Thirded.
Thanks for the old intro music, thanks for getting rid of the porno music. Please get rid of the repetitious text at the bottom. We don't need to read what Bert just said he is going to do.

"Great episode! Some quick thoughts:
I understand where you guys were trying to go with the background music, lower-thirds, etc. However, this is the great thing about your company... you don't have to be constrained to the stereotypical "professional television" style of production. I almost never learn things from television shows, but I learn boatloads from Bert every week. It's the raw "let's sit down for 20 minutes and work through a project with an expert" atmosphere that does it for me. No need to dilute it with extra background music and lower-thirds. :)
Other than that you guys are doing fantastic work (especially you Bert!) and I look forward to this show every week. Thanks!

Yet another ditto.
I don't particularly care for any sort of video tutorial but I faithfully download and watch Bert, even when he's dealing with software I haven't convinced my bosses to pony up for yet.

"Great episode! Some quick thoughts:
Thank you for bringing back the old intro music!
Thank you for ditching the background soundtrack!
I could still do without the lower-thirds explaining what Bert is doing.
The old digital set looked a lot better. I don't think this new one fits the rest of the production standards you're setting for yourselves.
You might play with some of the aspect ratios, because Bert said he was drawing a perfect circle and it came out squished on the 16:9.

Thanks for the comments.. just done a little more and wanted to see what a pair would look like. No dark ally I would go down LOL. Same link.
I really only have one suggestion for the cameraman , keep the toolbar in view so we know what tools Bert picks.

Try using a softer eraser when erasing the highlight. Came out very nicely though.

I think my comment was a little hasty. I followed this one along ( as I do all of them each week) and was able to do it with out too many hassles. Just a couple of camera shots of Bert's Wacom got up my nose, but the rest was pretty ok and I managed to get the eye done.
