| "So I guess G4-TechTV is dropping the TechTV part of their name. Apparently they thought it gave them undeserved credibility. They are also launching some new shows, one of which is called girls gone wired. I guess they have judges sit around and rate how hot pretend girls are. Here's a quote from their press release: "Our audience interacts with digital girls as much as real girls and we're tapping into that fantasy," commented Laura Civiello, Vice President of Acquisitions and Development for G4. "'Girls Gone Wired' is the first pageant of its kind on television with contestants competing for titles like "Hottest Newcomer," "Sexiest Voice" and "Most Likely to Kick Enemy Ass." I think that the idea of a television channel that focuses on videogames and technology is an exciting one. Obviously there is a lot of potential for some quality shows on a channel like that. I think that's why people dislike G4 so much. It's not just because the stuff they make is so bad. There are plenty of bad television shows on every channel. It's the fact that they are wasting all that potential, and that's what is so disappointing." |

phil-himself | Re:, 01-14-05 5:35am leo was the man, he was at that the channel longer than anyone and they chanceled his show for no reason even though it got great ratings and wide audience appeal. |
shinigami | 01-14-05 12:51am I hate G4 too. Why can't TechTV just come back and not be bought out? Oh, and that show sounds really, really stupid. Sadly, I be we could get on there. :/ |
skife | Re:, 01-14-05 11:44pm ZDTV should come back, it was the pre-tech tv |
phil-himself | 01-14-05 5:36am they merged with tech tv and then killed off their shows, replacing them with g4's shitty shows, then took tech tv out of the name.

sike-a-delic_grasshopper | 01-14-05 9:50pm Tech TV was kinda cool when it had things on it besides video games. One time they talked about the Fender Cyber Twin. Now it's just like watching someone play video games. Highly irritating. |
threshershark | 01-14-05 11:25pm I do not have cable, I am free from this problem! :D |
