Exactly right!

Well, now, isnt DFtR the biggest song from any of the bands in the
show?  I guess you could argue that Bad Co. had bigger songs, but
certainly nothing of the quality of Reaper...

Nick hits it right on the head here.  I'm pretty happy with the WATN
feature.  Yeah it's too short, yeah they don't talk about Al and Joe,
yeah they don't talk about HF...BUT at least BOC got positive mention
on a program that goes all over the world.  At this point ANY
presence by BOC on national TV is a good thing.  If you analyze any
of the segments on the other groups, they are woefully inadequate--it
isn't like BOC was slighted at the expense of the other bands.  And
isn't it great to see 3OC on TV big as life?
