I missed the first 20 minutes, but I liked it.  I don't mind the two-matches-at-once thing, but I hope the PBA doesn't decide it's a good idea.  Apart from the old Dick Webers where it was three games of round-robin on TV, I like one at a time.

I would have liked to not have been able to hear the announcer at the NBS, it would have been more professional had we just been able to hear Bo and Marshall.  I like the old shows with those two, I wouldn't mind getting them back in the booth.

My take:

I did not like the two matches at once at all.  Also, whatever X-TREME announcer on the speakers was kind of cheesy and monster-sounding.  FLUSH!!!

Otherwise, I thought it was pretty cool.  The two match at once thing made it harder to get into the match for me.

In terms of Marshall and Bo, I enjoyed that just fine.
