I would watch nonetheless at least program my DDR to record it, and watch it at my leisure. I want to post my resume for the comic sidekick. That is all I am good for, not much to look at, have a face only for radio. Couldnt attact a shark if I slit both wrists. LOL. I could be the one who gets stung by a crown of thorns, or box jellyfish, stonefish. LOL. All kidding aside, it would be a great addition. Move forward with your idea.
 
I can't believe ther isn't more on this thread !! I've seen pages and pages on nonesense here like me misspelling and makeing typos come on lets support this with pages of responses .
 
Not as many folks visit this forum as the Reef Discussion Forum. It probably should have been posted there.

I cannot believe there is a scrapbooking channel and not an discovery channel or something devoted only to the ocean, animal planet only covers bears half the time.
 
I would love to see your show...I enjoyed the book Ultimate Marine Aquariums by Paletta like Ritten montioned! Put that on video and I would not get much done.

It would be my new favorite date night show! I have a reef fan for a wife. Lucky me!

Let's get this show up and running! :)
 
Ben,

I'd watch it for sure, but I think snorvich has a point about the business model. You rarely even see home aquariums mentioned in pet columns for newspapers. After Guppies to Groupers went off the air, there was one syndicated radio show that dealt with fish (Pet Talk Radio). I think it is only a podcast now. I went on it once, it aired at 10pm and again at 2am - the audience was mostly truck drivers and other people driving around at night. National aquarium magazines rarely have paid circulation higher than 40,000 copies per month, and a "bestselling" book on aquariums is one that sells more than 10,000 copies in five years.
We've done a few segments about home aquariums for a regional television show "Zoo Today" and more recently, a two minute spot on our local news "what a zoo". One of my aquarists just did a segment on Friday about "Nemo" and how to avoid problems getting into this hobby. I always had trouble distilling aquarium topics done to a sound bite - can you imagine trying to discuss treating Cryptocaryon in two minutes? Or the ethical issues of buying fish that grow too large?
On the other hand - as a device to actually increase participation in this hobby, a show like you describe could be of real benefit. Hopefully some of the more forward-thinking manufacturers will realize this and help subsidize it.
