    Quoted from epthegeek:

    Yeah, I think a show about tournament players & competition would do more to generate the kind of interest you'd really want to cultivate. Rather than encouraging more people to hawk craigslist in search of ways to make a quick buck.

    I think a competition-based show would be fun, but in order to make it appealing to ... let's say "normal" people, you'd have to do a lot more than just present it like a sporting event, focused on actual rounds of pinball. Find some real over the top characters and play up various dramatic angles. King of Kong style. Be a little goofy with it. Present it as entertainment with a competitive angle, rather than a straight serious competition. That would be my idea for a pinball show.

    Quoted from epthegeek:

    I don't know about the rest of the pinside mass, but IMHO PAPA TV is great pinball TV. Watching great players, running commentary that covers the rules of the game being played. Random players constantly rotating in on the mic.
    I know that's an impossible sell to the non pinball public though.

    Sure. I love it. I don't expect it to be riveting to non-pinheads though.
