"Attack Of The Show!" has been cancelled.

According to TV Guide, two of G4's most popular shows will not be returning after December with "X-Play" being nixed as well. The network, which is undergoing a makeover, is sad to see both shows go.

"'Attack of the Show' and 'X-Play' have been important for G4, and we want to acknowledge the creative people who have helped inspire and showcase the phenomenon of gamer culture," G4 Media general manager Adam Stotsky said. "With more than 3,000 episodes aired between them, we have more than enough great material to honor these innovators and their amazing contributions as we bring both shows to a close."

According to a press release, the network is being rebranded and will "move into a more upscale, sophisticated guy TV space" with the possibility of being named "G4Men."

"Attack Of The Show!" hosted by Candace Bailey and Sara Underwood, focuses on pop culture and new technology reviews. The show premiered in 2005.

Meanwhile, "X-Play" centers solely on video games. Adam Sessler was the original host when the show first aired in 1998, with Morgan Webb and Blair Herter serving as current hosts and Kristin Adams and Jessica Chobot going on to guest host.
