I do watch many other "reality" shows, but all of them are competitions (<I>American Idol</I>, <I>So You Think You Can Dance</I>, etc.)<BR/><BR/>It was interesting to see Speedcouch's comments on the poor quality of the Camping World East telecast from Loudon. Interestingly, it was to have been shown again today from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Pacific time, but it was pre-empted for three episodes of <I>Pinks</I>. Maybe the tape was so ugly that Speed decided not to show it again.<BR/><BR/>This could be a great opportunity for another media owner to develop a competitor to Speed to carry much of the racing action that Speed has dropped. And perhaps even the "NASCAR Network" could become reality as well. Certainly, it will fall behind all the major team sports in North America when MLB Network launches next New Year's Day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-14723935857094780272008-07-18T11:47:00.000-04:002008-07-18T11:47:00.000-04:00i was skeptical about it but it turned out to be a...i was skeptical about it but it turned out to be a pretty sweet showAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-78230443548224598222008-07-17T19:30:00.000-04:002008-07-17T19:30:00.000-04:00I'm going to give this show a try but on the later...I'm going to give this show a try but on the later rerun.

Here's an idea for programing how about showing classic racing events whether they be Nascar, F-1, Indy, NHRA whatever RACING so much of Speeds programing is getting farther and farther away from actual racing. If I see another show with the little loudmouth bully from Unique doing his Paul Tuttle Sr. act it will be too soon. Anyone that's ever had the experience of having your car towed by O'Hare Towing won't find this show funny or entertaining been there and done that, most of the time you expect to see a mask when you get robbed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-56762467072929942662008-07-17T10:52:00.000-04:002008-07-17T10:52:00.000-04:00Last night, we were watching the NH Camping World ...Last night, we were watching the NH Camping World East race that I recorded yesterday while working - yeah it's 2 1/2 weeks after the race and then shown at noon or something when most people are working.

Speedvision was fun and very interesting to watch - giving us programs that were never available to us before. And why can't Speed show F1, Super V8 racing, and other racing events as well as 'reality' shows that actually show the reality of alot of peoples' lives who are actually working within the sport? I guess that would be too easy!
