The Super Bowl

TV Tuesday is back this week after a week’s hiatus. (It wasn’t a hiatus that I enforced, it was a hiatus by the website.)

It’s the biggest spectacle in all of sports–the Super Bowl. It’s more than just a game, it’s the pre-game, half-time show, post-game report and the coveted post-Super Bowl spot to pump up a show. And let’s not forget the commericals.

This week, we turn our attention to…the Super Bowl.

1. How much of this year’s Super Bowl did you watch? Do you watch any of the pre-game hype?
I didn’t watch a whole lot of the pre-game hype. That day I was busy making egg rolls; later I was watching the Rockets beat the Lakers. I did watch the entire game (except when I got up for food and/or beers).

2. What was your favorite commercial during the Super Bowl? Least favorite?
My favorite commercial was the one where the troops were simply walking through an airport and the entire group of civilians there began cheering. Could there have been a better one? Turns out it was a Budweiser commercial thanking our troops. My least favorite was the Blockbuster commercial where the guy simply backed down his driveway to his mailbox; it got old after the second showing.

3. Did you like the half-time show?
It was OK. Nothing too spectacular. I did hear the comment “Most of the kids in the front rows are young enough to be Paul McCartney’s grandkids!”.

4. What’s your favorite food to eat while watching the Super Bowl?
Whatever is available. I made my “World-Famous-In-The-Family” Egg Rolls, and they are always good. We also had some chip dips, some burgers and a lot of other munchies. OH! And some spicy shrimp!

~ BONUS ~ A lot has been made over the years about the post-Super Bowl slot to highlight or launch TV shows. It was the post-Super Bowl spot that brought us the A-Team and the Wonder Years. Do you stay up to watch the post-Super Bowl shows? What is the most memorable post-Super Bowl show you’ve seen?
I don’t really watch that stuff. After the Super Bowl, I went home and did a little work around the house, watched a movie, then went to bed.

    I think that some of those world famous egg rolls need to make it to work for inspection! 2nd shift inspection!
