I watched the Super Bowl of course. I didn't think the commercials were up to snuff this year, with the possible exemption of the Hulu and Career Builder ones. I tuned in late, and was sorry to hear later that I missed a G.I. Joe trailer with CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON! Game? What game? No, the game was great, even though I had no personal stake in either team. My father pointed out that the whole bit where all the players stroke the Lombardi trophy as it's brought up is because they're trying to make the trophy itself a big deal, like the Stanley Cup. I just though it made the trophy look greasy.

First Week
I didn't watch too much TV this week. I saw a few episodes of Family Guy on Canadian TV (I think it was Global), an episode of Numb3rs and some Canadian news (Global and CTV). Just stuff that I came across while channel hopping to pass the time. There was also a documentary on PBS at the same time as Numb3rs that was talking about some concept in cosmology that happened to be brought up in the Numb3rs episode. How convenient.

Have you seen Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who? He does a great job of being very goofy.
ReplyDeleteThat's where I know him from! I still haven't seen him on Heros, but I'll get around to it.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny. I don't usually watch the Super Bowl, but I did this year. My husband keeps telling me that it was the best Super Bowl he has seen. This confuses me, because he is a New England Patriots fan. I did like the commercials, though, and enjoyed the 3-D ones.
ReplyDeleteI come from a Patriots family too. We're not big sports people, it's just a local pride thing. I think the game was so good because of all the tension and close calls and last minute saves. That's the sort of thing a game would be like if someone wrote it. (Paranoid conspiracy theories on a postcard please.)
ReplyDeleteFamily Guy is so funny. I thought there were a few good commercials this year, the Doritos one absolutely cracked me up though :)
ReplyDeleteWhich Doritos ad? I liked the one with the snow globe, but the "bite a chip and your wish comes true" or whatever one was just okay.
