But INC is gone, and I do enjoy TWIN -- particularly the addition of Chad. <BR/><BR/>So why did they fix the nutty preview/review issue and then immediately shoot themselves in the foot with these interminable profile segments? The pre-recorded stuff sucks the energy right out of the show and makes me hit the FF button. If they can't drop these, maybe they could cut the length in half.<BR/><BR/>I liked seeing the two quieter panelists together. Nobody can compete with Michael for sheer hilarity, and I adore the Waltrip/Knaus shows, but Biffle and Knaus got a chance to show off their own styles of humor ... and to finish their sentences, for once!<BR/><BR/>JD, is it a budget issue that has led TWIN to stick with two panelists? I'd like to see them at least TRY Waltrip/Knaus/Biffle (or Waltrip/Knaus/Schrader?) a few times. That one all-star ep was a disaster, but it was hardly a fair trial.<BR/><BR/>One more panelist and one less profile for me, please.Anne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728185352818161904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-35121547824598124052008-09-30T19:07:00.000-04:002008-09-30T19:07:00.000-04:00I have also come to like KNAUS as the Texas Lady h...I have also come to like KNAUS as the Texas Lady has.As for Waltrip I have got so I can't stand him.AS to grouping him with Biff@Knaus they wouldn't get to say much.

Imagine the outcome if it was a 268 lap race. <BR/><BR/>The feature segment was just plain dumb when you addin the fact that they came back to The Biff to provide additional commentary on his own feature.

Biffle and Knaus have developed a good working chemistry on camera that seems to come from the respect and understanding they have for the role each of them play in the sport. Plus I really like it when they talk technical--I soak it up like a sponge.<BR/><BR/>I can understand why SPEED chose to use the MRN audio with the video showing the last lap duel between the Johnson and Edwards. There was so much excitement in their voices that it puts ESPN to shame. <BR/><BR/>I didn't mind that Nascar Now was postponed--being on the west coast I always have to DVR it anyway. I've gotten to the point in the season where I watch TWIN and will FF through NN if I have time.

Next season they will have three plus Steve on the panel. I hope it's Mikey, Greg and Chad. Imagine the three of them together. I also think SPEED will bring back some kind of Race to the Chase show. This is a good example of a five pound bag....by having it on TWIN.<BR/><BR/>As others have already written, another revamping of TWIN will blow NN out of the water. BTW, NN wasn't all that great.

There must have be a joke we weren't in on as they started laughing at the beginning of a segment, hopefully it's on Nascar.com. I like the idea of all 3 together but I'm not sure if it would throw the chemistry off since it's doing so well. I also don't get the chase guys bit, the numbers don't work and it's only because the other show fell through. That's not TWIN's fault so it shouldn't be their problem to fix. I'm sure we won't see a change there isn't enough of a season left but hopefully it won't happen next year.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-22170083077967296952008-09-29T22:49:00.000-04:002008-09-29T22:49:00.000-04:00I recorded tonight's TWiN but probably won't watch...I recorded tonight's TWiN but probably won't watch knowing that Michael wasn't on, particularly after hearing that there was no "spark" without him.
