Monsters vs. Aliens trailer, Chuck to air in 3D in February on NBC

This won't come as any surprise to folks watching the absolutely thrilling Chargers vs. Colts matchup on NBC, but 3D has officially hit the mainstream. NBC has been feverishly pushing a 3D airing of a Monsters vs. Aliens trailer on Super Bowl Sunday, and a 3D episode of Chuck will follow later in February. We were even blasted with a shot of Jerome Bettis rockin' some super ugly 3D glasses, of which you'll be able to procure yourself for free in the coming weeks at select Pepsi and Sobe kiosks. Obviously, since the ads were shown to all watching tonight's tilt, no special television will be needed to enjoy the eye-popping content; now, let's just wait and see if any 3D clips are snuck into the actual Super Bowl.

I guess NBC was ahead of its time when they had a 3D Super Bowl halftime show about 20 years ago. waaay ahead.

I thought 3D was said to have hit mainstream with NBC showed a 3D episode of the (then popular) "3rd Rock from the Sun" sitcom 10 years ago.

Joy, headache inducing hours of a show I normally enjoy...

any1 know any "Pepsi and Sobe kiosks" in the NYC area where i can get these glasses?

As someone with a nearly-blind left eye, I am completely non-plussed by the current 3D trend.

Bringing back red/blue 3d is never going to go well with consumers, I much rather have the full color spectrum then some crappy 3d effects. I am much more interested in the true 3d stuff they are doing in movie theaters.

So how will these commercials/show look if we're not wearing the glasses? The same as always?

Does anyone watch Chuck?
I can't imagine watching it *still suck* in 3D.

The wife and I like Chuck...it's light and good for a few laughs. I am sure some of the shows you watch probably "suck" to a lot of others. In basic...no one cares if you like Chuck or not.

I agree with you 100%:
"I'm sure some of the shows you watch probably 'suck' to a lot of others."

Like I dunno, say for example "Chuck" ?

No one cares what you and "the wife" watch either Mike.
Try not to take these comments so seriously.

I do, and I love it.

Oh, great. Now I'm going to need another set of prescription glasses, this one red/blue.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 4th 2009 9:06PM]

Where can we/will we be able to get the glasses?
