Wasn't Cinematech originally a TechTV show?

Came here to post this too.I hope he commentates fighting games full time.
I found the shows like icon, filter, cinematech enjoyable...
much rather have that then cops.
Who the hell is that beautiful woman?
Man, I miss Cinematech so goddamn much.
Where can one find a place to watch it again?
I'm curious, did G4 gain more viewership after the switch to their Spike TV knockoff phase? I thought the channel had decent viewership but the execs wanted more.Ooops.
And it made me go look up what G4 was calling its late night programming blocks.
Nocturnal Emissions? Barbed Wire Biscuit? They must have seriously been going after that 12-year old audience that probably couldn't even stay up late enough to watch it.
And seriously, what the hell does Barbed Wire Biscuit even mean? I have no idea how a person could even come up with that.

I didn't have any interest in Cinematech back when it was airing, but if I'd known the sordid state G4 would be in years later, I'd have watched it every damn time it was on.
Yeah, I didn't know she was so talented in her previous line of work..*google images at work with safe search off*
MUST
NOT
FAP...
That was the greatest thing I have ever seen !
G4 hasn't truly been about gaming in a long, long time. I'm talking about when it launched with shows like G4TV.com, Icon, Arena, Pulse, etc. When pretty much every show was about gaming in some form.
Yup. Gaming and TV is just not a good mix anymore.
I disagree. I think it is a great mix. Just look at YouTube and all of the gaming-related videos on it. Or the entire Gametrailers website. Or Giant Bomb's Quick Looks. If G4 really tried, they could very easily fill a 24 hour block with gaming-related programming. The problem is that they just don't try. Letting Sessler go is the ultimate proof of that.
Well guess I won't be watching G4's E3 beside the live conferences.
Yeah, I didn't know she was so talented in her previous line of work..
I definitely admire her .. body of work.
I'll have to do more investigating later tonight alone at home with the lights off to get a closer look.
Those are some bolt-ons if I ever saw them.

Yeah seriously they look terrible.Those are some bolt-ons if I ever saw them.
Sessler was the only reason to ever watch anything G4 related.
What were the ratings like back when it was nearly gaming only? I can't imagine that they were worse than they are now. I didn't have G4 back when it was like that, but a lot of current gaming related media (podcasts, shows and award events) come across as being an insult to gamers. Whether it be crude humor or people that just don't want to take the time to fact check. So it's never surprising when you see them doing poorly.
been a fan of Sessler since TechTv, may he find a new happy home at GiantBomb.
Seems like good news. Adam Sessler deserves better.
As I recall, ratings were bad. For one thing, back then only Comcast carried it, because they owned it.
TechTV was acquired not so much for its content, but for its viewers and coverage on other carriers, I believe. It was actually getting much higher ratings than G4, but they didn't care about the content. That's why it slowly but surely dismantled everything from TechTV.
