Medium in 3D Hit or Miss

Well. I watched Medium in 3D last night. Not everything was in 3-D, just Allison's visions. So everytime you saw the 3D logo in the left-hand corner of the screen, you had to scramble to put your 3D glasses on, and then take them off after the scene was over.

It was a pain in the butt. All I could think of was the multitude of people all over the country putting the 3D glasses on and taking them off...putting them on...and taking the off...in unison. The execs at NBC must have been chuckling to themselves knowing that they got us all to do this for an hour. (Actually, I gave up about 1/2 way though the show).

Basically, they constructed scenes that would have an element that was oriented towards the viewer in order to take advantage of the 3D opportunity...a cigar sticking out of a character's mouth...a knife sticking out of a victim's back...you get the picture.

I liked the episode though. I love the Medium.

Make your own 3-D glasses for tonight's show!

Don't want to miss out on tonight's 3-D experience, but can't get your hands on a TV-Guide for your 3-D glasses? Look no further! All you need is red and blue cellophane, scissors, and tape or glue (oh, and a printer of course). Go here for directions on how to make your own pair of 3-D Glasses. I found the link at XtineFiles. Thanks, Xtine!

Medium in 3-D

I am a marketing professional's dream. I fall for everything. I buy things at the grocery store just because they are on sale; sometimes, I buy stuff I see on informercials; and yesterday, I bought a TV Guide. I don't need TV Guide because I have cable, and the menu is right on the television. I bought the TV Guide for the 3-D glasses.

Yup. That's right. 3-D glasses.

Tonight, the NBC drama Medium is going to be in 3-D, and I'm going to be prepared. TV Guide has just gone to full-size magazine format; and in an effort to get people to buy the magazine, they have done a cross-promotion with NBC and included the cardboard pieces to assemble your own pair of 3-D glasses. I put them together yesterday, and they are sitting on my nightstand in preparation for tonight's episode.

Medium is my favorite show. Ghost Whisper on CBS is a close second. I am a sucker for anything supernatural. I'll report back, and let you know how the episode is. I don't have high hopes. The last thing I saw in 3-D was Jaws III-D when I was a kid, and that was laughably disappointing.
