One interesting side effect of the jump cuts is that it caused me to keep a closer eye on the elapsed time. I kept mentally thinking "Hurry up with the review already" when I saw how close to the end it was. This made me a little sad because I usually enjoy the pre-review banter.

Hi Jeff. All your points make sense. Thanks for your criticism. As I mentioned above, I will be evolving this format as time goes on. Hopefully you will see a difference in episode 223 and in Episode 225 publishing tomorrow night.

What the h*ll, I stop watching for a few weeks because I got a new job and have not had time, and this is the first episode I have watched, and my god, I love your show, I think your great, but your new format, looks like a 5 year old who is new to computers did the editing. Choppier than the ocean during a hurricane. I know people have commented that you should make your reviews shorter, which I sorta agree, but dayammmmm Out of 5 stars, I give your format 1/2 star.

Sorry for being so negative. Instead of chopping the h*ll out of your video like this, instead of giving all the nutrition details, just tell us what you dont like about it, if anything, you post the nutritional's on your website for everyone to see. And keep the nutritional graphic on the video. I really liked that in the new format, and by including this you can cut out 30-45 seconds alone by reducing this.

What I would also suggest, since most of your videos came in at 13 minutes, gradually make them shorter, this will give you a way to tweak and make things better as they get shorter, Its like going from 55mph down to 20mph, then speeding up to 35, then down to 15, then up to 30, then down to 20 and so on. Your average video is 13 minutes, try to make your next one just under 9 minutes, then see what everyone thinks and then tweak the next one to get it under 7 minutes and 30 seconds, then the next one 6 minutes 30 seconds, then try to get it around 5 minutes. I really dont think cutting it down to 5 minutes will increase your viewership, but cutting down the time will def help some. I honestly think if you keep it less than 7 and a half to 8 minutes, it will be easier for your viewers to watch, and you will make new viewers happy, without alienating your dedicated fans.

I was going to stop this after saying 1/2 star but I wanted to make sure I gave you some positive feedback and suggestions. Didnt want to just trash the format and thats it.

Hope my rant makes sense!

nice. keep rocking. so many freezer foods! i saw these and now I know what is in side. thanks. helpful.

QOTD: I'd call it Obama Chicken Dance rings. would sell out.

Brilliant! Cock loops is a simply brilliant name for these puppies. I don't think anyone's gonna come up with anything better than that. :-)

I really dug the new intro video but I do have to say I thought the clippy editing made the whole thing feel a little manic!... or maybe that's just me.

cock loops???really?

Wow, I really, really do not like all the edits. I totally lose the flow that is your personal style. I'm OK with the graphic of the nutritional info, though. But, truly, it just didn't feel like the FreezerBurns I know and love.

I'm a recent reader of Freezerburns, so I'm going to refrain from commenting on the format change, b/c I'm not super familiar with the old one either.

As for the product itself?? My very first thought when I saw the box was "leave it to the Americans to come up with chicken rings". I don't mean to be inflammatory, but you have to admit that America probably has more novelty frozen foods per capita than any other country. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that these were a product of MY home country, Canada?!! For the record, I have never seen these in the stores and I'm in a pretty metropolitan area. Ah well, what can you do?

One other thing, calling these things anything OTHER than Cock Rings is just a waste of a perfect opportunity.

Oh Greg I so wanted to like it. But it doesn't have the heart and humor. It is way to hard to follow with it not flowing like it use to. You put so much work into this to just chop half of what you record out the window.
(sorry for posting so late, had a busy day)

Although now I will have "cock rings" stuck in my head the rest of the day.
