VIDEO GAME CHANNEL TO AIR SHOW ABOUT VIDEO GAMES
(Posted 2007-06-27 00:22:56 by basscomm)

In a completely unexpected move, 'television for gamers' channel G4TV is
going to start airing a show that is vaguely video game related.  It's
game-related in that it chronicles the fake lives of the fake people
working in a fake video game development house. It's also animated in such
a way that it looks like it could take place inside of some kind of
NES-style video game system.

"Ostensibly gamer-oriented cable network G4 TV plans to lampoon gamer and
game development culture with a new series animated in the style of 8-bit
video games. Next month, G4 will launch Code Monkeys, which chronicles the
lives of employees at fictional 1980s game company GameAvision, a formerly
independent studio that has been acquired by an oil magnate."

This is being created by the same person that created _Minoriteam_ for
Cartoon Network and _I'm With Busey_ for Comedy Central, two of the worst
and least funny shows that I've ever seen. My expectations of this show
being any good are pretty low at this point, though I hope I'm wrong.

info and a couple of 'screen shots'.
