But I would miss the flag background of the header logo.  Also, I'm willing to bet that your monitor's aspect ratio is 4:3.  Unfortunately, the world is moving to 16:9 or 16:10 faster than vertical resolutions are increasing, so the high logo takes up a lot of valuable real estate on widescreen displays that might only have 768 or 900 vertical pixels -- or even less!  But that can be fixed.

And how would you feel after watching a three-hour show with all that red around it?  I can imagine wanting to kill someone before too long.  We want to focus on the contents of the frame rather that on the frame itself.

Still, it's a nice, clean arrangement, with the menus in the right location, and it solves a couple of problems with the current layout.  But what I really want to see is a layout that doesn't have a fixed width.  We've got a lot more width available to us nowadays.  A web site should be able to take advantage of it when a visitor maximizes their browser.
