You kids stay off my lawn!
I noticed Folanator's post about the Dec 17 Big 10 Marathon. That fills in a space on my screen until the NFL kicks off on Saturday.
I hate the way the end of the college season wraps up in a flury of big rivalry games, leaves you hanging for a month and then spits out all the big bowl games in 48 hours.
Especially now that networks can tailor a market to meet the needs of any product they want to push, I'm surprised at what isn't on TV.
I go to ESPN and all if find are NFL highlight films, NBA basketball (How they make money on that stuff is beyond me. The only people I know who watch it are the same kids who watch WWF) and college hoops. (and even though the Bucks are 6 - 0, I can't really get into B-Ball until late January.)
Is there someone on the net who knows more about TV programing and can answer some questions I have?
Like, why don't we see more full broadcast replays of college and NFL games? I'm tired of Ed Sabol's Gone With the Wind Superbowl highlight films. I'd like to see the real thing from start to finish. Ooopps, that's right, there's only a handful of decent Superbowl games to re-play... so OK pick out some other classic games from the regular season or the playoffs.
The talk shows suck. Someone gets on and says something rediculous like, "USC will win because Vince Young can't take a hit," or "Notre Dame should be in the Rose Bowl," or "All Michael Vick can do is scramble and throw the dink pass," and then the other three scream at each other for five minutes, a bell goes off and number 1 either says something even stupider than his opening line or they go to a commercial. Is there something out there in the planning stages that will replace this format?
