Sunday Ratings: Steelers Win 2nd Biggest Super Bowl Ever
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Specials, Sports, NBC, The Office, Ratings,
One of the greatest matches in Super Bowl history attracted one of the largest audiences ever:
- Yesterday’s tight battle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals nabbed 95.4 million viewers. Only last year’s contest between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants scored more. (That game rallied 97.5 million.)
- Super Bowl XLIII proved the nation still loves its football. For four years now, viewership has surpassed 90 million.
- Unfortunately, a special episode of The Office didn’t do as well as the game. Despite earning 22 million sets of eyes, the program roped in the smallest post-game audience since 2005.

Super Bowl to Feature 3D Commercial
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Home Entertainment,
You know that some of us dig the commercials more than the Super Bowl itself and although there will be less of them this year because of the bad economy, there will be something to make up for it. This year, in addition to talking creatures and other assorted weirdness, the 60 sec. 3D SoBe Lifewater commercial is the first ever crossover with “Monsters vs Aliens,” the new DreamWorks movie that will be out March 27. Look for the spot at the end of the second quarter. You can get the glasses at local grocery stores, Dollar General and K-Mart. Better hurry as there are only 125 million pairs available.

The Super Bowl Commercial NBC Won’t Let You See
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, NBC, Commercials, Video,
WARNING: The racy content may be considered offensive to some…
Had this commercial featured Victoria’s Secret-esque models holding bottles of beer, I suspect NBC wouldn’t have had a problem with it. But the “bottles” are actually stalks of broccoli and the organization involved is PETA, not Budweiser. So what does that mean? The execs have surprisingly decided to raise the “standards” flag. (You can question the network’s taste in quality programming all you like.)
After watching “Veggie Love,” tell us what you think. Was NBC smart in plugging the Super Bowl ad’s plug…or have we already seen worse?

(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 1/26)
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “Jon and Kate take the kids to see their new home.” The new place comes with extra bathrooms…and a new set of parents.
- The Closer (TNT, 9pm): Series return. “The fate of Detective Sanchez, who was shot three times and airlifted to a hospital, is revealed.” I don’t know how Sanchez is doing, but the suspense has been killing me!
- Bromance (MTV, 9pm): “Brody tricks the final four into attending a fake launch party for his line of designer jeans, where he asks them to walk the red carpet in pants that are entirely too tight.” Huh. I have no idea why people think this is really a dating show.
- Trust Me (TNT, 10pm): Series premiere. “Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanagh star as two best friends working as creative partners at a top-ranked Chicago ad agency.” Kinda like Mad Men, but without the booze and cigarettes. At least not in the office.

The Office Scores Super Bowl Slot
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, News,
Over the past few years, football lovers have been given something almost as exciting to watch after the Super Bowl as they have during the game. Remember when Francie was killed on Alias? When House diagnosed Mira Sorvino while she was at the South Pole? How about that explosion on Grey’s Anatomy?
Well, it’ll be NBC‘s turn to air the game next February and the network has made its post-game choice: The Office. According to Entertainment Weekly, the producers are may even put together another hour-long episode for the coveted time slot. Of course, details about the plans are being kept secret. (I’m going to make an early guess and say that it will somehow involve a wedding or a baby. Or both.)
Super Bowl XLIII will be played on February 1, 2009. Until then, keep yourself busy with The Office when it returns on September 25.
