Re: [TV orNotTV] Formula 1 advertiser push

Interesting hearing that about F1. With Jimmy doing that bumper car race I 
thought they were promoting that EV race in Brooklyn. 

I live in the heart of NASCAR country now and its popularity has seriously 
faded in the last decade or so.

[TV orNotTV] Re: Quickie Review: Lingo w/RuPaul

[Diner]

Pretty spot on.

One other thing that annoys me is how they prime the audience to applaud 
over and over for no reason. Ru asks a contestant where he's from, the 
contestant replies "Little Rock, Arkansas," and it gets a HUGE round of 
applause. Then that contestant's partner gets asked the same question, and 
he mentions a town in Arkansas that nobody outside Arkansas has ever heard 
of, and that gets just as big a round of applause. Oh, and did I mention 
this show tapes in Manchester, England? Why are people in England giving 
huge rounds of applause for Podunk, Arkansas? Who knows.

I actually watched some episodes of the Bill Engvall version a few months 
ago on Pluto TV - basically to help me fall asleep! It was an okay way to 
spend a half hour, but I remember thinking at the time that the scoring was 
all screwed up and that the bingo element complicated the game 
unnecessarily. I actually thought "instead of playing to win numbers on a 
bingo board, they should play for money, but have the money decrease as 
they go down the board." And whaddaya know, that's exactly what this new 
version does. Except even with the improvements to the gameplay, it's still 
not remotely exciting. (Hey, neither is "Wheel of Fortune," so what do I 
know?) But it's a fairly pleasant (if annoyingly repetitive) way to spend 
an hour.

One more game show-related thing: the "Superfans" edition of "The Price is 
Right at Night" that aired this week was a wonderful celebration of the 
show and why the fans love it, and it seemed, as Adam Nedeff wrote, a love 
letter to the fans. Catch it on cbs.com.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Tony Romo to be CBS sports analyst

[PGage]

“Intervention” is a loaded and distorted term, as the CBS folks note in the
article. They met with him last offseason to go over some notes, and I
suspect to try to keep his motivation up after he signed that huge long
term contract. Also, there is a history of analysts have souring
relationships with Jim Nantz, and it seems they were worried some of the
early bloom was coming off the rose of that partnership.

I thought Romo‘s broadcasting talent was exaggerated when he started, and
now his decline is being exaggerated as well. When he first started he
could rely on his knowledge of the league and players from when he was
playing; now he needs to do more homework to stay on top of things, and
that is not his jam. His Gee Whiz schtick was bound to wear thin. Still, I
find he still dies about as good a job as any ex QB giving the viewer a
sense of what the keys are, and which particular throws are most difficult.
He’s not great, but I don’t think he sucks either.

Given that it’s the Post and they’re prone to exaggeration, and Romo is a
CBS employee who has a long off season and can be called in at any time to
prepare for a new season, what counts as an intervention? And this supposed
intervention took place in the last offseason. Did it change anything?

Re: [TV orNotTV] Formula 1 advertiser push

[PGage]

And of course F1 is owned by John Malone (the largest private landowner in
the US according to the Wikis). Not sure is one of his corporate interests
is getting more directly into carrying F1 (he used to own a couple of CBS
affiliates).

I have been into F1 for a couple of years now, and have been watching it in
the F1 App, but they are easily watched on ESPN.

Ford just announced they are partnering with Red Bull (or re-partnering; I
guess Red Bull used to be Jaguar Racing, and Ford used to make their
engines).

As Dave says, there are 3 F1 races in the US (most in any one country) and
5 I think in North America. You will most definitely be seeing a lot more
about F1 in US media this year (season starts in March).

['David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV]

 Don't know about the stock investment, but the Red Bull Formula 1 team did 
have a big season launch event in NYC on Friday.

F1 does seem to be having a resurgence in the U.S.  There are three events 
scheduled in the States this year, which hasn't happened in decades.
