    the first quote was wrong imo.. what are u telling .. Pinball is Back? i didnt liked that pitch from the get go

    i mean Pinball has never been away in the first place, there was always an manufacturer making pinball machines.. in this case Stern holded the pinball flame thru the worst decade for pinball after the fall of WMS/Bally.. but they werent gone no no no , u were assuming with that quote that pinball manufacturing or the hobby on its own has left us and its back.. no its not. true pinballers stayed with pinball even when the times were not good.

    i would have said instead! Pinball is HOT!! that should have been more appropiate

    Quoted from Barron:

    Wait, I'm pretty sure that was the premise of that 9 minute pitch.
    How many of these kinds of shows are they gonna try and make? Pinball or otherwise. It just seems like a tired format.

    i agree, its just another money making or blowing chasers show, but then with Pinball as the target..

    i cannot see how that is good for the pinball, other then maybe the awareness of it.
    make an excellent program regarding tournament pinball where people are competing for an fictional one million dollar prizepool ( which doesnt exist but who cares right as it is for television) and the winner gets half a million dollars something like that.. then everyone is in line to play pinball.. or even take it serious.. because that is all what is lacking.. darts for example became very popular because the prizepools were so large it attracted so many people , and in the end they take it serious. and sponsorships from so many companies came in because where a lot of people are the companies would love her or his bizname on it.. and in my opinion that is what it takes.
    and how exciting is it to watch that live on television right
