The channel that I knew as G4 was pretty great, but even by then it was already changing format from an all-games channel to a pop culture channel. But it was nice to have around, especially for the reviews. But nowadays, you’re right, the Internet is just about all we need for just about anything! Well, almost anything. :-)

What a shame. I never even knew there was anything gaming-related on TV (besides Sonic and Mario cartoons), and now that I know, it’s gone anyway. It’s true, though, that we no longer need things like that, what with the Internet and all. I don’t even understand why gaming guides have phone numbers for calling for help. Why do I need help when I have the mighty Internet? I don’t. I just don’t.

Yeah, the heart of the channel passed on years ago. They probably should have killed he channel before it became nothing but reruns of bad television. Still, I was always happy to catch XPlay when it was on. That was a solid review show.

I remember watching the gaming themed shows on what used to be TechTV during middle school and then watching XPlay and some other gaming show I cant recall on G4 while in highschool. Watched the G4 awards up through 2010 also (Still remember that epic Skyrim reveal!). It’s too bad the channel devolved the way it did. G4 finally getting put to rest is a good thing I think. To me it already died a long time ago.

Since I watched TechTV before I ever knew about G4, I didn’t mind the tech-y elements of the channel that much. What bugged me was when everything just went the generic “pop culture” route. The most recent incarnation of G4 wasn’t all that great outside of a couple shows. And a couple shows do not a successful channel make.

I think it was bought by a congromelate,that decided G4 wasn’t needed. I used to watch it when i was in HS… I think maybe middle school, but I remember thinking it didn’t show what I really wanted to know and learn. they talked about stuff that was too tech for me. And that girl ( with a guy partner ) irritated me to no end.
