As I eagerly await the hyped FIRST PAINTBALL TV SHOW the one that would supposedly bring paintball main stream. Well first of all it did not show up on the TV guide as spater factor but as a infomercial which was kind of ironic because in all reality thats what it was. My first gripe is with the host why do they look like pop icons *Brittney and justin* which ruined the whole show why not have actual paint ballers pros that are well known and articulate. Then that blond chick who is on there for god knows why well I know useless T&A don't get me wrong I am all for T&A butt she didn't bring any thing to the show. And im sure all the female paint ballers didn't like her and the chicks walking around with the uniforms half off. I mean women pbers have a hard enough time the way it is without that stuff. Next it jumped around way to much not spending more then a couple of mins on any topic and the topic they did have were adds for suppliers (blond girl walking around in store then grabbing a nuvis what bs). I totally agree pb needs to be on TV to and to get rid of the idea that paintball is a bad sport that is unsafe and dangerous and all this show did was gratify those stereotypes. As great religous leader once said i have a dream well i do to that one day every high school has a air bag paintball field you see ppl with letter mens jackets that have splats on them and are for varsity paintball we have a super boll of our own but most we get paided millions of dollars just to show up:cool: :D. In the future i hope they change the show up it has a some good ideas behind it but its to mtvish i mean im 17 i don't mind that so much but they turned it into a babe winkelmen fishing show all adds not TV or real action they should get some pros and for tips use general not marker specific explain the parts to help younger kids out and help convince moms and dads that jr. needs a paintball gun and that its a safe fun sport. The adds wouldn't be so bad either if there were less of them during the actual TV show or maybe make it into a sort of review of the product that would be awesome. But mos of all some actual pb coverage that would of been really nice to see ppl actually playing

well i didn't get to see it but from what i've been hearing i guess i'm happy i missed it...sounded like it was crap.

they should make it like the old paintball show that was on espn2.
just showed paintball games(mostly pure action) none of this crap i'm hearing they did in the show

Basically, unless you are a total newb, it wasn't for you. It promoted Kingman the whole time, and I was thoroughly bored for the whole 30 minutes. I actually enjoyed a few of the commercials more then the actually program. That is how poor the show was.
