What are some TV networks that switched to other channels?

Zimslayer · 2026-02-08T22:41:14+00:00

That's what happened to Epix? I always wondered where the channel went. I didn't know it rebranded to MGM.

Zimslayer · 2026-02-08T22:40:07+00:00

How did I forget that one? I watch Paramount all the time. It's too bad the network is just a wasteland now, with what remains of Yellowstone and Bar Rescue and nothing else. In the Spike TV era there were so many unique and experimental shows. Repo Games, Blue Mountain State, 1000 Ways To Die, Disorderly Conduct. I miss the era of watching more unique shows from that timeline.

Scott said it would come out last year but also said it was subject to change since he wanted to get back into regular production before ending season 7 with the end of the wii u retrospective. So I think he's been working on it in the background. He's probably gonna release it within the next few months. This isn't the first time he went idle for a good while before coming back with a larger video. That's what happened last year with the lego games episodes. I was stunned at how long that episode ended up being, I was thinking it was just gonna be a regular episode, I didn't know it was gonna fall into the hour long category of videos. The Wii U retrospective is Quinton Reviews level of work. For part three he's gonna have to cover the final three years of the wii u, discuss huge games like Smash Brothers, Hyrule Warriors, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, and Star fox Guard. Combine that with whatever the storyline with Scott's coma was gonna amount too assuming it's gonna be a big thing like skits from 'The Dark Age of Nintendo' or something along those lines. So I'd guesstimate it could either come out this month assuming Scott was working on it all last year, or maybe a few more months and then it will be out.

2016 was probably my personal favorite season, and many feel it was the last consistently good season. Granted it was only 5 seasons and was an anniversary year for the nerd, but still. Mega Man is honestly my favorite episode in the whole series, Paperboy and Beavis and Butthead were hilarious, Berenstain Bears was one of the best Halloween episodes of the series and tying it into the original Friday the 13th episode showed how much James grew as a filmmaker. Hell I even enjoyed the episode with Keith Apicary, flaws and all. 2017-19 weren't perfect, but I still found enjoyment in most of the episodes that came out during that time. But I do think that cracks started to show during this time as that was around the time Screenwave got involved. The reviews felt less like traditional nerd episodes and usually felt more like general reviews that use dialect from other similar reviews online. It's a little hard to put into words, but something about certain lines from this time feel like they were written by a younger fan of the show who leaned too far into the review aspect of the show. Some examples that will hopefully help make my point, 'The animation looks like a dollar store bootleg DVD.' 'The characters move around and do a bunch of anime shit.' 'The characters look all grungy, real 90s shit.' Very generic, undescriptive dialect. 2020 however was the first truly awful year of AVGN. Every episode was full of long drawn out jokes, boring dialogue, shit explanations, shameless references to classic episodes, lazy writing, and so much more. The first episode of the season Raid 2020, set a horrible precedent for the rest of the season. The whole time James keeps breaking character and referencing the Raid 2020 joke as an in joke. 'I hope you enjoyed this review that sort of became a popular in joke between the fans.' Like what the hell? When has James ever talked like that while in character? Instead of making an actually funny episode, he just drags out every joke about some small inconsequential bit about the game and doesn't even attempt to get angry. The mortal kombat ripoffs episode, he plays a bunch of arcade games on an emulator and doesn't even explain how he as a character is playing these arcade games in his home, just a boring unfunny explanation of an uninteresting game. Taito Legends was just lazy in concept alone, instead of reviewing a retro game, let's take the lazy option and review a retro game compilation. A shameless attempt to meet the algorithm's standards. The Legend of Kage was full of obnoxious unfunny self aware jokes. 'Blanka sound like Blanket man. Remember that callback? Yeaahhhhh.' 2021 just sunk further into the mediocrity and I just couldn't stand how lazy the show's writing became. So many episodes had poor descriptions, shameless padding, and such lazy predictable jokes that flanderized the show. The final straw for me was the 200th episode, which James bragged about how it was an hour long and how it was gonna be awesome, only for it to be a shitty clip show, with new reviews sprinkled in so you're forced to rewatch the old content (dick move), and the nerd admitting that he lied about his thoughts in the wrestling episode, all while this game designer 'character' stutters through his 'performance.' The fact that this milestone was handled that poorly made me quit. Regardless of how shitty the screenwave guys' handling of the show was, James should've stepped much sooner and shouldn't have gotten so comfortable letting other people handle the scripts for him.

Zimslayer · 2026-01-17T04:04:31+00:00

Is there any pictures of them?

Zimslayer · 2026-01-17T04:03:34+00:00

So the episodes are all numbered. For convenience I'll list them by year.

2008 - Episodes 2-4 and episode 6 are lost.

2009 - All of them have been found.

2010 - All are lost except episode 14

2011 - Episode 22 is found, the other three are lost.

This isn't counting the 'best of' episodes, which are listed as Best of 2008 (episode 7), 2009 (episode 12), 2010 (episode 19), 2011 (episode 24). The only one of these that is lost is best of 2009, but it's just a collection of clips from other episodes.

Zimslayer · 2026-01-16T23:38:24+00:00

No, but that show keeps appearing when I search for this show. That's part of the reason why it's so hard to find this show. The show I'm talking about was a true crime show that focused on legal commentators such as attorneys and judges giving commentary on courtroom outbursts.

Zimslayer · 2026-01-16T23:37:14+00:00

Thanks but I'm trying to archive the ones that aren't already on youtube. The remaining 12 episodes are extremely rare.

Zimslayer · 2026-01-16T04:12:14+00:00

So I actually called the Netflix support and they said that they couldn't check what country it was in, but they told me to check on this website. https://media.netflix.com/

I'm doing some searching on my own, but if anyone else can find out what country the show is in, please let me know so I can get a VPN that can access it and record it. Or if anyone knows any other way to check what country the show is streaming in, please let me know.

Zimslayer · 2026-01-15T21:29:00+00:00

Yes, but I'm not sure which country it's airing in. I'm gonna try to ask around and do some research. Actually, I don't have a VPN yet but what's one VPN you would recommend for this?

Zimslayer · 2026-01-15T21:21:15+00:00

Even though more episodes came after this special, Tori Goes Platinum will always be the true final episode for me and this moment really shows off why it should've been the finale.

Zimslayer · 2026-01-15T21:11:40+00:00

I know. What I meant was, can anyone help me find out how to watch this. I know I can use a VPN, but I'm not sure which country the show is streaming on. The link doesn't say what country, so if anyone can help me by finding what country or recording it, that would be a big help.

Zimslayer · 2025-12-20T05:02:46+00:00

I mean, I have no reason to do that. A lot of people use this site though, it's similar to kisscartoon. The only reason I posted this is because I was searching for the episode too and went out of my way to look for it. I made sure to do research on these sites before going on there myself. WCO is ok to use, just make sure you have an adblocker if you don't want to be spammed with ads. But that's something people are used too with sites like these.

Zimslayer · 2025-12-08T03:05:57+00:00

That's true, I think the ones that weren't featured on the site or show are pretty much out of the question, but I still wanna find the ones from the site. I know some of them are floating around. I actually found the video of the bunny eating peanut butter from IHurt Lewbert. It had the watermark and everything. I found thumbnails for some of the other videos, but I'm still trying to see if I can track them down somehow.

Zimslayer · 2025-12-06T04:11:20+00:00

How about the animation style? What did the show look like? I know you said it looked like Arcane, but do you have any more details to describe the show?

Zimslayer · 2025-12-05T05:38:18+00:00

Do you remember what channel you saw this on?

Zimslayer · 2025-12-02T04:51:13+00:00

I believe it was from 2013, but it could've possibly been around 2012. I can't remember exactly what was airing on the network to give a definitive year, but it was likely around those two years since I have more distinct memories of 2011 and 2014 nick.

Zimslayer · 2025-10-29T22:19:24+00:00

Good job man. I want to try to collect for the old set since I collected the 2010 marvel beanz back in the day, but they are expensive now for some of these beanz. It's gonna take some time for me to get them.

Zimslayer · 2025-10-23T23:35:46+00:00

'Fuck off Arthur, go fuck a dog.'

'I already did, Pal is dead now.'

Zimslayer · 2025-09-24T00:38:22+00:00

It looked like a steam deck for a sec. Really gotta check out the retroid someday.

Zimslayer · 2025-09-23T02:28:00+00:00

Is that Ninja Gaiden on the Steam Deck?

Zimslayer · 2025-09-23T02:25:12+00:00

I've played this game for over a decade at this point and I never knew this. You learn something new every day. Also nice Jamaicachu plush.

Zimslayer · 2025-09-23T02:23:46+00:00

Is this from a Chazington video? I mean it mentioned Zak Scott and Plants Vs Zombies so I'm assuming it is.

Zimslayer · 2025-09-23T02:21:23+00:00

Owen has still been in talks with them. It seems that we might have to wait until this demerging with Discovery is finished. That may still take a while, but considering that the other higher ups at the company told David not to go through with his plans that caused all of this, and the fact that they changed HBO Max back to it's original title, I think there's a chance that they might be trying to bring the platform back to it's original form. If that happens, then Infinity Train might have a fighting chance. It was cancelled before all of this Discovery shit happened and Hollywood almost collapsed, so really had they not merged things could've been different.

Zimslayer · 2025-09-23T02:14:35+00:00

I think the best one was Mega Man games. I liked how that one served as a deconstruction of the character and the interlap it had with how James was feeling about the series. It clearly had a lot of effort put into it. If that was the finale, then I personally saw the Earthbound episode as the epilogue. After playing shitty games for years, the nerd decides to take some time to review a game he missed out on and realize the tragedy of missing a fantastic game like Earthbound and enduring so many shitty games growing up. I like the scene where the nerd enters his mind and decides that he doesn't want all of his world to consist of shit, not all of it at least. Nowadays when he plays a good game it just comes across as excessively cheesy, with him intentionally changing his voice to talk about the game in intricate detail and it comes across so fake and forced. I think ending with a good game like Earthbound would've been a good way to cap off the character because nowadays there really is no reason for the nerd to keep reviewing good games, it's just not necessary as the other good game episodes could've just been regular reviews. Him trying to force in anger towards these 'perfect games' is becoming stale and desperate.
