Attack of the Show - Canceled

[Badbird]

So it was announced on tonight's show that Attack of the Show was going to run through the end of the year and then no more. That pretty much leaves X-Play as the one and only remaining show on G4 that is actually original programming.

Too bad. I know the show had it's critics, but I always found it entertaining. But once Olivia Munn left, it was never the same. Candace Bailey was a terrible replacement and clearly didn't "get it" - she was just a girl hired for her pretty looks (as was the rest of their staff). Then once Kevin left, that was pretty much it for the show.


I have a feeling that G4 is going to go through a major re-envisioning thing and pretty much change everything from the ground up - possibly a new name all together. Just another niche network abandoning its own niche.

LOL - I spoke too soon. X-Play is canceled too

I remember reading a while ago that G4 wanted to rebrand itself and not be as "geeky." Not sure where they're going to take it (hopefully it doesn't become a poor man's version of Spike TV) but I'll miss the nerdy stuff. Always got a kick out of those shows. But the truth is, there wasn't enough material to merit entire series. I mean, X-Play was boring and terrible over the summer. Just not enough going on on the video game front. I hope they manage to still have convention coverage and other specials.

I remember when G4 first came around when I was in HS and I watched the channel on the regular. AotS, X-Play, convention coverage, Dragonball & Z marathons, video game battle shows, etc. Once they got bigger, and started to tweak what was working, I lost interest. Probably haven't checked out the channel in years.

Isn't the whole channel being disbanded?
