That's producer-speak for "gotta have the drama"!

See my post on the Rifle section !

[Brian Pfleuger]

No thanks.

Top Shot season 1 is ruined, completely ruined, by the backstabbing, belongs-in-a-noon-time-soap-opera nonsense that happens in between the shooting.

I expect season two to dumb-down the shooting and play up the drama.

[Rattlehead]

They need to remove the voting crap - if you score lowest, you're gone, period. Hold multiple rounds/events/whatever and average the scores at the end if you need to.

But of course, that would eliminate the precious highschool drama.

[Drummer101]

That is why Hulu is so great. I can skip all that stuff

[Magnum Wheel Man]

I have thick skin I sent them an e-mail...

[pesta2]

All I have to say is send Ken (wildalaska).

[Brian Pfleuger]

If Ken was on there, I'd watch.

[Magnum Wheel Man]

heck... if Ken was running for prez... I'd vote for him

[Crosshair]

That's producer-speak for "gotta have the drama"!

That's easy. Just dress up like the Mad Hatter. With 12 years of Theater classes I could act the part perfectly while shooting.

[curt.45]

heck I'd do it for the money, if I could shoot better, does that make me a gun whore?

[curt.45]

some how I see Ken walking on the show in a red thong and one of those Russian hats he has.

Now I need to poke out my eyes.

[Buzzcook]

It would be nice to have another person from the forum on the show.

What television needs is more acerbic, dyspeptic, snark. Anyone on the forum fit that bill?

[Darren007]

They need to have Wildalaska and PlayboyPenguin on there!!! To bad Playboy doesnt come on the forums anymore though.

[Jart]

Somebody start a "draft Tamara" thread.

Here's hoping she doesn't quote William Tecumseh Sherman on the issue of drafts.

[Shane Tuttle]

Somebody start a "draft Tamara" thread.

You don't want to do that. If she gets on, there will be no drama in the contests...

[Mike38]

I just applied. What the heck, I’ve been told no before.

[EdInk]

Pass.

[MO. Shootin]

I better pass to. I think I would have already popped somebody and I am a pretty easy going guy.

[SundownRider]

I just applied, can't hurt.

[Olibobwa]

Watch the scam guys!! There's alot they can do with that kind of information! ESPECIALLY going to a gmail account!

[teeroux]

If Ken was on there, I'd watch.

From previous post of his he may distract the other competitors and give himself an edge by shooting naked singing "bohimian rapsody".

I'd bet money he'd win but I don't think that I could watch.

[EdInk]

To the OP:

I know you only have 3 posts. One of which was when announced the 1st season. The 3rd was to start this thread. Assumedly the one in the middle was to announce when the first episode of season 1 was going to air.

I just wanted to give you a little tip, in the unlikely event you'll ever read this visit this forum before announcing the scheduled air date for season 2.
There is a LONG thread about your show
already. To summarize it for you, I started after seeing the commercial and predicted mediocre at best. (I'm often a buzzkill though) and most others said they'd "give it a chance." Well, the general consensus is that the premise is OKAY but after 2 or 3 episodes all the reality show "drama" REALLY hurts the show
appeal to those that really enjoy the shooting
sports and firearms. Most people have quit
watching it entirely on here. (Personally, I flip back&forth between it and family guy re-
runs. The only parts I watch are the actual
shooting practice and challenge parts.
Clearly, I'm not a programming director but
if you want to get firearm enthusiasts to watch your channel more might I suggest.....
Make new episodes of "Tales of the Gun"
Do another season of "Lock & Load"
Do more documentaries like "High Impact:M16"

(I know that you show those re-runs on the Military Channel often but bring 'em to the regular History Channel.)

P.S. Enough with the Tannerite.

[chris in va]

Completely, utterly not interested in 'Top Shot'.

It was great at first, watching the guys trying to shoot unfamiliar weapons, but the surreal target setups and the Jersey Shore style drama quickly snuffed any interest in the show.
