30 for 30 running thread

This thread proves that there is no interest in the Mike and Mad Dog documentary and that no one will watch it.

 

Yup. A thread on a sports journalism board about a documentary about sports talk blowhards certainly is a barometer for the mass appeal of a program.

Join us tomorrow for "large amount of golfers watch The Golf Channel."

 

Welp. It rated pretty much middle of the pack for 30 for 30s. Certainly not a ratings failure by any stretch.

Just goes to show what journalists think will appeal or won't is not always what will appeal or won't.

If we had all the answers, I suppose we'd be running networks.

Go figure.

 

How many 30 for 30s debuted on a night on the calendar where there is zero professional sports to watch?

 

That also focus on a story based in the number one media market.

 

2.51 Rating in New York and .45 rating in the rest of the country.

I don't think there's ever been a 30 for 30 that generated less interest than the Georgie Best one.

Anybody make it all the way through?

 

I'll probably give it a shot, because when I was a kid playing AYSO soccer with my buds (we were the generation that was going to make soccer the biggest sport in the U.S., you know ) we followed the L.A. Aztecs of the NASL when Best was playing for them and we were big fans.

 

I thought it was great.

 

The Baltimore Boys on Dunbar (Md) HS and its stellar basketball run looks good.

Little League one was good. Did Lloyd McClendon not grow after he turned 13. What a douche Jim Palmer was telling Trumbull not be discourage when they're losing by a lot in the third inning.
