This year's Super Bowl was the best entertainment value in a long time.

The biggest takeaway from yesterday was the game itself.

The halftime was well done, somewhat up to date, and lacked controversy.

The commercials were not oversexualized or controversial - very family and kid friendly for the most part.

It just seemed like good, stress free entertainment for a few hours.

What do you think?

Didn't watch. Don't care. Has zero relevance in my life. Just can't get excited about a bunch of grown men throwing a ball around.

Same here. Had no interest in it at all. From what I could see on the news the wailing of whoever that was singing at the 1/2 time show, was better off left muted.

Absolutely ZERO value to us. It and other sporting events are the present day version of the gladiator games. SB has become the NFL version of Westlemania.

About the same here.....well, half way.

I don't watch the SB, it often interferes with my bedtime (graveyard worker), so it never has had a relevance in my life.

HOWEVER, after watching the Bowl Games New Year's Day, I could get into watching a well played game.

So, to answer your question, on the football game alone, it's possible to have an entertainment value to me but for the half time show and the commercials (which up to two years ago, I didn't know the significance of those commercials)...............no, not much...........................

.....................................so far.

Except for the kid drowning in a bath tub, and having a tv fall on him, or the phone call of the woman getting beat.

I always love the people who have to go out of their way to tell us how much they didn't care about the game and how they didn't watch it. Good for you? That's not what this thread is about.

Great game, some memorable plays and had a finish fans will be talking about for decades to come. I usually don't watch the halftime show, but I was somewhere where I couldn't change the channel. I thought it was a good show, although Katy Perry singing "I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It" probably ruffled some conservative feathers, lol.

The commercials were good, nothing really stood out as far as anything super hilarious. I will agree with the above poster that there were quite a few depressing commercials, especially the domestic violence one with the "pizza order" to 911.

That was definitely the wrong slot for that commercial.

Commercials were good, as usual Budweiser was at the top in my opinion.
Half time was forgettable unless one is a tween or into rap... The game, well, let me say up front since Green Bay wasn't there I didn't care who won. That being said the ending was a nail biter and I'm sure there were many in Vegas tossing things when the whistle blew.
