Actually David I think it's just you and me. Whenever it comes down to it no one else will stand up for it. It's just easy to b*tch about it on SMF but when it comes down to it no one has the balls to put their name up as a protest to the show's format. The "oh they won't listen" arguments are the current excuses now. Considering that now G4 has lost Direct TV for lack of content on their network it is the PERFECT time for the fans to rise up to make sure it gets right with it's audience. But again.. kids don't see past 5 feet in front of them. For some people, it's more of 'why am I wasting my time' rather than 'I don't have balls to do it' I ask of them why waste time writing it HERE Besides Nova.. you wrote on the thread

That's ridiculous. All I hear from you right now is complaints, yet you say all we do is complain. Like I said on G4's board, organize something bigger than pissing and moaning and I'll participate. I bet others here will as well. I see that Arty has made a G4 account.
I've already commented on things in that topic. Are we e-mailing them? Posting somewhere else? What? Is there a plan?
I second nova's point. G4 hardly listens to the fans, which is why most of the people here stopped caring about the new and creative ways in which they desecrate Sasuke. I'm not surprised people are unmotivated to call G4 on its BS.

I did talk with whoever runs the Facebook Ninja Warrior page a couple days ago, but that went as well as a kick in the nads because the person running it wasn't around for the first one, so the person acted oblivious as all hell from it.
Edit: Just realized was mentioned at G4 already. Guess this is for the people who doesn't know then.

I guess whoever runs the twitter really isn't that familiar with the show. twitter.com/#!/ninjawarrior/status/2182004825128960 Just in case the tweet disappears: arsenette: Please consider moving the last 2 episodes of ANW to March and please reconsider deleting the ANW competitors from NW. RETWEET ninjawarrior: arsenette We get the NW footage straight from Sasuke and TBS. So, if they cut the Americans from Sasuke, not much we can do. My response: twitter.com/#!/MofCP222/status/2195055934709760 @mofcp222: ninjawarrior That's bull. Kevin and Olivia both have been cut on Sasuke in Japan, yet we saw their full runs on Ninja Warrior. arsenetteAnd I just posted on the G4 forums with my words of reasoning. forums.g4tv.com/showpost.php?p=2691493&postcount=14Am I helping?

Thanks. Was away from the computer all night until now. Oti the closest I have to organizing this time is to fill up that thread in the G4 boards with other people other than myself following David's footsteps. I'd hope they'd at least listen to HIM since he's an ANW1 and 2 competitor and a Sasuke 22 competitor. Obviously with a picture we can deduce a lot but you get my drift for ANW2's... well I'll leave that alone but still you get what I'm aiming for (meaning David having at least a vested interest in this). Yeah MofCF222 that's what I mean. I just read what you posted and yeah it seems that he has no idea wtf is going on. I posted 2 more things in hope it explains our arguments. ninjawarrior Please rewatch NW23. No Americans were shown on that. The 3 shown on TBS were Levi, Brian and Rich. G4 cut them from NW23. ninjawarrior The argument for that deletion by G4 was that they were shown on ANW1's coverage (Episode 7&8). This is our concern. ninjawarrior The placement as well of the ANW10 runs within Sasuke only on ANW2 coverage 3 months ahead of NW23 is of concern - spoilers. Now to see if he says anything. I just posted that so I doubt we'll hear anything back until tomorrow.

...Is this what the person is saying?
"TBS is the one making us air Ninja Warrior with no Americans. They give us the Americans' footage separately and then we work to add it back in, just not into Ninja Warrior. Into American Ninja Warrior!"
If this is what they really think, Ninja Warrior is doomed. Talking to the executive producer in L.A., I can tell SHE'S way out of touch with reality, but it seems that goes for a lot of people who work for G4. :/
Should we all make Twitter accounts and bombard them with complains and/or pleas?

Seems the twitter guy is new and hasn't even seen the show he's supposedly promoting... yeah... also I believe he's the same person updating the FB so maybe you guys can ask there? At least they ARE talking to us. Whether all of this will get back to anyone that REALLY is in charge is another subject .. but at least it's moving.. we still have a month until the first episode of ANW2 airs on G4. Luckily for NW I don't have a FB account.. or I would have posted something there too

The "I'm a man" part made me giggle, but that has to be one of the best suggestions so far. I think we all know G4 won't air the thing in the correct order anyway... might as well just lump the ANW2 people together as well.
I'd be satisfied if they used that idea.

I'm fine with everything G4 is doing EXCEPT for putting everything in 2 weeks. They could air one 30 minute episode per week starting in mid-December and end up in March ready for the broadcast of Ninja Warrior 26. They could show the Americans on the Sasuke course the week before the airing of 26 or just include it in the broadcast.
Everyone seems to be missing the point that the time gap between ANW and Ninja Warrior 26 is the main problem.
Like I've said a billion times, they really need to turn Ninja Warrior into a SERIES rather than just a SPECIAL.

That's not what most of us are mad about. We don't want Sasuke 26 to be ruined when the 10 Americans run the course "alone" in December.
Airing it once or twice a week wouldn't do well, I don't think. I know I certainly wouldn't keep up with it. Airing it every week night would be great if there were enough episodes per competition. I agree that it needs to be some kind of series, but that just can't happen. The source isn't big enough.

....and thus is why me and my family have Dish. *ducks the incoming rotten tomatoes*
It's definitely iffy to see what they're going to do now, but one thing will be for sure.....how everything goes with this year's tournament for ANW 2 and Sasuke 26, it's make or break with G4. For me, I enjoy G4 for the main shows of AOTS, X-Play ( I work at Gamestop so I like to hear the reviews and the behind the scenes/progress of games), and of course Ninja Warrior/SASUKE. Everything else of course....BLEGH!!!
Through and through, I'll stick with them since for some things, they actually are trying, but with alot of other stuff....yeah, we'll take a pass, but even I'm going to hope big time that they don't mess it up like in 23.
....if they do mess it up again royally, shall I pass the torches and pitchforks for everyone?

I agree that it needs to be some kind of series, but that just can't happen. The source isn't big enough. I agree with this. It seems there are a lot more proponents to one big marathon than anything else. Which is why I always laughed at people who laughed at me for saying they should just air TBS' broadcast since it's clear NW's highest ratings come during marathons.. that last longer than the actual TBS airtime.. LOL And while I do agree they should pace things better I doubt G4 would abandon this particular formula. They seem to prefer one big marathon then replay that for the next 2-3 weeks then drop it to nothing for 6 months... I doubt heavily that we will get a compromise out of G4 if we start tinkering with their already set schedule of ANW2 in December (which was set in stone as early in friggin' Spring) and NW26 in March (for some unknown reason.. Lord knows they had enough time to edit that...). I'd be willing to either move the last 2 episodes of ANW2 to coincide with the NW26 airing and reinsert the ones that past stage 1 (if any) back into NW26 as to not repeat the problem from ANW1/NW26. gtoneko - G4 is not trying. They are getting worse and worse and considering that they are paid employees for an OFFICIAL broadcast.. it's horrid to think that fans can get things right when the OFFICIAL broadcast is incomplete, inaccurate and inconsistent.

ninjawarrior: arsenette We get the NW footage straight from Sasuke and TBS. So, if they cut the Americans from Sasuke, not much we can do. Pretty much what the guy said to G4Fan on FB. So I'd agree with you Arsenette, same guy.

Way off topic kind of but I don't want to bump an old ANW2 topic so...

Ok, it says WednesdayS at 8pm. This implies multiple weeks.
This could mean they are doing 2 or 3 "mini-marathons" or a full-fledged 10-12 week series.
Of course, it could just be poor writing/editing.

Well it could be that but you also got to consider ANW1 was shown in two marathons, The qualifier and one episode of Semi-Finals one week, Next week the rest of Semi-Finals, Failnals.. I mean Finals.. and the Sasuke 23 runs. So that could just mean they're doing the same of split into two weeks

So that could just mean they're doing the same of split into two weeks I thought of this, but wouldn't they announce it as "catch it December 8th and 15th" instead "starting on December 8th"? The use of the word "starting" makes it sounds like it's a long thing, but, like I said, I could just be G4 ran out of money and put the janitor on editing duty.
