When word leaked out in October, 2005 that England’s Michael Davies – the bloke who brought us Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Wife Swap – had just closed a deal to air the World Series of Darts, I thought, like, well, that’s pretty amazing. An eight-part series about darts on ESPN! Holy crap! A million dollar payday! It was a potential life-changing dream come true for some average Joe. It could have changed the face of the sport in America.
