Everybody G4 will be rebranding its self this year but at a bad price. G4 is becoming what its called a Esquire Channel they are towards a metrosexual audience about travel, cooking, fashion and some game-related shows. The network is going to be terrible, I rather see re-runs of FILTER CALL FOR HELP THE SCREENSAVERS GAMESPOT TV EXTENDED PLAY EVEN PORTAL CINMEATECH ROBOT WARS AND SCREENSHOTS.
- Trenton Miller · FollowingOMG you remember all those shows!? Man, what happened? TechTV and the early days of G4 were freaking great. Even shows like Cinematech, simple shows but shows I would watch over mostly everything else on TV. Great original quality content, all gone now. Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see anything like it again. RIP The greatness that you once were.
- Jeremy Nedd · The Art Institute of California – San DiegoHell yeah brother I started watching adam sessler when he was donig gamespot tv with lauren fielder I believe back in the late 90's when ZDTV was still around and watching call for help omg those were the days i tell you. When extended play came out with his co host kate botello that show was great man for real then that whole techtv and g4 merger crap ruined everything
- Trenton Miller · FollowMaybe, HOPEFULLY, some intelligent television executive will realize the whole this is creating in the market, and maybe the will buy the rights to the TechTV brand and restart it. Imagine if Adam Sessler, Kevin Pereira, and the rest of the guys that were there for so long will the be ones to do something. But let me tell you this: if they did start up TechTV again with new episodes of all those classic shows, OR if they did a spiritual successor to the network and those classic shows, OR if they did something brand new that was of equal quality back then, it would, without a doubt, be the most watched channel in my house. And if that's true of one person, it is true of many people. They need to get smarter people running the networks to make this thing profitable. Because honestly, the only thing still keeping me from having a TV account is ESPN at this point. For everything else, I'd rather just get it on the internet. I'll miss the days of eating dinner and watching Kevin and Olivia, or waiting to hear what X-Play rated that new game that just came out. Even Ninja Warrior. Or back in the day with The Screensavers - man I miss that show more than any other on TV, especially when it was on TechTV with Leo and Patrick, and then later with Kevin Rose. CLASSIC
- Gamers Tech Entertainment i-NetTrenton Miller It's what I have been saying for a long time. This market is so misunderstood by the current power demographic in entertainment that a "revolution" of sorts is inevitable. You have execs sitting at the top with the power to fund a project but are at best "add sales" guys. The paradigm of any person under 40 right now in a tech heavy country are a completely different culture from the 55+ Executives In Charge. The internet/blogging/
podcasting are going to be ground -zero for the rebirth. This goes back to the study in the early part of 2000 that sited the largest cultural generation gap in American history. Very simple formula, get a show, get sponsers directly (Wayne's World Style) and when the gamers blow that brand up. The executive branch that is out of touch will wake up. G4 going away is actually an opportunity in disuse. The Gamers Tech Entertainment INternet group of people that watched g4 now are going to get frustrated and create more content. This is the beginning of something that will change the game. Lets face it, by the time I am 60 the guys in charge of TV now will be long dead and G4 will be the legendary.
