Re: Bryant Gumbel
And that's when the NFL decided to follow MLB into oblivion.
Guess we'll all be tuning into our hunting and fishing shows more often... not that they are much better... I mean the production is, but seriously, do we really need 5 shows dedicated to largemouth bass? Roland Martin's about the only one I can stand to watch anymore because at least he fishes for something other than bass one out of every 3-4 shows. Sure Linders does muskee and walleye every now and again, but still it's mostly bass.
How about some trout fishing, salmon fishing, steelhead, and fly fishing, maybe even fly tieing, sunfish and perch fishing, how about some bluegill/brim fishing, and let's not forget catfish (day and night, could do 2 shows). Let's mix in a couple shows of some more exotic fish like peacock bass, piranhas, and sturgeon. Then add some gamefish like snook, bonefish, tarpon, mahi, tuna, and of course marlin and sailfish. Do some sharks too (I know Roland already did that, and that's why I still watch Roland, because at least he makes an effort to mix it up a bit). In fact, you could do a different type of fish every show with a show every day for a year without repeating yourself. If they worked smart they would film about 3 episodes at a time on the same type and them move to the next, that would reduce costs and when they were all done, they'd have about 3 years worth of shows that they could play without repeating one, and at the end of those three years, they can just play re-runs and there would be enough of them that we'd never notice they were reruns.
Wow, sorry I'll get off my soap box now and stop hijacking this thread... yeah Gumbel stinks.
