Not much of a show but it's just the first episode and there isn't much else to choose from at present. It's kinda like when the NFL first started it's TV career in that they had to come up a way to capture the action. Until paintball does this for tournaments all we're going to see on tv is the first place teams making off with the prizes. I'd like to see some game turning shots and game plays but I also understand they're just getting going. It will never be better than the real live action but I'm going to tune back in and support them as much as possible.

I agree with Ekul. The show is just getting started. They have to build up a large fan base and then they will probably get more sponsors/money. But, I think they are off to a good start. They are on the right track, and I'm sure it will get better, so everyone make sure to tune in and support them!

i thought it was kool...i woke up a half hour early then went back to sleep and missed the first 3 minutes of it...then i could barely hear due to loud mouth family members. but from what i saw it was kool. glad they did a history of paintball type thing so that people that dont know what it is could get an idea. also the whole newbie corner with the spyder maintence is kool for the newer players also the shopping trip. throwing a celeb in the mix makes the sport look less barbaric. but i tell u this the paintball footage wasn't no PUSH i tell ya that. anybody notice how on the nppl commercial they just had to sneak in a lil clip of "doo doo brown"(cant think of name) throwin a temper tantrum?? interesting it is....

You forgot the "Yes, but I wish I didn't" option. Seriously though, hopefully next week's will be better (please God, let there be good covering of MGO).

It blew.... the best part of the show HAD TO BE the commericals. :)

But you know what helped me out... now i know how to reset the sear in a spyder, jab it with a flathead screw driver instead of just pulling the trigger.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well put it this way, it's better than nothing. It's great for the paintball community. Look at things like BMX bicycling, it's first shows were terrible, they were really bad, but all the bikers still watched them because they appreciated the sport. As time went on, BMX grew and grew and is still growing, and now there's events like X-Games, Gravity Games, multiple shows, Real TV showings, etc. It's just going to take time for the show to get better and learn more.

If it was as least decent, consider ourselves lucky. Most first shows of anything aren't so great, and this was the first paintball show EVER!

Also, I think we should all give a round of applause to the genious man/woman who invented the TV! ;).

That option has my vote.

I don't think there were enough plugs for Kingmann and Raven...

My friends and I have edited better paintball footage on our home PC with Premiere. Which I wouldn't doubt is what they used for this show. Crap.

I'm not sure if you guys noticed the advertising aspect of this show. This show is probably there for two reasons. Advertisment and education. They want to get paintball mainstream, to do that they advertised mostly for the inexpensive guns.. kingman/tipmann pirahna etc.. this way people won't be thwarted by the high cost of the high end markers I.E. Emag/Angel/Cocker etc.. Think about back when you didn't know much about paintball. Most people don't want to spend 1300$ starting into a hobby. They want to start cheap, get comfortable then move up. All in all sure it wasn't what I was expecting but for what it was.. it did what it was supposed to do. ADVERTISE PAINTBALL!

The hostess with the black hair needs to not wear Spandex again. She looked not so great in her get up. As for the content, while it was geared for entry level viewers and players it was informative, and portrayed paintball in a very positive manner, they just need to get rid of that beginning with the Epic, that's just what's needed some dingleberry pointing a "loaded" marker at the camera. Real Smart.

I was actually on my way to play paintball when it started....Not that I thought it'd be bad or anything, but real life beats any tv show hands down :).
