Or G4 in general? I don't get the channel, but soon i will. All I hear is great things about it from my friends, but I am skeptical.

G4 used to be amazing, now it's just a really crappy Spike knockoff. AOTS still remains the same in my eyes, sometimes funny, sometimes pointless, sometimes interesting. Beyond that, they axed a lot of shows, turned X-Play into a serious show and air filler episodes of Cops for the rest of the time.

Attack of the Show is one of the only worthwhile shows left on G4.

I watch it pretty regularly though, mainly thanks to how they reply it so often...

Nope. I liked X-Play with Adam Sessler, though.

I watched it when it was called "The Screen Savers" and was hosted by Leo Laporte. Not anymore. I despise what G4 has become.

No Directv dropped the channel all together.

Hey hey what is wrong with Kevin? I think he makes for a damn good host! I get the feeling he is a true geek yet he also has that cool factor that makes him great as a host.

I do agree about Munn though. Sooooo glad she is gone. Candace Bailey has done a surprisingly good job I think and she is for certain a VAST improvement over Munn.

I agree Bailey is better than Munn. Munn just seemed like a stuck up b**** all the time. I just find Kevin hilarious. But that's just old mrmusicman's opinion.

Yeah Bailey has been a huge improvement. I was initially shocked she had gotten chosen over Alison Haislip but now I see she has worked out really well.

The only thing I'll give Munn credit for is that she randomly appears in a music video for a very good song. I really can't stand that women and she very obviously didn't know jack **** about gaming and couldn't even fake interest in gaming at times. At least the other hosts have been able to show interest...

Oh and yeah, Kevin is awesome.

Pereir sucks compared to the hosts of The Screen Saver. Kevin Rose was baller. I would suck him off any day of the week. Kevin Pereir just comes off as an obnoxious jerk.

I guess I am in the minority because I loved Olivia Munn. She had some really funny moments, and I enjoyed her sarcasm and snobbiness (I also have a thing for half caucasian/asian women). I used to watch the show a lot but only on occasions now.

She was hot but, I'm sorry, she was just over the top whorish. Even for a low budget TV show made for teens.

The entire network sold out. Its executives thought they could make more money by dropping almost all the original content and turning it into a spikeTV knockoff.

I don't understand how he comes off as a jerk. He has always struck me as a genuinely cool guy who happens to be a geek and can drum.

I watch it because it keeps me up to date with around the web stuff I wouldn't know about if I didn't watch it...

The show is real cheesy and corny at times, but it's a good show if you're really geeky(such as myself).

Yeah I still try to watch it unless I'm busy with something. It's still fairly the same which is that it's uneven being sometimes funny, sometimes informative, and sometimes...the opposite of that. It's not as good since Olivia Munn has gone as her replacement Candance Bailey has very little personality and no ability to roll with the edgy weird comedy territory that Kevin likes to push from time to time. Whereas Munn would push back and sometimes go much farther than even Kevin felt it would go, Candace more often than not she just kind of recoils and does that dreary "ewwww you're icky and I'm a girl and I don't like icky things and ewww ewww ewww I'll just stand here and cringe awkwardly" type of thing ad nauseam.

But still...Kevin does some funny and very relaxed interviews but it's a shame they didn't sign up Alison Haislip as the co-host as at least she's not afraid of icky boy things and has a personality.

After the screensavers went off the air, I watched Attack of the Show for like maybe a year or so in 2006, but then kind of started hating it.

I watch clips of it on Hulu.

If you never got a chance to see the original G4 programming then it's pretty interesting. However, as you can tell from some people here, if you remember the original G4 then it's inferior to what it use to be.

They got another random host chick who probably knows nothing of what she's talking about.

Probably.

I haven't watched it lately.

I remember the original original G4, as in before it merged with TechTV. It was kinda a goofy network.... I remember this one show where this guy talked to a walking mushroom headed man... but I guess it was still better then now. There's is nothing left of that G4. Attack of the Show and XPlay are both remnants of the TechTV lineup.

I missed out on the good G4, but I got the channel when the transition started to happen. Eventually I pretty much only watched AOTS and X-Play (for the hell of it). I can't watch anymore because I have DirecTV, but I don't really miss the channel. I do miss watching Kevin, Chris Hardwick, and Alison though.

Olivia Munn was garbage, you could tell she doesnt like videogames (or gamers for that matter) during the E3 special, she was watching a kid play GT5 (while doing an interview with him at the same time) and seemed very bored doing it

The show was alright a few years ago, but G4 as a tv station blows chunks. Directv cancelled the station a while back, so I'm not sure if it's any better with the new host.

I do.

Enjoy reviews on the run, AOTS, Campus PD and The Office from time to time. It's alright, I guess.
