Have it add more entertainment shows. One half Adult Swims, one half Game Informer.
Getting rid of Neal Tiles is a no brainer for starters!

I suggested this in another and I still think it cna done. Be it live-action or animated. Even tv shows with video game themes would cool like Zelda, Captain N, Dragons Lair, super mario bros., q-bert and others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...on_video_games
A list of anime based on video games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...on_video_games
List of films based on video games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...on_video_games
I can see a whole slew of programing for the channel and I bet gamers would love it.
One poster said G4 is own by Comcast and Time Warner and so many other channels are own by Time Warner like Cartoon Network and Turner cause I think Turner Broadcasting System, Inc merged with Time Warner, Inc. so it could be done.

Here's my take. turn the show into a videogame, comicbook, toys and movie news channel.
Have shows that discuss all the video games like XPlay, Cheats and so on.
A comic book show discussing the goings on at Marvel/DC/Image and indies.
A show that talks about upcoming Toys based on Video games, comic books and movies.
Each one has a current talk show where they interview video game people, comic book artists and writers, toy makers and people promoting their movies.
A show spotlighting upcoming movies like trailers and behind the scene stuff.
Keep AOTC to every other day. Monday/Wed/Friday
X-Play 1 day a week
And for God's sake put it all in high Def. I want Olivia Munn in her Lea outfit in HD

If you spray perfume on a pile of doodoo like G4 under Neal Tiles, it's still going to be a pile of doodoo!

Pursuing “digital generation,” Comcast net orders 12 episodes of young-male-targeted show
By Alex Weprin -- Broadcasting & Cable, 3/2/2009 12:00:00 AM MT
Newsmagazines may not draw big numbers on the broadcast networks anymore, but Comcast's young-male-focused cable network, G4, is betting that the format still has legs. The network has given a 12-episode order to G4 Underground, a newsmagazine that will explore issues of interest to the male 18-34 demo the network targets.
“It won't be nearly as mainstream as something like 60 Minutes,” says G4 President Neal Tiles. “It is a cross between 60 Minutes and some of the other newsmagazine shows, but specifically geared toward the digital generation.”
Among the segments lined up for the series are profiles of people such as video-game pioneer turned space tourist Richard Garriott; real-life “superheroes,” about real people who dress up in costumes and try to help their neighborhoods; and a look at the pornography industry, detailing how new technologies it helped pioneer now threaten its very existence. “We think there is an underserved audience in terms of topics that other networks wouldn't really venture to,” Tiles says.
Esoteric subjects such as the ones on tap at G4 have a track record of drawing viewers to newsmagazines and documentaries on other networks. In January, CNBC drew its best numbers ever in both total and demo viewers with Marijuana Inc., a documentary about the business of pot. Likewise, an ABC 20/20 special report last month that saw Diane Sawyer exploring child poverty in Appalachia drew that series' highest ratings since 2004.
Each of the half-hour episodes of G4 Underground will explore two topics, presented in the first person with in-depth interviews. G4 has tapped Morgan Webb, host of its signature video-game series X-Play, to host the series, which will premiere on the network March 29 at 9 p.m.
The pickup comes in the midst of a shift in programming strategy for the cable network. G4 had been stripping new episodes of X-Play and daily tech/pop culture series Attack of the Show weekday evenings. Last month, the network said it would cut back the number of weekly editions of X-Play to three, and AOTS to four. Now the network plans to take the money saved from those shows and use it to develop more original programming.
“We've been seeking to do what we think is best for the business in the immediate term, as well as what is best for the business in the longer term,” Tiles says. “The cutting back on the strips was meant to free up funds so that we could do other projects such as [G4 Underground]; it wasn't a function to try to save money because of the economy, or a soft ad market.”

Perhaps predictably, I throw in a slight reference to Neal Tiles on the G4 forums, and certain people around there don't like it:

Kill Chris Gore, burn his corpse, step on the ashes, set on fire again.
Bring back Sarah Lane and Kevin Rose.
Rose started Digg and is making money on his own ticket...why move backwards?? Sarah Lane is currently unemployed (as per her blog) so that might work....the thing is that they share studio space with E! and are owned by Comcast....making any changes right now will cost money and no one is about that right now

I think G4 has lost it. They were showing Robocop 3, and down in the lefthand corner it said "Movies That Don't Suck".
