Has Segway Sunk To A Huge Low?

[Joe Matt]

I heard the rumors and saw it, it seems that the Seg will be on FOX on Nov. 2nd on a new TV show at 9pm called Arrested Developement. You can even win one too.

Oh dear god...

Heaven forbid they are on TV

I know where else you can win one... better odds, too, I bet.[/plug]

Not any TV, but a crappy FOX program to boot. I read the preview and it sounds extra crappy.

It's publicity none the less. I agree that most of Fox's programming sucks (except The Simpsons of course!), however they are still on the air and many people watch it and can't get enough! So I see it as good promotion and I don't think it will taint the Segway any.

Any kind of TV or Movie promotion for Segway is great! TV really sells items (and not just in commercials). It shows that average ppl should want to use them... and that Segways aren't just for a certain class. They are for everybody.

I've seen one person, your average Joe, using a segway in my home town, and that's it. He was using it because it looked like his foot was slightly deformed, but in any case, he was pretty good at controlling it because it was during a street fair with tons of people.

I don't think Segway will catch on, for a while in anycase, for the average person. It's just not worth it. That doesn't mean I'd take one if offered to me though .

FOX is the greatest tv station ever!! I think Dean Kamen should be on the O'Reily Factor!!

Well the Segway has made some NBC appearances too

Anyone remember the episode of Frazier? I don't watch Frazier hardly, but I remember that episode.


BTW, I'm more of an NBC/MSNBC kinda guy

Sure it doesn't.

[gsensel]

The segway will be on the WB tonight that is lower than fox IMO.

[MattK]

I thought the segway looked good on arrested development, I thought the show was really funny as well. Unfortunately FOX didn't bother to buy a segway, they just borrowed it from some local guy.

They did add in a extra "Smashing gear noise" to the segway though :-/
