Day: February 6, 2006

The Superbowl was boring. The game played like a midseason inter-conference game. The officiating sucked ass. The commercials were almost uniformly boring and unfunny, except for the MacGyver Mastercard ad, and the town full of stuntmen.

The Diet Pepsi ads, in particular, were awful. That said, if you check out the “video rejects” link at the grotesquely named “brown and bubbly” site (shouldn’t they have gotten Sir Mix-A-Lot for that instead of Puffy?), you might have a laugh or two. At most.

On the plus side, the Steelers covered the spread, so my double-or-nothing bet (carrying over from last year’s Superbowl) is expunged. And Amy’s “Frito Pie” chili was the bomb.

I listened to Howard Stern honor Grandpa Al Lewis this morning. He contended that Grandpa should’ve gotten co-billing with Betty Friedan on the front page of the NYTimes. He mentioned that the Munsters was the greatest TV show of all time.

I, on the other hand, was much more of an Addams Family fan. I have no idea if we can draw conclusions about someone’s character from that, the way fans of the Three Stooges are qualitatively different than Marx Bros. fans.

So I’m putting it to you, dear reader! Which is it? The Munsters or the Addams Family? And why?
