They did have Kenny S. on twice this year -- once in the studio when he and Waltrip had fun teasing each other, and once again in a three-person panel they did where he really didn't speak up much.<BR/><BR/>Great show. Never miss it, even when the format was "backwards". I hope they bring the show back mostly intact, maybe adding fewer pre-packaged montages and more discussion, perhaps even with a third driver (Ken, we need you buddy!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43013743132769510162008-11-18T13:59:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:59:00.000-05:00oh, BTW--Greg totally got Michael back with the tr...oh, BTW--Greg totally got Michael back with the trading card--that was hysterical...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-84664349770371847472008-11-18T13:24:00.000-05:002008-11-18T13:24:00.000-05:00per Anon 9:26 am:""Someone needs to tell Waltrip t...per Anon 9:26 am:<BR/><BR/>""Someone needs to tell Waltrip that the show is not about him and that he needs to stop talking over people.""<BR/><BR/>Heartily Concur.

The show flowed really well and there was some good exchanges between Michael, Greg and Steve. As the season has gone on they've gotten a lot more relaxed and that has made the show a lot more fun and enjoyable to watch. I would still like them to get rid of all the videos that aren't race highlights from that past weekend's races, but otherwise I think the show has really developed very nicely. <BR/><BR/>Anon at 9:26, someone needs to tell Michael the show isn't about him but you wanted to hear him say why David was up front but he wasn't? A little contradictory to say the least! That always seems to be the way - someone complains that Michael isn't asked questions about news about his team(s), then the next person complains that Michael uses the show as a platform to promote his interests too much. There really isn't any winning. But seems whether they like him or not, agree with him or not, everyone pays the most attention to what Michael says and does so he certainly has continued to be a draw for this show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-65218027120141323532008-11-18T11:10:00.000-05:002008-11-18T11:10:00.000-05:00The guys on TWIN certainly came together nicely fr...The guys on TWIN certainly came together nicely from the beginning of the season (so did the format). I still prefer them over NN, though I watch sometimes watch both. I'm hoping for the slight changes that others have already covered: less canned pieces, more NW & Truck coverage, maybe a third panelist (but I don't know if that would help or hurt the chemistry). Thanks for a great season to all involved.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful off-season everyone!rb218https://www.blogger.com/profile/11736975665181739161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-35680641831127056352008-11-18T10:35:00.000-05:002008-11-18T10:35:00.000-05:00Fortunately I do not have to choose since NN &...Fortunately I do not have to choose since NN & TWIN are not televised at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Two totally different programs.

I would have loved to have heard his explanation of how Reutiman ran in the Top 5, and Waltrip ran at the back three laps down. Biffle has improved throughout the season. As host,Byrnes needs to get more focused and take the reins for the show.

What bothers me most is how the show constantly cuts off its own discussions. Highlights are shown, but it's several highlights edited together and it's the editing that dictates how the panelists can comment. If someone wants to talk at length about one specific incident -- too bad, the highlights just keep rolling. Often, the panelists are seeing the highlights for the first time. I'd enjoy hearing more of their reactions and comments, even if it meant seeing less highlights overall. As things are now, the pace stifles discussion rather than encouraging it. <BR/><BR/>But Steve Byrnes has developed into an incredibly wonderful host. It's a little weird that he looks down at a script to read copy but that's a nit. He's made the show a lot of fun. <BR/><BR/>Finally I really, really miss Kenny Shrader. I'd love to see him back on that show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-76022824001746305042008-11-18T08:28:00.000-05:002008-11-18T08:28:00.000-05:00I doubt it'll be included in the SPEED 'marathons'...I doubt it'll be included in the SPEED 'marathons', lol (but if they run 101 Cars you Must Drive, check it out...)<BR/><BR/>I was mildly annoyed that Mikey 'took over' as Greg was trying to show the car that the young fan had made him but other than that, it was a good show.
