Are we the only ones who want to be on TV?
Because of the last TV post I was just thinking about this. Many of us (ME) in the MF community have expressed the desire to get MF on television...are we the only ones?
For those of you who are involved in Subuteo (sp?) Shabby J, Eightball, have any of those players expressed a desire to see their game on TV? Norbert, George Diamond, have any of the Rod Hockey coaches expressed a desire to be on TV? Those of you who do slot car racing, 1/32 or HO, has anyone in those circles expressed a desire to see that on TV? Are we as MF enthusiasts just seeking glory by wanting to be on the small screen? Are we crazy? I'm wondering because many of these hobbies seem to be more advanced than ours when it comes to national structure and competitions. This being the case how come they haven't persued TV...or have they? If they have what response did they get? If anyone has any insight please share...I don't have a clue. Do we have a better shot at hitting the small screen if we package ourselves with Subuteo, Scale Auto Racing, and Rod Hockey? I'm just brainstorming but here are few things that I believe. 1. If MF is to be on TV we have to think outside of our box. 2. What ever we do has to be "Good TV" which means that we may have to adjust things in the rules so that our game plays better for TV...some of us may not be willing to do that. 3. We have to get to the "right" people at the "right" time. I have written a couple of treatments for MF TV shows and don't have a soul to give them to. We have figure out how to get to the folks who make decisions. 4. It has to be presented in a way that it will benefit the networks meaning that companies would have to want to advertise during that time slot. They have to see ratings and dollars. 5. We will probably have to get an episode in the can of whatever we do because many won't get our ideas if we explain them...we have to show them. Just some of my thoughts Please share yours DMC |
