Boy, is that ever true! Most of what passes for 'cool' these days just doesn't do it for me.

It's interesting how everyone knows what's cool, and they base that on market research.

56% like this

10% like this, this and that.

34% do not like that, but like this.

How bout just making something that sounds good to you, and those who like it will watch, and those that don't will find something else.

Like I said, their only concern is making money. Making quality entertainment is second.

At least they no longer claim to be a gaming channel. They've long since dropped the "TV 4 Gamers" and "videogame television" slogans when they changed directions. They are what they are now, which is a channel aimed at a male demographic with a "geek lifestyle" (gaming, technology, boobies, Star Trek, weird Japanese shows, etc.) niche.

Unlike MTV, who still has "music television" under their logo but probably airs less than an hour of actual music per day.

Well, if your up at 4 am in the morning you can catch 2 hours of videos. But yeah......thats pretty much it. Hell, even one of their staple "music" shows, TRL decided not to show the entire videos anymore after a few years, it was just a 30 second clip they show. Thank god that tweenie dream is over. MTV needs to die a bad horrible death........unless they bring back Beavis and Butthead. Which in the most far fetched scenario....I would watch it.

Hey, good news. I hear that X-Play will be stripped down to 3 days a week, instead of 5. Gee, must mean they'll replace the show with COPS, or some other show.

Eh, just as well, don't care for X-Play, or COPS. I do watch X-Play just so I know what NOT to do on my show.

I actually like X-Play. I think the worst days are behind us with that show. It was great when it was Extended Play on TechTV. Then it switched to X-Play and became more eccentric which was all right with me, but then it moved to G4 after the merger and when G4 took over production it became too stupid for my tastes. But it's seen an uprising in my opinion after it changed format somewhat and became a more in-depth gaming show instead of just game reviews. So now we have game previews, reviews, hands-on segments with interviews from game creators, convention reports, etc. It's not bad.

Cops? lol. I don't need to watch that on G4. I can watch it on the 3209894378437834 other channels it's syndicated on.
