LAST EDITED ON 11-02-04 AT 09:48 AM (EST)Cuban just walked in our studio. If he's gonna bust me, now's the time. I'm glad I let DarkLotus do the summary instead.
We're mainly gonna be talking about the Mavericks' upcoming season, but we'll be getting into some Benefactor talk as well, so if you wanna listen, click here. Well, not me, the hosts. I'll be on the other side of the mic, playing wacky sound effects. He'll be on from 7:50-8:30 am Central.
He was pleased with the way the show turned out, and wanted to do it because he'd never done something like this before.He hated the timeslot they were in, and that's what hurt the ratings. Especially in the Mountain Time Zone, where they weren't on until Tuesday morning. Plus other cities would pre-empt it, which really hurt their chances. It seemed like the perfect time at first, but now looking back it was the worst possible slot. But they were up with men 18-34 and won their timeslot in Dallas!
The whole idea was that it was meant to be unpredictable. Reality TV isn't "realistic", and he wanted them to be on their toes, and if anything, he would've explained it a little better up front. He admits that wasn't explained enough on the show.
Doesn't know if there will be another one or not. It was very easy to do tho, so he wouldn't be adverse to it. They were in top 25 in Canada!
Trump sent him a letter said "next time you do a TV show, come to me so you don't embarrass yourself". He responded, "If you want to start another business and not go bankrupt, give me a call!"
Feels Trump is destroying his "brand" with all his overmarketing. And he likes that.
