General TWC Discussion

[Mike M]

Here's a better idea:  Why don't they just abandon the sound effects altogether and go back to focusing on the musical themes?  I can't recall hearing any sound effects during the 1990s and early 2000s on TWC.  They weren't needed as the musical segments were outstanding by themselves.

Exactly.

Is NBC planning yet another green week? I just saw a 5 second bumper immediately following the 9:58 PM EDT LF.

I assumed the samething when I saw that this morning, I think they were just pointing out that they are supporting going green, like anybody cares....

According to TWCMediaKit, the next green week isn't until November.

Thanks for uploading this hilarious moment, Aaron.  I seriously doubt that Mike and Stephanie will ever do another eating contest again!

Woah, Lifestyles graphic on the monitor at 11:13!

Woah, Lifestyles graphic on the monitor at 11:13!

That's been used many times before.

Hm, shows you how much I watch TWC this time of day. I haven't seen a Lifestyles graphic since early last year.

Has anyone ever noticed that ever since WC debuted in HD, the map background for the little desk isn't as deeply blue as it was when A&B relaunched in HD?

A&B:


WC:


notice the lack of detail and brightness.... I wonder if it was accent lighting or if they decided to just change something... I liked it better when A&B relaunched.

Looked much better when A&B launched

From what I'm guessing, the maps were LED lights themselves, just like the map in the original A&B studio. Not sure how they burned out within only a few months of use, but it seems like they did indeed burn out since the right panel went out first, then the center panel only a few weeks later, and then several weeks later, the left panel finally went out.

I thought that map seemed to be getting dimmer with time, but I had no idea it had dimmed out by that much!
