Since almost everyone here at least criticizes G4 for the decisions they are making now how about a poll to see if you prefer the pre G4 days as a gaming channel (before Comcast merge), or the spike oriented channel that it is now. Or how about after the merge before becoming spike oriented?

I hated G4 with an utter passion. The shows were horrible. I was definitely a Tech TV fan. I lamented the takeover.. er.. merge..

I liked watching TechTV, and ZDTV before it. I watched a lot of The Screen Savers, TechLive (I think it was), there was Call For Help, and X-Play (It was Extended Play? and something else before it?). What I really liked was their CES coverage.
Everything seemed really professional, but at the same time, not so much that it would make everyone seem like a total stiff. I stopped watching around the time of the G4 stuff. I don't think that had anything to do with it; I just happened to lose interest. After that I checked out X-Play once in a while. I don't know about G4 between the merger and before I started getting into it about 2 and a half years ago, so I can't say much about it.
Now I just watch AOTS, X-Play, and Ninja Warrior of course, and Banzuke whenever it's on and I happen to be awake. I only got into G4 sometime after NW19 when I saw a part near the end of Stage 1, I think it was Terek's run or Nagano's run, then it got me watching the two guys on Stage 2 and I was hooked from there. AOTS and X-Play were usually on before NW and Banzuke, but everything jumped around from there. I check out some of the other shows or specials and mini-series that G4 offers but so far they're nothing I'd want to watch again. There are things they do on AOTS that I just don't care for or see the point, but I watch it anyway. Also not a fan of them shoving Cops and Cheaters into the schedule like 87 times a day, but that's okay, I have my other channels anyway.
For me, I'd like to have some stuff from G4 with a lot of the stuff from TechTV or if it were more TechTV-ish.

I could sit and watch Tech TV for hours when it was on. Invent This!, Call for Help, The Screen Savers, Tech Live, Fresh Gear, Unscrewed had it's moments and X-Play when it was still original and funny. Now, I just watch NW every now and then, otherwise I don't even bother with G4.
