Thoughts on NBC?????

They are done televising races at the end of the season.

Your thoughts?

Good, bad, ugly or indifferent????

Personally, I think the way it is televised is NBC's fault, not the commentators. Too many commercials, not breaking in to crashes and cautions....

I have enjoyed watching them on TNT & at least BP & the others will still be there--not people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Update:

What makes a Dr. a better announcer than Wally???

Personally, I have no problem with Wally. It's his job. He has done it for years.

I'm a fan of NASCAR, but I'm not going to climb up into the Booth and have a go at it.

I can't really imagine the Dr. knowing even 1/2 the stuff the current group does.

Update 2:

Lucky Dog----ARARGGGH!!! <-----Runs, screaming from the room.

No split screens---the sponsors vetoed that. They talked about it on a pre-race thing on SPEED.

    This year NBC did not live up to it's promises. They did not break into commercials to come back on air if there was a caution.

    There was many times, that I'd be outside listening to coverage on the radio, hear a caution, run into the house to see what was happening. Most time I'd have to wait through a commercial or even two.

    I do like BP, but don't really care for the rest of the announcers.

    I'm just looking forward to DW and Boogity, Boogity, Boogity !!

    Screw NBC. Screw ESPN. Screw FOX. The Speed Channel needs to have another channel that's as close to uninterrupted racing as they can get. And it not be Pay-Per-View of course. But if there's a caution or whatever then break the commercial back to the race. Those sponsors are all ready making a killing off the drivers, toys, t-shirts, jackets, etc. It won't hurt their business a bit if they miss a commercial spot or two. Heck, they might even pick-up some business if they weren't so, HEY! LOOK AT WHAT I'M SELLIN'!

    ESPN to the rescue....they should have never lost the NASCAR package in the first place. NBC's coverage has sucked since day one. can some one please tell me why they stuck with a no talent piece of garbage like wally outinback er dallenbach in the first place????

    doc punch gets what he has deserved all along.....the announce position for HIS favorite thing.....racin'. and for those of you who dont know.....dr jerry punch is the head of the trauma center at the hospital where dale sr passed away.

    Good riddance! I hope we still see BP and the gang, but I really couldn't stand NBC's coverage. Additionally, I am so sick of hearing the phrase "lucky dog" I could vomit. Yay for Fox!

    I could desire to confess that i become no longer likely to be sucked into observing a set on T.V. (they take in too plenty time) yet considering that i've got not got cable to observe Monday night soccer, I watched Heroes and that i honestly am waiting for the subsequent episode. i think this could be one in all those that I could desire to get the dvd of. I in the beginning could desire to no longer place the female who's the cheerleader, yet she is the only which got here on Racing Stripes. The teaser for the subsequent episode has me waiting to make certain what's going to take place. The flying guy had me completely stunned whilst it become his brother that could desire to fly. And the guy who's the "father" to the cheerleader, is he donning the glasses from the guy who become killed interior the beginning up? i could desire to flow on and on with questions.....

    Way too many commercials....I keep trackpass pulled up to keep up when there's a commercial, that's no fun, cause you can't see it.
