After not revealing their announcement on the actual day that they were suppose, and then giving us a week of re-runs, G4TV and Attack of the Show have finally gotten it together and have announced their big news tonight. Wait for it ...
*big fanfare*
Starting November 3, G4TV will be running new episodes of Heroes on Saturday nights at 10 PM. Yep, that's the big news. The news that they've been waiting 2 weeks for them to get the "OK" to tell us. So basically, G4TV is saying that viewers will be able to watch new episodes of Heroes six days after the episodes premiere Monday nights on NBC. That's great news for the small percent of people that don't own a VCR, TiVo or DVD recorder.
But wait there's more! On October 27 and 28, anyone who missed season one of Heroes will be able to get caught up with the show by watching the Heroes marathon. Wow ... that somehow still didn't make up for the first boring announcement.
I hate to sound cruel, because I really do like G4TV (and all they do to support Destructoid), but come on -- this is what G4 thinks is a big announcement? In the blogging world, some people get fired for hyping announcements like this.

I mean
SUMMA ::shakes fist::
Here I was, pulling for something amazing like a return to...I don't know...video game programming.
Instead, we get more syndication. WOW!
*yawn*
If I missed Heroes the first time, I wouldn't give up my Saturday nights to catch it.
This is the greatest event since Geraldo Rivera opened up Al Capone's secret vault live on national television.

...outta 5...
My IPTV company obviously knows better than to try and peddle crap like G4 to it's users.
Yea, some people are real douchebags.
Or computer, seeing as how NBC.com hosts streaming episodes from the current season.
It's funny. For a second, I almost cared about G4TV.
I mean... Suma, dude, whats up?
Oh heck, I'll say it... it's Meeeh...
It was great, and still ain't bad (specially for catching up on all your nerd centric TV programming), but when the big deal is Heroes, I'd rather have morgan webb stare blankly into the camera for 22 minutes.
I've wanted to C-Blog about this for awhile...thanks for the excuse to.
Nope, the -G- in G4 stands for - Gay. :/
