However, like most people who complain about the loss of TWIN, you misstate the facts. People like me did not complain about TWIN----we complained about Michael Waltrip. MW went off the deep end after Ken Schrader left the cast. The show was only called TWIN. A more accurate name would have been The Michael Waltrip Show.<br /><br />People like me noted the deterioration of the show along with the growth of MW's ego and bad manners. When we criticized MW, his fans suggested we stop watching if we didn't like him. And we did stop watching. Are YOU happy now?<br /><br />My personal view is that Speed should have followed its own rules and ditched MW from TWIN this year because he was no longer an active driver. They could have replaced him with someone else, anyone else. I think many of the fans like me would have returned.<br /><br />However, someone at Speed seems to think that MW is the franchise. And that no doubt is one of the reasons nobody ever told him to tone down his act.<br /><br />Am I happy that TWIN is gone? The question is irrelevant. It doesn't matter to me. I haven't watched it for three years. It makes no difference to me whether Speed airs the Michael Waltrip Show or not. It does not matter to me what other people watch.<br /><br />I do confess to some mild amusement at the wailing and gnashing of teeth by MW fans. They thought MW was the franchise, and he became that. But if he was the franchise, its failure in ratings must be laid at his feet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-88398744526192787542010-02-27T00:51:25.523-05:002010-02-27T00:51:25.523-05:00Years ago, when cable TV grew rapidly, we had a nu...Years ago, when cable TV grew rapidly, we had a number of new channels, which meant there was now an opportunity to "narrow-cast" more than in the past.<br /><br />It looks like we've gotten past that phase, and now, with more channels than ever, we are returning to Lowest Common Denominator programming everwhere, but now on 200+ channels.<br /><br />To those who complained about TWIN...are you happy now?bknottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216807526240859407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-90433146895381131072010-02-27T00:14:12.370-05:002010-02-27T00:14:12.370-05:00Great comment, share your DW fatigue!
