  This is a great first effort and a solid benchmark against which to compare future televised events. My main observation is that the televised bouts would be enhanced (especially for non-fencers) with a lively and knowledgeable color commentary/play-by-play team. Maybe some sportscasting media training for athletes who take on this role. Tell non-fencers about what they’re watching, and pepper the commentary with some interesting anecdotes about the fencers themselves.

  Agree. Perhaps intersperse the interviews so that they are not all together at the start. I kept wanting them to get to the fencing bouts! Commentary on bouts was a bit monotone. Needed more enthusiasm in the voices and perhaps accentuate more the clapping and cheering from the audience.

  I liked the show…saw it on SNY TV while passing through Times Square, was happy to see Fencing on!…Tim Morehouse was amazing for hosting and winning that event…wow…..the play by play was pretty good… Cicma does good things for olympic sports like Tennis, Ping Pong… also works in Football…. he’ll get the Fencing rythm and be good for the sport. Fencing needs to be on big time TV as much as possible… more fencing masters!

  Always happy to see Fencing on TV.
  I think Tim has done a great job. Everything’s close to perfect for a first one.
  A few things I’d like to see:
  First get rid of the cheesy techno music…. Trying to hard to be hip and cool with the wrong choice of music.
  Need to see the red and green light on screen at all times!!! I am a fencer and still can’t figure out sometimes who scored until I see the lights.
  Again, great job.
