There's Ninja Warrior...and X-Play (Which used to be good.).
G4's story is without a doubt the most bizarre cable channel story.
I mean, it all started with TechTv (Or Ziff-Davis TV). Great channel, great variety of shows, everyone loved it. They focused on lots of tech, had one show on video games (X-Play, which used to be Gamespot TV and then Extended Play), and Anime Unleashed!...which was the most cathartic, monotoned shit on TV. Oh, and Thunderbirds.
G4 had Icons, Cheat!, Arena (A stupid show featuring one of the american gladiators), and about a dozen other shit programs no one cared about.
Then TechTv sold out, merged with G4. The shit integrated and pretty much ate TechTv. Only Cheat! (Which is different), X-Play (Which isn't funny anymore), and Icons (Which became a show about praising random people in movies and tv.) remained. It went from catering to geeks...to nerds.
