G4's Action Blast

[Sketch]

Is it just me, or when I try to go to g4tv.com, it takes me to Microsoft.com.

Weird...

I noticed that as well. It must be some kind of conspiracy!

Yeah, the link was typed in wrong.

www.g4tv.com/shows/index.html is the way to go. No information on it truely yet though. This is probably the nail in the coffin the G4 is no longer TechTV, nor G4. It's SpikeTV.

Well they didn't say Kaiju Big Battle, just Kaiju. That could mean a small group at G4 dubbing over Ultraman or Godzilla movies in the most unfunny fashion G4's programing has to offer.

edit: Well the KBB has a Q of the week asking what's good on G4 next month and their board is wondering the same thing.

It better be the Kaiju Big Battle that was on MTV2 for awhile... I swear to god if it isn't....

The host of the show did guest star on Attack of the Show, so that's my best guess.

CNN's website mentioned that a name change is possible for the channel when they discussed the acquisition of Star Trek. Basically, the executives at G4 don't know what they're doing and are just acquiring whatever the heck they can from left to right. So I'm guessing by the end of they year, the only real gaming related programming we'll have are X-Play, AOTS (which isn't too much gaming), and Training Camp (if that even counts.)

Yeah, they'll definitely keep X-Play. Comcast bought out an entire network just for THAT show. Now that they have TNG and the original Star Trek coming on their lineup, they want to keep that "geek" aspect of the network as well as bring in more of the "jock" aspect. And we all know how geeks and jocks get along. Tsk, tsk, tsk, shameful Comcast.

Hey, G4's looking for a writer for Icons.... hold up before you think it's gaming, it's pop culture stories they want!!!

I could totally do that. However, they want local talent only which kind of sucks for me since I have no plans to be California-bound in the near or far future. I'm still in a transitional period with this newish computer I have, so I'm in flux for a while now.

But as of Action Blast "trying to topple Toonami," there have been many comers. Some have come close (particularly in-house productions like Adult Swim Action and Miguzi), but most have failed. This new block on G-What-Happened-To-Gaming-and-Tech-Television-Shows appears to be daily morning block at 8 AM in the East, filling in the void left over by Sci-Fi's Animation Station many, many moons ago. Hardly a Toonami toppler, but hey, at least it's not informericals in the morning.

It's in the morning? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally I have something to watch in the morning again. CN and Jetix have bored me far too long.

 

[Nin-Nin69]

Well I will disaprove KBB being on such an awful channel. Yet if they can get some other reasonable shows in the morning, then I won't have to sit through Harry and his Dinosaurs with messages telling their auidence that playtime has no real development on children.

Forget G4 Videogame TV. That concept is being phased out in favor of something young-adult-single-male oriented whose exact form hasn't been worked out yet. We may get a better idea when G4 renames itself.

I think The Man Show's audience is what G4 is aiming at all across the board. I also think they are trying to make their transformation on the cheap, through their own low-cost shows and low-cost acquisitions. (^_*)

 

[Nobody²]

Simple G4 doesn't exist...
Toonami is still the best

 

[NahMan85]

yeah

Is it just me, or when I try to go to g4tv.com, it takes me to Microsoft.com.

Weird...

I just tried myself and it said that it could not find the server. Something fishy is going on around here?

You could just sleep.

 

[Hyper Shadow X]

Would be nice to watch the old school transformers series been years since I last watched them.

 

[sdp]

well, it is indeed Beast Wars, and also Battle BDMon with Kaiju segments throughout the show, it was nice seeing beastwars again and the kaiju is somewhat amusing but they cancelled Call For Help for that and another re-run of AOTS.....

shouldn't this be mirrored(or be moved since it has nothing to do with toonami) to General Animation though? I'm sure other people would like this news, didn't know if i should have created a new therad about it in there or not.

 

[AlphaPrime]

Ah so glad its BW, i wouldn't get up early for anything else TF related except maybe the last ep of Armada and the ep where Starscream dies hehehe. BW is still the best, Cybertron so far coming in to a close second.

Well that's odd. CN is going to be airing Battle B Damon on Friday mornings so why is it on that? Beastwars is on? Oh I'm so there. What time does it start because I don't see it listed on my digital cable schedule for G4 for some reason.

Good point.

I have refused to watch G4 for the following reasons:

• They refused to answer a question I had for The Screen Savers TV program.
• They cut off their chat room to guests, so you have to register with the site.
• The tone of their website is just plain condescending.

Conclusion: G4 sucks monkeys, and I hope my DirecTV stops carrying their channel.

 

[EscaflownePilot]

Wow, I must have missed something.

Since when did Battle B-Daman jump from Jetix to CN? I know I haven't watched Jetix in about a month and a half, but I thought I'd have noticed this.

Secondly, since when did B-Daman have ANYTHING in common with G4's audience?

...and if the show ain't on Jetix, anymore, is the dub still in production for any of the sequel series? If so, is it still going to be done by Sensation Animation?

 

[Wanted]

Well...

Beast Wars... I'll have to record that sometime.

I PRAY they'll still have "Call For Help" (The only Techtv program on G4 along with X-Play)

Recently. I forget when it starts, but I believe it was either this week or next. And I think it's Fridays at 6AM.
