Can't wait.

Speaking of Jerry Mathers...The dirtiest line ever spoken on television was "Ward, weren't you a little hard on the Beaver last night?"

I watched the hour long show last night. I loved it. Thank you MB and company!..
If there was ONE THING I could suggest....
Please... can you keep the guitars at the same volume as MBs voice?
I watch the shows at night, after my wife goes to bed, as she really doesn't care for them.. I have to watch with the remote in my hand and finger on the volume control to try to keep from waking her up.. I've never produced a television show so I have no idea about how to accomplish what I'm asking, but please,.. you're killing me here...

I loved the show though, (till I had to go to the bathroom)... Makes me want to pick up a .22 target pistol, and swap out the Marlin for a 10/22!!

But what can you expect from a show when the central character is named   Beaver Cleaver.

Ye-Haw.....thanks for the info, Marshal.

Man do I feel stupid..........

I've been so addled this week with so much going on that I thought it was Thursday (even though I went to Wed night church service, duh)..... Then when Santahog posted he watched it last night, that threw me off again.

Oh well, the TV is tied up right now and the show is half over....but I'll hit the 1:30 episode wide open.   ;D

I really like the new format for Shooting Gallary. It is great to see so many youngin's involved. I want to know how Michael can top the Beav?

New format is great!  Always want more information on things like the builds, but you surprise us with improvements every season.

Thanks to all involved!

Thanks!

I think the new format will be a work in process for a couple of seasons...there's a ton that we want to do, but time time time!  I think in the long run the Celeb Shoot-out can be a big deal...I wanted to make sure we "put the stake in the ground." My long-term goal (always assuming that ever-precious renewal) is to "build" each of the main feature stories specifically for the shows. Turns out there's a LOT of moving parts...LOL!

I've tried a bunch of new stuff this season...some bits will inevitably work better than others, but I think you've got to feel your way along (I suppose if we had the budget of, say, AVATAR it would be a bit easier). I think the weekly traing seg on DRTV, which Marshal has been shepherding to completion, is going to be a major hit.

It's like working a jigsaw puzzle without knowing what the final picture looks like...

Thank you, all...

I have found that an exacto knife makes that easier  ;D

The cellebrity shoot felt like a "Top Gear" kind of thing with the celebs shooting the same course of fire and then get stack ranked.

I admit that most of the gun and shooting shows can only hold my attention for a few minutes before my ADD kicks in and I have to turn the channel.  For some reason I actually watched the entire show. Good job guys.   ;D

Loved seeing "the beav" shoot.  I read his autobiography and knew he was a life member of the NRA.  He is a class act.
