G4 FAQ.
I have noticed tons of people asking questions and they want answers, so i have compiled a few questions and some answers for all those who want to know. Please, if you have more questions you want added to this FAQ, then email me, tekstop@gmail.com. You should also email me if you have questions as well as answers not in the FAQ, that you think should be included.
I heard unscrewed was cancelled, is that true?
Yes, Unscrewed has been cancelled, it ran for nearly 18 months
Is/Are The Screen Savers cancelled?
Yes and no. The show will go on hiatus, returning after the Thanksgiving break. When the show returns there will bemajor changes in the show
What changes will there be?
For one thing, the new co-host, Alex Albrecht has been laid off, along with Dan "Foo" Huard and Joshua "Yoshi" DeHerrera. Most, if not all people from behind the scenes were also laid off, including Paul Block who also worked on Unscrewed. The rumor is that The Screen Savers will be merged with Pulse. According to KevinRose's site people were laid off from 3 other shows. He also states that the show will have more dark tips and still have a tech focus. He says the network wants to "revamp for new shows".
F*** G4, F*** Comcast, why are they doing this?
It seems that G4/Comcast wants to appeal to a larger demographic, or they just want to lost the TechTV image and be more original, that is, more G4-like.
Kevin Rose should leave G4
Kevin himself said he likes doing the show. He can't just leave in any case as they signed multi-year contracts
What about Call-For-Help 2.0? Will it be on in America?
Leo himself says that there is a good possibility
Is X-Play changing
As of yet, no, but don't be surprised if something does happen in the future
What else does Comcrap have in store?
Well according to Wicked-Kitty, who was there to see the final taping of Unscrewed, plenty. For starters, there is supposedly going to be a new show called "Gone Wired, and if it sounds farmiliar, it is. It was a segment from Unscrewed.Also, it's been said the network will be doing a relaunch in January dropping the TechTV name to be known as just G4TV.
An extract from what Wicked-Kitty said:
*First of all, Unscrewed was NOT cancelled due to poor ratings or low viewing numbers. It was taken off the air because that was G4's plan. They bought Tech TV simply to get it's viewership and some of it's properties. Since taking it over they've assimilated Tech TV, stripped it, stolen it's soul, and turned it into all gaming all the time.. so basically they bought Tech TV, killed it, and turned it into G4.
*This is backed up subtle changes that you could notice even around the studio. When we went to our first Unscrewed taping in LA, the sign on the door said "G4 / Tech TV Studios".. now it just reads "G4 Studios". Why you may ask? In January the station will be doing a re-launch and then will cease to be known as G4 Tech TV and will simply be G4. Yes, Tech TV, for all intensive purposes, is gone...
*In addition to Unscrewed being killed, The Screen Savers is also being altered. After today's taping of TSS, the studio will go dark until they start filming again... and when they do, TSS will be very different, if even recognizable. From what I heard they are basically merging Pulse and TSS. Many cast members from G4's Pulse will be taking a spot on the show and what hosts from the current / old school TSS will be left is debateable. I've heard Kevin and Sarah are staying.. but then again Unscrewed was supposedly in the clear too. As for anyone else, it's up in the air. Also, it was speculated from different sources that the title may be changed.
*Completing the raping and pillaging of Tech TV, while Unscrewed WAS cancelled, it is also rumored that one of G4's "new and original series" to be debuting soon will be entited "GIRLS GONE WIRED".. yes you heard right. Cancel the show it came from and then steal the segment.. really classy
It's been said that you shouldn't believe this but i believe it all. Posted this earlier yesterday, everyone was only talking about Unscrewed, then later on, long after this was posted, evberyone found out that it is pretty much true and that Wicked-Kitty had been able to tell us about the "revamping" of TSS well before anyone from the show said so on their blogs. So watc our for January....
