can you say...
« on: October 25, 2009, 05:53:55 AM »
BORING!!!! I can't believe I watched this today.. they really paid to have that on TV..?? the PBA could have shown the 2/full games (plus some)of the womens and the seniors instead of wasting time on trick shots.. CHEESE and RICE does anyone really care about trick shots..?? more commercials then bowling too!! show the bowling, pretty chitty way to start guys..

sorry had to rant, what a waste of time..!!

I thought it was great!  Constant action, tips, recaps, highlights, I can't wait for the Motor City Open next Sunday.  Trick shots were fun, nice way to showcase the personalities of the players.  I think it boring when you watch someone for 30 seconds waiting for their spare ball.

Can someone explain to me how this has appeal to non-bowling fans? More about the lead up to the finals matches would have been nice. Show trick shots on Thanksgiving day, while I'm trying to stay awake after eating all that turkey. Not on the first telecast of the season. Sheesh!!

That is what I'm talking about. For the FIRST show this one was kind of a dud.Don't get me wrong, I love the ladies and the seniors, but for the FIRST show and tape-delayed at that, it could have been a better choice to showcase your bread and butter in something other than a "trick shot" exhibition!!!!

If you are doing tape delay in the digital age you shoot a lot and edit down. This gives you great shots of how they did or didn't make the shot. Sadly this was a pretty lame effort by the PBA and ESPN.

And yes, I watch any bowling that is on TV but this one started badly and got worse and I am a fan.

PBA is gone next year if this continues.

Never have I seen them cut up championship matches so we could get a look at some trick shot nonsense... It was painful to watch.. it has to get better because I don't think it could get any worse..

The tips were garbage. I'm surprised we didn't get to hear all about how to work the inside of the ball.

Also, why'd the change the way the trick shot thing was judged/scored? Not that I even really care for it, but the "horse" format was much better. Lame, lame, lame...

The parts of the trick shot thingy I liked were

1) Voss' helmet contraption
2) Barnes literally making Gnome Duke have to go up for 5

I was kinda in/out, but did I hear them say they'd actually be showing a CATS or DigiTrax type graphic during matches to show how the bowlers are playing the lanes? That'd be nice.

Inside. Outside. We get it! This first show reminded me of what the NFL started with its first thursday night game to start a season - an attempt to create a festive atmosphere. At least the NFL's was live.

Let''s face it Tom Clark & Co. are not targeting these shows toward people who are already league/competitive bowlers.  Just as the proprietors have forsaken their base, leagues, for family fun/entertainment, PBA under Clark is targeting the entertainment sector.  I personally don''t like it but I understand that, if PBA doesn''t soon attract a wider audience, there won''t be any PBA.
