Without looking guess the star of the show

After reading the press release, I'm already skeptical. The lack of professionalism shown in the press release, which has numerous grammatical errors, is concerning. They didn't even bother to spell Jeanette Lee's name correctly. It may seem petty, but a professional, quality organization is going to take care to put out a professional, quality product — from the ground up.
If they are doing this to do promote pool and make it interesting and informative to the outside world, then, for God's sake, at least try to spell the names of our sport's standout professionals correctly.
If the producer can't even do that before sending a press release out, what else is he going to do half-assed?

Hmmm.

How do you know he didn't lose 30K to a woman named Janette?

If the picture is anything to go on, I'm sure this show will highlight the classy and sophisticated side of pool hustlers. :killingme:

No one does anything to promote pool. They do it to have a successful business proposition.

It may promote pool and it may not, but hoping for a white knight with pool's best interest at heart is a fool's errand...

Where did you see a press release?

 

[cleary]

Honestly I think, if it can see airtime, could be a hit. Scooter is hilarious and a larger than life character. I wouldn't loan him my lunch money but that's what makes tv shows.

There are several reality tv shows in the works, one of which here in NYC that's green lit and sold. #staytuned

Did I miss it? What channel is it on?

Did I miss it? What channel is it on?

Not on any channel yet. Like a lot of reality projects they go about making a pilot and filming some content and try to sell it to a network. If it gets greenlighted and picked up then it will be on tv. Regardless of what you think about Scooter and Tedder I'd be watching this show. I'm sure it'd make for good tv.

Especially when you get scooter and tedder together...

Good show or bad show. If it's about pool I'm watching it. If it's about pool it's got to be better than 98% of TV.

Exactly so why would anybody use the same use the same title? Didn't even bother to check?

 

[bdorman]

what else is he going to do half-assed?

It's television. Half-assed is above average.

No one does anything to promote pool. They do it to have a successful business proposition.

Dedicated pool players will enjoy the show as much traditional duck hunters enjoy Duck Dynasty, pawnshop owners enjoy Pawn Stars and building tradesmen enjoy any show on HGTV. The shows are hated and reviled by those in their respective industries.

But it could be good television.

 

[AZBombero]

IMHO you can't have a show like this succeed without Jay H involved some how. LOL

No teaser?
