. The thing I hated (among many things) is when they changed "Icons" (maybe the one good show G4 actually had before the "merger") to focus on non-game subjects, such as Michelle Rodriguez.

The original programming of G4 suffers from time-sensitive content delivery issues.
ATOS is the only show that seems to keep up with the current net happenings and is a solid source for daily gaming/tech news as well as the new stuff on Youtube, Ebay, etc. and the occasional solid interview. The rest of the program is drivel though.
X-Play & Cheat! suffer from the exact same problem, ancient content. By the time they can cover a game, there are plenty of reviews available on the net as well as tons of info on Gamefaqs. I don't have a problem with the hosts, but they aren't particularly special either.
Cinematech is a solid idea, but it needs a sleeker incorporation between shows rather than in chunks. I'd be more impressed with Icons if they actually stuck to tech icons rather than moving into celebrities. The Block is MTV-inspired garbage.
G4 could have been much more successful if they offered content that wasn't readily available on the net. How about a show that offers entire video walkthroughs for Xbox 360 achievements? How about a weekly show with a roundtable discussion on the console wars? How about a Wii-based show that offers video walkthroughs on creating celebrity lookalike Mii's and covers the cool internet content being created for the Wii browser?
G4 has become a wasteland of tired material, general lack of new ideas and repeat upon repeats. They deserve to be consolidated into E!.

I didnt say you had to watch it. It's fun to watch old stuff sometimes. Like how their Ultimate Gaming Machine had an ultra powerful Pentium 3 and Voodoo 4000 featuring the all new AGP slot!! OMG!

Morgan Webb is really a man and those that think she is hot, need to step out of the closet.

Wasn't sure where to put this but Sarah Lane began chemo yesterday to fight breast cancer. It's moved to her lymph nodes. She did an AMA on Twitter.
