I remember a time when G4 was called TechTV, and ZDTV before that, and it didn’t suck nearly as much.

Amen with emphasis. I really miss TechTV. I also think that virtually everyone on G4 (that is, all of their “regular” shows’ hosts) should be run over with a train. And I’d like to see Adam Sessler killed with plastic eating utensils. Compared to him, Gilbert Gottfried is both funny and likeable.

Um…I’m kidding about the mass murder part. Mostly.

Upon learning Michelle was D&D geek, I could only bow my head in disbelief.

Alas, the adage does appear to be true, that all the best women are already taken. (laughs)

In case there’s still somebody here that I haven’t offended yet, I’d also like to point out, as an old school (well…circa ’80s and early ’90s, ahem) anime fan, that Naruto, Bleach and Dragon Ball Z are all basically the same show.

I also like MXC on Spike (so double entendre heavy it’s brilliant)and Super Big Product Fun Show on G4.

It just annoys the hell out of me when I’m trying to watch Ninja Warrior and they’ve got their big ass “bug” up in the corner, where it occasionally obscures what’s going on like on the Warped Wall, advertising the network and then they throw that garbage up on the bottom of the screen advertising “news” stories I could care less about and then, just because they haven’t been annoying enough, they’ve got to put up some stupid “viral video” to cover more of the screen.

Its like they don’t understand that people might actually be trying to watch the show.

Am I the only person who’ll admit to watching MXC?

It makes me laugh.

MXC is da’ bomb!

There they have amazing acrobatic feats for prizes.

Flip the channel here and . . .

pick a case that might have a million dollars. . . but if it doesn’t you can earn more than what is in the case.

And we wonder why we have a problem with obesity.

Good post though MM.

I rooze face! I rooze face!

I haven’t been to the a movie theater in years!
I can’t even remember the last movie that I saw at the theater..

Likewise. Now I love old movies on the other hand. Bogart, Gable, Stewart, (Audrey) Hepburn; good stuff.

Hey if you’re a big fan that’s fine. I’ve got no problem with it. I watch anime myself. Not a lot, but some. As I more or less said, I’d watch anime over television or (new) movies any day of the week.

Oh I agree, with you 100%!

They are all better IF you download them and watch them, in Japanese language with english subtitles.. IMHO

I remain silent, and say keep on.. :)

I’m not much of an anime/manga watcher/reader/whatever, but that’s true, I can’t imagine the amount of change some people would have to drop just to buy all the anime crap they have.

If you don’t watch or read it, now can you criticize it?

DBZ was what I grew up on. Kah-May-Ha-May-HA. That and Gundam Wing X. I loved those shows when adult swim came on at 4:00 in the afternoon.
I do like some of there recent programming, most notably Samurai Champloo, Bleach, Death Note, Shin Chan. And, if you got 10 bucks to spare, go buy Afro-Samurai. All the anime glory with the voice of Smauel L. Jackson. I mean, c’mon.
