Timb,
Maybe we can produce it and sell it to them ?

Or "TBN - the television show", hosted by Muhammad. Special guest stars include such regulars Bird and Soundguy.
Next week's episode includes a visit to Junkman's garage! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't know whether that would increase ratings or scare viewers away. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm thinking the FCC is trying to eliminate obscenity on TV.... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

You would think that with today's technology and TBN's tech-savy-ness (?) that it would be easy to film 20 minutes a week about repairing an old tractor. Take the America's Funniest Videos show - hundreds of home videos that make it onto the screen... change that to be TBN'rs sending in clips of their last repair job.. it could be funny or helpful or both. For more human interest, I'd put in a few minutes on the location and a few minutes on the person (hopefully wearing their TBN hat). I'd also like to hear the tractor fired up and running - maybe a signature sound.

Sorry to get excited, but I think its something a lot of people would look forward to watching. And for someone like me, who has not spent a lot of time with his hands inside an engine, it would be motivational, would help to lower the barrier to buying an older tractor rther than sticking to a 'safer' newer tractor.

By the growing popularity of RFD-TV, and the ever-increasing number of "tractor shows", I'd say you and I aren't alone. I'd look for more "in-house productions" from RFD-TV on the same line as the John Deere specials. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Too many of us "tractor nuts" out there to ignore! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Could you imagine an Overhaulin type show on RFD-TV? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Brace yourselves. They\'re doing it again.

There could be a serious repair show, a comedy version, mabye even one something like a "public access" show. The potential is unlimited. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There could be a show that demonstrated using equipment. (For instance, plowing....) /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Tractor TV is a new arena! Someone has the potential to be the Andy Griffith Show of the tractor world!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I've never watched the show personally, but there is at least one show dedicated to old tractors. I don't know how large the audience is, but if you get RFD-TV they do seem to respond to questions and suggestions. I've found the shows on horse training to be very valuable - it's really a useful channel.
