G4TV getting a reboot?... It lost it's way since way back anyway


Remember back in the day when a channel like G4 was something us gamers and nerds could only dream about? With chart topping shows like Cheat, X-Play, Attack of the Show and other great shows like Judgment Day etc. G4 was the ultimate source with gamers in mind and we loved it! Mix all that with a great cast and funny skits here and their and now were talking about something that changed the world in the means of video game TV. Then it slowly started to go downhill axing shows like Cheat and Judgment Day to replace it with Cops and Heroes (I let Heroes slide because it was a great show back then) but slowly moving away from what it started was the first sign of danger Will Robinson!

This is my boo i would kill to meet and or Work with her one day!! 
With G4 slowly losing it's flavor even more upsets revolving around both Adam Sessler leaving and Kevin Pereira taking his leave was even more of a truth behind G4 losing it's flare, now if i turn on G4 i see video games sometimes and "Hot" girls that know nothing about games most of the time and are only around for eye candy. NBC Universal would like to re hash the network to appeal to a more male demographic ages 18-24 and shows that are more "GQ" appeal. Coming in 2013 maybe NBC wants to keep the "Tech Savvy" roots but i think video games would be shown less if anything, I've already lost my focus on G4 and not surprised they got bought out and are getting a new reboot of sorts. While the veteran shows like X-play and Attack of the Show might not be leaving the new network at first it seems like we need to do something about networks and video game content back on TV.

Adam Sessler has left the building gamers..


For as long as i can remember Adam Sessler has been involved with the gaming world since i was in diapers playing Super Mario and he has done so much for gaming as a whole as an industry, sadly though he has left G4TV. He's been the face behind the network since it was ZDTV in 1998 and the co-host of X-Play along Morgan Webb and others at G4. Seems like this has been long overdue if you ask me, with X-Play changing from a chill show where him and Morgan talked and reviewed games with superbly written sketches in between now it seems like a show that is trying to hard with a lot of questionable review scores. I have been at odds with Adam sometimes but as a reviewer and journalist your not going to agree with everyone and you've got to tell your own truth about something, some might like it others won't but it doesn't change what you think.


With G4TV as a network showing less gaming content and re runs of Cops, Heroes and other shows that had nothing to do with gaming and axing good shows like Cheat did Adam possibly see the drop of gaming content and speak up to get the network back to its former glory and that ended in a dispute? Not sure the details aren't being specified but i have a feeling it would have helped us, Adam is a very powerful voice and journalist in gaming and i respect him and wish the best of luck to him in his future plans.
