Re: "i.am.FIRST -- Science is Rock and Roll" airs August 14th

I like how they focused on the message. However: I wasn't a fan of that much music. I have no problem with putting music in; it's a "hook" for the general populace. Just use some slightly shorter songs.

If I had to offer an overall critique: It was a good show for a first time doing it. If this is done again (and I do hope that it is), I would put in a full match or two from FRC (say, when explaining the game, and use a good match or two--Einstein semis maybe), and show more of the FTC match with will.i.am driving. Maybe go a little more with the "sports show" format used in the beginning. Oh, and spread out where the teams are from a bit; maybe hit up a few HoF teams about why they're in the HoF.


[reflection]
You know, thinking back to all that annoyance over the fields in the pits because of a concert, I think that the disruption was worth it. This was the final product of that. I only wish that there had been some hint of this back when the announcement was made, so there would have been no tempest in a teapot back in April.
