I had watched the show religiously for a few years - I didn't like it when Leo left, but I could deal with it because I actually liked Kevin - and Leo still had Call for Help (the best show for his personality). When it was just Patrick and Kevin I still liked it because Patrick kept Kevin grounded. When Patrick left and Alex took over it was like they were aiming for a totally different demographic though.
The old show used to have about 25% of it's time set aside for n00bs, 25% set aside for tech news and the rest for the hardcore geek. Now they have 5% tech news, 20% for stupid celebrity interviews and the rest for talking crap for the absolutely lowest common denominator (Kevin talking about his sex life - which would really piss me off if I were Sarah). I'm not an Alex hater - but he didn't know much about anything. With the old show you had the impression that the hosts actually knew what they were talking about, with Alex you could tell he was just a cue card reader.
Oh well, it's obvious that G4 is aiming for a different viewer than me. Which is sad because I freakin loved the show before.
I can't believe they fired Yoshi. He was the only one of the younger generation with legit skillz.
