TNT is unwatchable


Recommended Posts

From 2003

From the production and broadcast side, the NBC-TNT team has been receiving a lot of compliments. However, that has been overshadowed by the rash of complaints about the number of commercials during each of the first four telecasts.

Even the race teams are voicing their displeasure in this area. One team said they timed a recent broadcast, and according to their figures, there were 30 minutes of commercials for every hour of racing.

I didn't time the length of the commercials versus the amount of actual racing that was shown during the July 27 race at Pocono, but I did track the number of laps of racing versus the number of laps we missed while commercials were being shown. The result was not good news to the millions of fans who want to see a lot more racing than commercial breaks.

In the first 50 laps at Pocono, before the first caution flag, the audience was treated to 29 laps of green-flag racing. That means they missed 21 laps while various commercials and promotions for upcoming TNT shows were being shown.

In the next 105 laps, the ratio was 58 laps of racing versus 47 laps for commercials or a promo for another TNT show that we just didn't want to miss.

I guess i will dvr it next week

My favorite part is when Wally Dalenbach was daydreaming.

Alexander: Do you feel that more in 2nd than 23rd, Wally?

Wally: Huh? Feel wha?

Alexander: The wall

Wally: Oh, yea. You do.

I have to give ESPN one thing, they don't do the cheesy crap anymore. At least not to the level of FOX or TNT.

    • Watching Rams/Eagles. Celebrating the St Louis Rams team that won the SB (Warner, Holt, etc..) while playing in Los Angeles seems wrong.  If I were in Los Angeles, no way I would attend a Rams game.  Probably wouldn't attend a Chargers game either.  Becoming a fan of a team that likes to move around just seems like a waste of energy as a fan.  
    • The only responses I am getting after providing statistics to put opinions in perspective seem to be from people who get angry and attack stats and people whose opinions differ from their own.  Have people on the Huddle ever overreacted, exaggerated, been wrong about players before?  Sure they have, so an alternative opinion with statistical support should not cause you to attack me or my views.  I am sorry your public schools failed you.  But your reactions are very revealing--you are stuck in Piaget's concrete operational stage--learn logic, how to debate a topic, and learn the difference between facts and emotional opinions.  When I paralleled Cam's stats with Jones' to point out how remarkably similar their careers have been to this point, It blew some 40 watt minds.  I think Jones, in a better situation, could be good--that should not upset you--
    • penalties and poor hands is what cost us in the RZ Bryce missing "high" in the back of the end zone is not an issue, you're taught as a QB to throw high in the back of end zone were only the receiver can catch or no one The duo of Ian Thomas and Tommy tremble can both go at the end of the season, both been here for multiple seasons and they've barely developed
