Is it weird I want to watch you game?

I got introduced to Palladium about two years ago when some friends came across some books and asked if I would be interested in playing. After some time, our GM got burnt out and I offered to take it up. Surprisingly with no experience on my part everyone enjoyed the games, and made me official GM. After all this time though, I feel like my games are lacking. The only thing I have to compare my games to are to those of a GM who swears I am 100 times better at it than he is.
I have searched the internet of Rifts videos, most of which end up for that awful excuse of a video game. But the ones that are for the Rifts that we love, are usually not videos of games at all. Is it weird I want to watch you game? I don't know why, but even I'm a little weirded out when I put it like that. Anyways, while normally I would seek out a game of Rifts somewhere near by and try to find out what it is I am missing or doing wrong, where I live Rifts is a pretty dead game. It also doesn't help I live in a state that has fewer people in it than most large cities, but its home.
I am all for being a GM, I am all for trying to introduce new people to the game. One of my players is a gaming shop owner who wants me to try and start raising some interests at his shop. But until I know what a truly epic game of Rifts can be, or just a game of Rifts run by someone other than myself, I never know what to strive for. I would love to go to the open house next year, as it seems about the only chance I would get to see the game at its best. But the reality is I work and go to college full time with a kid on the way later this year, there is zero chance of me making it there.
I'm not even sure watching a video of people game would help, but since playing a game isn't exactly an option I don't know what else to do.
