I admit the last show was better than some that I've seen. (Aug. 20'th show) mainly because it was more like the older format with the high tech news checker and tech around the globe. Mainly just the two of them b.s.ing around. Don't get me wrong. Just because I liked it doesn't mean that I have forgotten what you guys did to Gator. Nothing you guys could do or put on could ever make up for the fact that you killed one of my favorite internet superstars.
Gator, You'll never be forgotten.... NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!!!
JUST SO NO ONE WILL FORGET THAT THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT......
"OMG the Rev3 crew conspired to murder Gator!

the new format is the shit... I gotta say, its awesome...
but instead of having Jay every week, he should be on more often, or at least host IS on specific days for specific topics, much like Gator did...

I've really got to be honest with you. I am totally disappointed with the new format. I deleted my RSS feed of Internet Superstar a few days back. I don't have 10 minutes every day to watch a boring interview. I particularly miss the 2 minute daily L'il Internet Superstar. I liked how you covered a subject real fast and got the full humor out of it. As far as the weekly regular show, I liked it as well but not near as much. I found myself fast forwarding through it in later episodes. Jay's characters seemed to feel like you were watching the same thing week after week. Gator being a sidekick to Martin and sitting making comments on what was going on was fine. I'm a million miles away from being a prude but I found Gator's Gals offensive, mainly for the language. Coach Cole was asinine. The other characters are so memorable that I've forgotten them already.
So, in summary, what you can do to win me back is bring back the 2 minute L'il Internet Superstar and if you have to throw in a longer episode once a week, just do a 10 minute (hopefully not boring) interview of an Internet Superstar. Please, none of Jay's characters thrown it. I know I'm in the minority on this but there you have it.

(What you are about to read were my reactions as I was listining to twim.)
"
OMG I'M LISTINING TO IT RIGHT NOW. AND I'M GOING CRAZY.. HEARING MARTIN SAY THIS IS KILLING ME!!!!! I almost want to cry.
I can't describe my pain..
Wait a sec.. Atleast he said that Gator might be back as a ghost.. (though I prefer the Gator is Jay indiguise idea better..
Yes. Gator was having an affair with your mother Martin... You just didn't know it. (sorry writing this as I'm listing to the podcast) -- I had to say that Martin.. Sorry. I'm just so upset right now.
"It's all based on viewship at revision3" -- Martin Sargent.... Yep that about sums it up... :(
Stop worrying about ratings... Heres the deal. Do one show for ratings.. But do another show for fun. Like infected used to be. Plz stop pushing your loyal fans to the side for the hope of bringing in new viewers.. If you can't see why that is wrong. Then I don't know what to tell you.
I understand that you guys need more viewers to make more money. But arn't you getting enough views from loyal fans??? Also think about all the money you could make from your true loyal fans (like me) who will buy Gator outfits and other merchandise from your rev3 store.. I have an Infected shirt and supported the show the best I could. Will newer viewers who occasionally watch be loyal enough to buy your merchandise? I find it hard to believe that a few new viewers are going to make a big difference expecially when it means alienating your true fans.
Just for the record, I honestly, truely didn't know that Gator was a character until Infected went to video... I knew that his stories were made up and stretched out, but I thought that Gator was Jay... It's hard to explain. I thought he was who he was just an exaggeration of who he was... It wasn't until later that I found out otherwise. Two/three years ago I didn't know the difference. So to me at least. Gator was real. And it probobly hurts me the most to see him gone.
Ok.. Martins Talking again.... Attention spans are shorter.... HAY I'M SITTING THROUGH THIS PODCAST ARN'T I!!!!!!!! LONGER FORMAT. LOWER URINALS. LONGER FORMAT. LOWER URINALS!!!!! (lol. elf bowling joke)
.... (stil listening to podcast)...
OMG. Yes get Fred on your show!!!!
P.S. My picture was once on Infected. It was the one with Martin in a turbin and Gator on a camel. It turned out I messed up and Martin made fun of me a little bit. That's alright though. My mistake. Just trying to show that I'm really a fan. So saying this is more than just a rant. It is a plea with you guys at rev3 to stop screwing around with our shows...
Example.
I used to think of Revision3 as a little company. There were few shows and Aamost everyone I remembered from TechTV days.. Things were good... They were a small band of people who got togeather for the greater good... To bring edgy entertainment to people wanting something different..... They were the ones who got IT. and what IT was all about.
NOW!!
Revision3 is a big corporation (who likes big corporations... Show of hands... Anyone.... I thought not) with interns and way to many new faces to count.
There are so many new people and interns working for rev3 now that it doesn't feel like that small underdog company that was doing something that made a difference.
Now they act more like gaming companies or traditional tv... That is they are more driven to get views on their videos than about having a good time.
What I mean about gaming companies is this.... Game makers make games that they know will sell ( they do this by making something ordinary that no one will hate, but not innovative. Instead of taking a chance on something, they stick to what works because of the costs... This is path I see rev3 going down..
Why get rid of so much content that we liked... I don't even need to name all the examples... Most of us are all to familiar with the number of changes. I've been worried for a wail that Rev3 is going to go the way of techtv. G4 ----aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
I've been feeling this way for many many months, and as time passes I see even more network decisions that make me question the brains behind the operations......... I'm so scared!! It's like watching something you love fade away... Or watching your newborn baby fall down a long cliff with jagged rocks and deady scorpians at the bottom.. And there is nothing you can do to stop it because the guy who pushed your baby of the cliff is SATAN!!!!!
---Ok I might have went to far there....
You get the Idea.

ONE LAST THING.. Why cant you be real and fictional.... AS far as I'm concerned Gator is real... He's as real as Santa or as the immortality rings. (THINK BACK TO THE IMAGINATION EPISODES ON SOUTH PARK!! REMEMBER WHAT STAN/KYLE SAID ABOUT THINGS BEING REAL!!! IF THEY EFFECT YOUR LIFE THAN DOESN'T THAT MAKE THEM REAL???? Why can't you make Gator more real.. He doesn't always have get into crazy, unbelievable situations... A "drifter" who lives out of his truck and steals Martins Wi-Fi was believable.... Even the whole starving crow stories and how "Bruce" got the nickname Gator WAS BELIEVABLE!!!!! Maybe streching the truth a bit (like most good stories do) ---but still believable..
TO ME GATOR'S AS REAL AS EARNEST P. WARELL ... AND THAT'S AS REAL AS THEY COME.

I agree. I swear, people on the internet are such idiots sometimes. Why do people get their panties in a bunch so much because something is scripted (or "feels scripted") on the internet. Who gives a fuck? If it's good content, it's good content. Why does it matter whether the host is reading off a teleprompter or is improvising?

I agree with that. I really enjoyed the wacky stuff. It was funny and different and no one was doing stuff like that. The whole Gator is messing around with Marty's mom was hilarious. :)

I'm listening to the interview right now, and what Sarge is saying really pisses me off. Esp when he says they're trying to strip all the fiction from the show and how people were complaining that it "insulted their intelligence". First off, people need to remove the stick that has been so royally stuck up there asses. Do they honestly believe the character of Gator was meant to fool anybody?? Yeah it was obvious that he and all the characters were played by Jay, that's what made it funny. Second, the fictional parts of the show, zombies and talking squirrels all, are what made the show unique! It's why the show is popular today! Without Gator, without his drifter stories, without all the wacky happenings in and around the shed, Internet Superstar is just another generic interview show that everyone and their dog have been pushing out for decades. Infected/IS was different, it was individual, it was unique. And now they're trying to gut it of everything that made it that way. I don't have time to listen to the rest of the interviews, so I'll just say this and be through with it. If this trend keeps up with Revision3 and all their shows, cutting out all the material that made their shows great in the first place, then Rev3 is gonna suffer the same tragic fate of TechTV. They already canned Dr.Kiki and Neha, who's work I really enjoyed. Now they killed off Gator, my favorite character from just about any show I watch, on and offline. I really don't wanna see who or what gets axed next. I'm all for trying to attract a wider audience, but this just isn't the way to do it. Anyway, I'm done.
Later.
