Syndicated programming so far includes reruns of Parks and Rec , Party Down , Burn Notice,Psych , and rebroadcasts of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

the first two original series announced are
The Getaway ,

Quote:

" a celebrity travel show produced by Anthony Bourdain features travel-loving, well known personalities - people deservedly famous for excellence in their fields - who take viewers to their favorite city on the planet, giving the insiders’ track on their top spots to eat, drink, shop and hang out This includes Aziz Ansari (Hong Kong), comedian Joel McHale (Belfast), musicperson Eve (Jamaica), actress Aisha Tyler (Paris), and José Andrés (Puerto Rico"

Knife Fight,

Quote:

produced by Drew Barrymore and about, per the press release, “underground, after-hours cooking competition where talented chefs go head to head in front of a rowdy crowd of celebrities, critics and die-hard foodies."

The only original G4 program that they will keep is American Ninja Warrior.

haha i like what someone in the comments of ign wrote.
"this channel sounds like it appeals to Schmidt from The New Girl"

[thursday727]

Maybe this will inspire some nerds to be more classy, could be a positive thing.

I'll miss Ninja Warrior and Campus PD.

I think fashion is just one part of it.
I just see it as a more sophisticated upscale version of Spike.

It would make sense to keep her as an on air personality considering she was Esquire's Hottest Woman Of The Year 2012

She left awhile back. She left to be a correspondent for The Daily Show for a year or two now she's an actress and has had a few guest spots and featured roles on movies and tv.

The one with Aziz in Hong Kong should be great.

I think he is just producing it , he has a new travel show on CNN now so i don't think he'd be in two similar shows.
