I love the show personally.
Attack of the Show: Good or Bad??
Horrible. I hate Maxim and AOTS trys to be like Maxim. Also Olivia Munn is the biggest retard on tv. She is just a crappy low rate model and a low talent actress.

I think the show is incredibly cheesy and rarely ever funny. Most of the sketches they do are akward and poorly put togther, but a lot of people seem to disagree with me, what does the giant bomb community think of AOTS???

You're right. I disagree completely with you. The show is full of total random hilarity and does well to inform on gaming, while also including some pretty hilarious interaction between Kevin and Olivia. (Not to mention the Epic Fail, which is also Epic Win.)
"dude if you think that show is funny then clearly you have a very low brow sense of humor. And as far as informing on gaming, they only inform people who know little to nothing about gaming.Foil_Charizard said:

Olivia Munn in a fatsuit is priceless. Comedy gold right there. I enjoy the show. People look at it too analyitically. if you take it for what its worth its a decent show that provides good insight. They sparked the chocolate rain sensation. Not sure if thats goood or bad. but still give 'em credit.
I've gotta agree with AlexB on this one. Take the show for what it is. They're trying to get their point across and have a little fun. Sure not all of it is funny, but it seems like they know they're corny at times. Plus, Olivia Munn is pretty hot. So that's a plus, even if she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
I used to watch it all the time back when Sarah Lane and Brendan Moran were on the show but since they left its gone to hell in a hand basket. Once they started the general interest format in 2005 I stopped watching G4 COMPLETELY. I don't even watch X-Play anymore. Its really sad too, because that channel had so much good programming back in the TechTV days and even right after the merger.
ugh... this show sucks donkey balls. They talk about knowing different tech and stuff when most of the time it's just them doing really stupid shit like wearing fat suits and making fart jokes.
I like it. I usually watch it before I go to work, cuz I don't really want to do anything else before I go, but if I worked at a different time I probably wouldn't ever really watch it.
The show is pretty awful when you consider how great "The Screensavers" was. Leo Laporte is fuckin' awesome.
I'll repost what I said there. Quoth I:
" I watch Attack of the Show on occasion if I have nothing better to do, and I get some chuckles Pereira here and there and the Loop gives me some decent insight into things, but usually that segment just devolves into Pereira making jokes as he tries to cut off the caller-ins for time. For what is, a hit-or-miss comedy show that says "Look at her boobs, now she's shooting a gun again with some military guys for the umpteenth time.", its definitely "meh", you know, something that's just OK. That being said, it really shouldn't be that, it should be a tech show with humor that comes from banter between the hosts, not what is, Maxim for 13-year olds and pedophiles and Olivia fucking up a line about how dry her vagina is. I like Pereira and I think if you put him in a tech show, he really could be a great host, and not a host with very scripted jokes from the pretty bad writers that the show has. He seems pretty smart and could probably do great when not encumbered by stupid humor for Around the Net. And Olivia is just their for sex appeal, because she's a stupid whore (just my opinion), and not just that, she still manages to misread the teleprompter after three years there. "
Good job G4, keep up the great work!
the tech tv crew all got fucking dicked over. the only ones left are the people on XPLAY
Its a great show for what it is, Its an entertainment show for gamers and geeks. If it was a serious news show then I would say it sucked but its not. I rather like the low bugdet feel of it, makes it more personal.
I'll watch some AOTS if I run into it on On Demand, but I didn't watch the 1000th episode, and I don't plan to. Besides, G4 isn't really reliable because most of the time, they either have a movie playing or have Cops and Cheaters on, which I don't really give a fuck about. The most reliable it gets for a gamers #1 source is X-Play, which seems biased in every way.
Its alright.....until it stops being about video games and tech and instead becomes a show about sex.
