I thought it was a decent telecast. I actually restrained myself and didn't look up all of the winners ahead of time this year, so there was still an element of surprise in it for me. The blue oil was kind of neat, and I bet it was an eye-opener to any casual fans who happened to turn it on. There are a lot of people out there who have no idea that there is anything on the lane at all let alone a specific pattern that forces you to play in a certain area. As for the commentators, I can always take or leave Randy, but I think that Mike J. is a nice addition. As others have said, at least he knows bowling! I yearn for the old days where the Tour had live shows week in and week out throughout the season, but there's no way to turn back the clock and make that happen. It just costs too darn much to travel and set up week to week like they used to. As such, this is the product we've got, so we had better just make the best of it. For those who haven't had a chance to watch it yet, I don't know about a defined schedule, but the ESPN channels almost always replay it at least once during the week. I would check your listings on ESPN2 and some of the other offshoots to see if it will air again sometime this week. It's not uncommon.
