I owe Attack of the Show a lot (No, G4 doesn’t pay my bills or anything like that). What AOTS does do, is keep me sane. The self proclaimed “…only source for all the stuff you care about” is about to undergo a massive relaunch, and we here at Nerd Appropriate could not be more excited. You see, my line of work can be pretty stressful (there have been stabbings), and luckily AOTS is there each and every evening to help me relax with some good old fashioned laughter. There is only one show on television that manages to deliver the content that tech savy, video game playing, pop culture fanatics really crave… and that show is Attack of Show. *UPDATE* – G4 was actually nice enough to personally send us some press releases with info I wasn’t yet aware of, so check them out!

What is hilarious is that I watched the commercial, which was followed by an Ad… which was the same commercial. That’s good thinking.

I for one am totally excited for this. I’m grabbing some take – out and plopping down for an hour of mind candy.
Mark Holland January 11, 2011 at 5:22 pm

Is there a good way to see the show for people without cable? Blog is looking good dudes.
Jessica January 11, 2011 at 5:29 pm

This is an instance where being cheap and not paying for cable is horrible!!! AOTS is one of the few shows I miss. I’ll tell Alex to watch though.
Ash January 11, 2011 at 5:33 pm

Mark- Sadly G4 does not stream entire episodes on the web. Who knows the reasoning behind this. And thanks for the good words my friend. I’ll be out to California sooner than later.

Jessica – It is a shame there isn’t another way to catch the show. It honestly keeps me sane after a long day of work.
Jackie January 11, 2011 at 5:48 pm

Okay, I might get the online equivalent of being tarred and feathered… but what is this show? So many good things are being said, I have to know…

  Jackie – I promise not to hurt you. AOTS is a live show that airs everyday at 7pm EST on G4. It is also one of the few shows that focuses on everything we here at the site really love: web videos, movies, T.V. shows, tech, science fiction literature, comic books, and lots of toilet humor. So…. It’s pretty much a show designed specifically for me.

I’m excited to see all the new changes. It will be good to have a consistent co-host too..when the hosts really talk and joke with each other (non-teleprompted) is part of what makes the show fun to watch, so I hope that Kevin and Candace will have that fun dynamic.

I liked the set changes. I thought it really gives it a look of professionalism that the show was missing. Other than that the show remains the same…I enjoy as always.

I’m not a fan of Candace yet though. She comes off as a bit forced or that she’s just hoping that no one asks her what her favorite star wars character is.

  Between han and luke, she said luke. If there were a right choice, I don’t know if that was it. =) Still nice of her to video chat with fans online after the show.

    Yeah I wish I would have logged in to that. I guess with Kevin I feel like I am getting someone who is talking to the audience and has some cue cards to keep him on track. With Candace I feel like she is reading the whole time…just uncomfortable. I’m sure it will get better as she gets more adjusted…and I’m sure I’ll just get used to her style.

      I also watched the video chat – Kevin dropped by for a moment and was funny as always. The video chat was enjoyable, but she didn’t seem totally comfortable with it. I think it’s going to take her a while to really be herself.
