If you happen to like both for different reasons...like I do...watch them both."<BR/><BR/>Exactly.<BR/><BR/>I like both shows for different reasons. And they both give fans different insights into what's going on behind the scenes.<BR/><BR/>This week's TWIN was even bearable in the reverse format because they had some good stuff about New Hampshire set up. Michael's observations are almost always on the money, even when he's goofing off. <BR/><BR/>And did anyone notice how generously he complimented Robbie Gordon's talents as a road racer? He's not someone you'd expect MW to be talking up.<BR/><BR/>Also: "Last time somebody pointed a finger at me like that, he was fixin' to slug me..."<BR/><BR/>The genuine fun that Chad and Steve are having with Michael is reminiscent of the old INC/IWC shows.<BR/><BR/>This week (on the West Coast) as opposed to the previous 2-3 weeks, ESPN actually scheduled NASCAR NOW to start after TWIN finished, the first such scheduling in a long time. I was able to watch both of my favorite shows. In previous weeks Arena Footbal ran long and delayed NN for a half hour once, and an hour plus another time.<BR/><BR/>Randy is a good panelist and I like him a lot, but he's better when there are three panelists, as when he used to appear on SPEEDVISION and SPEED. As much as Rusty annoys me at times, I'd have liked to see Randy bounce some stuff off of him. Mike M is growing on me, but I have to say that there are other journalists who might feed the chemistry a bit better. NN has a tendency to get a "drone" going sometimes.<BR/><BR/>A word about the pre-produced video pieces: FOX and ESPN are very good at the technicals but soft on the content. It's music video stuff. They seem to need to show everybody just how much they can do with their video editing suites or something. It's distracting rather than informative. And the music is almost always loud enough to mask any actual interesting spoken words.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, ESPN continues to produce better scanner chatter pieces, and last week I was really impressed with how much film they had of the principals involved actually speaking on the radio. Makes it a bit easier to follow when you can see them say it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks as always for the info JD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-13580642062760784372008-06-24T21:50:00.000-04:002008-06-24T21:50:00.000-04:00I thought Mikey's denying he ever got mad soon but...I thought Mikey's denying he ever got mad soon but got mad, what was it INSTANTANEOUS (the night he wrecked Casey and then Mikey got parked!) was priceless as was the fuel gauge comment.<BR/><BR/>Heck, I found he and Chad so funny I may have to actually watch the show from the beginning next week without the blinds pulled !! :-)<BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed Schrader's 'reporting' on SPEED REPORT and hope he gets to do those more often, too.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-64374612483573096862008-06-24T21:33:00.000-04:002008-06-24T21:33:00.000-04:00Just finished watching Mondays NN due to Comcast t...Just finished watching Mondays NN due to Comcast technical difficulties. I enjoyed NN and Randy LaJoie is getting better each week and although JB was missed they didn't miss covering anything but the jB's trophy in the studio. TWIN was hysterical, Mikey trying to deny ever having bad behavior was priceless. I very much enjoy Chad's explainations (this is the perspective that is missing on NN)and yes he has a future in TV maybe when Larry Mac retires. I don't what him to get there too soon cause I like having him where he is. As for the comment that JJ must be cardboard-trust me you don't know him very well, he just is not as willing to let it fly as Mikey (let's face is who is). I like the idea that the 2 shows are very different AB carries NN as a News Report. TWIN is the fun of Nascar which is why I started watching in the first place. I am not the type who watches news 24/7 (my job gives me enough of a real life problem solving adventure every day) so TWIN is a must see for me.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-45836399186026133942008-06-24T18:52:00.000-04:002008-06-24T18:52:00.000-04:00I LOVED TWIN last night, they are now getting comf...I LOVED TWIN last night, they are now getting comfortable with each other.

When I watch Speed's shows (which I rarely do anymore), I feel like I am watching a junior high school classroom 10 minutes after the teacher has left the room. For those who enjoy that sort of presentation, I'm happy for you. I enjoy humor, but I left junior high school a long time ago and have no desire to return. I do not find such behavor amusing or entertaining among children or adults.<BR/><BR/>I only watch the Monday edition of Nascar Now, and I find it entertaining and informative. I enjoy the panel discussions headed by AB. My preference would be for fewer guest panelists in the rotation, but I understand that others feel differently. Ideally, I would like to see the same panel each week with a guest brought in to discuss specific events or issues. Geeze - sounds like the old format of Inside Winston Cup. I guess Speed never heard that old adage - IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12881664556082522792008-06-24T10:30:00.000-04:002008-06-24T10:30:00.000-04:00Personally I'm reall fed up with most of SPEED'S p...Personally I'm reall fed up with most of SPEED'S programing other than actual race events. But even the events programing is being stuffed with wat to much ski type BS. I want the news and facts which IMHO NASCAR Now gives me. I can't stand thec stupid clown antics those bozo's on raceday and victory lane offer and I've quit tuning in all this year.<BR/>It's a shame for a guy that kept his TV tuned to SPEED 80% of the time 7 days a week before FOX bought it out, to only watching the actual race stuff now.<BR/><BR/>I just love how ESPN handles NASCAR Now, it is exactly the show we've needed since the bozo's on SPEED killed Krist Voda's show.

Once again Chad and Mike were on their game. Gotta love the answer Mike gave to the fuel guage question. It was so funny, I was laughing so hard. Yes, I did enjoy it. But, I also did enjoy NASCAR Now. The first half hour was fast and informative and did slow down in the last half hour as that was approiate for the topic being discussed to start the last half hour. And they only spent 10 minutes or so doing a preview of a race that I have yet to see.(and that is a good thing) To borrow a comment out of context from TRL "2 thumbs up. Well, maybe 1 1/2. hehehe".
