Is Video Game TV Closer That You Think?

Gamer Bitch X writes "Someone's trying to launch a gaming news channel (G4) and someone else is there to chat 'em up. From an interview at UGO where they ask if G4 were to feature a McLaughlin Group-style show, who would be your ideal panel and host?" CEO from G4: "Shigeru Miyamoto, Alexey Pajitnov, Chun Li, Will Wright and Max Payne , hosted by Bart Simpson (I still love him from my Fox Network days)." Okay, I take it back. If the above were true, I'd watch this in a heartbeat!" Riiight. I wouldn't mind seeing a few real shows about video games, but I'd want it hosted by Old Man Murray. It'd be nice just to quickly see video clips, but somehow I doubt that it could be done with integrity. I imagine a video game network being more like an infomercial channel, and well, yuck.

Anyone remember that show from back in the day? Starcade I think it was called? Can't help but think of that when I think of a tv show about video games. It was on back in the heyday of coin op arcade games (mid to late 80's), and the show was hosted by kids as I recall and they'd play arcade games. I loved that show......I was crushed when it was canceled. I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers it. Maybe it was the very first tv show about video games...

Alright, enough pointless nostalgia for one day, just sitting here thinking about it hehe......
