>> but I don't know how exciting it will be, for non-shooting folks, compared to other reality shows that have audiences
It seems that they played into the "reality" TV genre, while incorporating real shooters and skills. Perhaps they could have just made it more like a sporting special, like the Olympics? I thought it as alright as a first effort, but am curious to hear what might make it better.
>> I saw it the other day, since I (and most others) don't have any full auto weapons it doesn't seem to be as grounded in the real world as it could be.
I'm pretty sure there will be episodes with handguns, bolt-action rifles, etc.
>> I thought the prodution values were lousy.
You mean the videography, audio and/or editing? Or the format itself? What would make the "production values" better?
>> Specially for the non-shooters, they need to explain the games more fully, and describe the firearms being used.
That's a good point. The "reality" TV format is supposed to draw in non-shooters, but non-shooters have no frame of reference as to what is going on. Imagine an alien from outer space watching baseball or American football for the first time. "What the heck are these jokers trying to do?"
What format changes do you think would help?
