Review by Mike Szymanski

There’s a show in television history that was groundbreaking, hysterical edgy and pushed major boundaries. It’s a show you’ve never hear of, and it’s a show you wish were on today.

But it can never be. G4TV and “Attack of the Show!” were at a time when gaming, the internet, cable TV shows and reality television were in their infancy. The show broke norms, set up innovations that have been replicated on other shows, and made a home for geeks like no other show ever did when it debuted in 2005.

Fans of Chris Gore (of which I’m one), and his reviews in Film Threat magazine, also know that he has been hawking this doc project and trying to raise money for it for years. He finally got it done, and it’s well worth the wait.
