what is a good tv show?

so as those of you who know me may know. Ive got a tv station for video games.

Ive only got a few bits on there right now, but i am hoping to add my own shows soon. And hit other people up for some stuff too.

But I am faced with the problem of what to make.

I mean what really makes a good video game based show??

Do i follow the ground rules that others have put down before me, or create something new.

Not only have there been shows about games on tv , but also sites like this one have and have had shows too.

Do i go factual, or funny. Market towards the masses, or old schools?

Maybe i should make it for the general public. or for geeky uber gamers, the hardcore elite.

Maybe it should have reviews , previews and walkthroughs just like a video magazine. Or instead it should hav nothing but one off features.

I couldnt get interviews very easly, being indie, but maybe i could try that too.

The problem is the lack of any examples on tv. We have had a few shows over the years in the uk.

The best known , most loved and biggest of them was gamesmaster. there have been many others , but none that lasted very long. My actual fave is a show called cybernet. A clips show really, one with a voiceover and an animated tv headded robot wobbling about between the clips. Its was compitent, if not very well informed , and clear speaking. And pleasant. It just gave you what facts it could and showed nothing but the games. Shame it was showed at 3 am or worse, or on a different channel or network each few weeks.

So anyone got any thoughts on what makes a good games related show? What was your fave growing up, and of the last few years. What would you likde to see in a games show.??
