Kicking off with the unveiling of G4's "official" Pokemon, here's a look at how The BLEEP Esports Show, Attack of the Show!, and X-Play expressed themselves in artistically creative ways (which is a fancy way of saying they made us laugh, they made us cry, and they made us better people for it).

Once again, we have offerings on their respective YouTube channels for The BLEEP Esports Show, Attack of the Show!, and X-Play– and to they're covering a wide range of topics would be a tad bit of an understatement From stealing Pokemon cards from cereal boxes and The Mandalorian's horrible parenting skills to Resident Evil madness,[...]

So far, viewers have been introduced to the G4TVesports YouTube channel's The ___ Esports Show, saw the X-Play and Attack of the Show! YouTube channels activated (with some cool content like Kevin Pereira engaging in some seriously disturbing deepfakes), and more But this Friday's edition is looking to be pretty big How big? So big that there's a[...]
Not that the debut of Ovilee May and Froskurinn (with special guest CaptainFlowers) on the G4TVesports YouTube channel's The ___ Esports Show wasn't more than enough to impress, it turns out we forgot to look over at the Attack of the Show! YouTube channel (and the X-Play channel, now that we think about it) Well,[...]
Now, as big of fans as we are of X-Play and Attack of the Show!, we understand that's not nearly enough to fill a programming day, week, or month (not without more COPS and Cheaters marathons and we're never going back to that again… do you hear me! We're never going back! Never!) So today[...]

So real in fact that they even announced on Thursday that beloved G4 shows X-Play and Attack of the Show! would be returning when G4 relaunches in Summer 2021 But you're probably thinking, "Yeah, but Ray? If you don't mind me calling you that since I know we never met… it's cool? Thanks Anyway, it's[...]
First, that Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn needed to go back to hosting a nightly pop culture-focused show like Attack of the Show! because their chemistry was still very much on point Our second observation was that it was pretty clear that G4 was coming back- but as what? As the return of G4 continues its[...]
The two biggest takeaways from November's A Very Special G4 Holiday Reunion Special (aside from its newest addition, but more on him in a moment) for us were (A) Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn need to go back to hosting a nightly pop culture-focused show like Attack of the Show! because their chemistry is still on[...]
A PS5 Box full of socks? A Nintendo Switchblade? And those are the "lower shelf" ones:
Remember the "Around the Net" segment from Attack of the Show!? Well, G4 fans sure do, and they wanted Pereira and Munn to pull off an impromptu 2020 edition Though the duo obliges, it isn't long until the trip down[...]
By the time the dust settled on the G4 reunion, WWE wrestler Xavier Woods had saved the day- and was rewarded with a relaunch hosting gig.

Back during the glory days of pop culture television network G4, the Attack of the Show! hosting tag-team of Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira may have been the best hosting duo on television (with the pairing of Chris Hardwick and Sara Jean Underwood being our favorite "substitute hosts") With amazing chemistry, brutal honesty, and a[...]
Helmed by programs like Attack Of The Show! and X-Play Then one day it just simply ceased to be and started airing reruns of COPS A casualty of the NBC Universal/Comcast merger As a fan of the network and what they produced at the time, I'm happy to see this be fully funded and head[...]
