    I'm just afraid this will start out with elements of realness and then fade into being really fake. Duck Dynasty went that way. It's fresh at first, but then it gets more and more scripted it because maybe their daily lives aren't as exciting as we thought in season 1.

    What I like:
    1) It's a show about pinball
    2) They actually mention a couple of fair-market prices on games
    3) Videography and production seemed top notch

    What I don't like:
    1) It's a "reality" show about pinball
    2) All-too-convenient coincidences are already happening in the sizzle

    It's honestly too early to tell, though I do worry about the show's longevity. Is this something non-pinheads can get into? Maybe they should do a show about the actual flipping process and make it a competition - who can revive the game the best. I'm certainly not a Hollywood exec, just my $0.02.

    I enjoyed the IMG sizzle reel - probably partially because I used to work for IMG. They don't do anything half-assed. What we really need to get the word out is something like an ESPN 30 for 30. Just a good, solid 1-hour documentary played on national tv during prime time to a wide audience.
