So Tom the name is the main thing that is the hangup for you on this? I'm trying to pinpoint the angst about the TVBG. Do I wish it were the full blown TV's that is in other cities. Sure, but alas they didn't put one in Sarasota. They put in this new concept, which by some comments is a 'watered' down version, but it offers great TV drinks, affordable food, and some tiki eye candy. I have been there. I hated the music selection, it's not tiki-phile perfection, but it's better than most other haunts we have on this side of the coast. If this concept helps TV's bottom line and strengthens TV corporate, isn't it better than the alternative of them all going away?
