Just finally got a chance to watch the debut of MLS Wrap via my beloved Tivo... Just a couple of thoughts, but know that I reserve comment of Wheelock and Harkes for a few weeks. Doing this kind of broadcast is not easy and wheels will fall off in the first few shows so I will give some stuff a break.. My comments are more producer and director oriented. While I am a bit critical here, please know that I am very thankful and happy there is a MLS highlight show.... Although without Dir, it won't be as good. 1) For the love of god... PLEASE stop it with the side-to-side ever so slowly moving studio camera. I was going to barf on my coffee table after 30 minutes. speaking of 30 minutes takes me to: 2) Why in the hell is this show an HOUR LONG??? Good golly, they covered only four soccer matches! So much babbling, yapping, stroking of John Harkes, and repeated verbage. SHOW THE HIGHLIGHTS. I am willing to bet that if I went back and timed it, they spent maybe, at most, 20 minutes showing highlights and the rest was yammering. I don't have an hour to kill every week. Not for a measly 4-5 MLS matches. Cut it back to 30 minutes, cram in the highlights and cut WAY back on the Harkes-imitating-Jim-Carey-imitatiing-someone act... If you learn anything from ESPN, it is highlights-highlights-highlights....that is what the people come for. 3) Like the set. The vids running in the background are cool. Like most of the graphics and CG's, but there were errors in every lineup they presented. For some reason, probably to kill time, the graphics just are on screen way too long. 4) Note to whoever that is doing the play-by-play of the highlights: If you are going to use the ultra dumb line "Not enough mustard on that hot-dog" during a show, please don't use it twice. 5) Suggestion: Pre-tape the news segment at the beginning of the show and throw the voice-over onto video of the subject being talked about... Watching Sean Wheelock read the news while a graphic is above his shoulder is painful. Plus if he screws up, he can redo it. Overall, I give the show a "C". It deserves a lower grade, but I am a MLS homer and I am working off the curve here. The bigger problems with the show lay at the feet of the producer and director. The hosts are being asked to carry WAY to much for this to be entertaining for an hour. Looking forward to next week. peet
