Here's an interesting article from Tivo. http://www.tivo.com/5.3.1.1.asp?article=200 February 2, 2004 - SAN JOSE, CA – Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson stole the show during Sunday's Super Bowl, attracting almost twice as many viewers as the most thrilling moments on the field, according to an annual measurement of second-by-second viewership in TiVo households. The Jackson-Timberlake moment drew the biggest spike in audience reaction TiVo has ever measured. TiVo said viewership spiked up to 180 percent as hundreds of thousands of households used TiVo’s unique capabilities to pause and replay live television to view the incident again and again. Overall, the halftime extravaganza had a powerful grip on viewers. According to TiVo’s analysis of aggregated data from an anonymous sample of 20,000 households, viewership of the game’s intermission increased by 12 percent compared to last year’s halftime show. Commercials once again drew a bigger reaction from viewers than any of the action on the field. And humor seemed to be the best weapon for attracting the largest audience. Budweiser’s humorous spots were an especially big hit. Commercials for Bud Light filled three of the top five slots of commercials, as measured by TiVo. "The ‘wardrobe incident’ during half time was the scene stealer of the Super Bowl," said Marty Yudkovitz, President of TiVo. "In fact, the half time show during the Super Bowl is now running a close second to the commercials as the most compelling content for viewers. The actual contest on the field continues to be the secondary event during the Super Bowl." TiVo Top Ten Super Bowl Commercials 1. "Sleigh Ride" -- Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light) 2. "Dog Bites" -- Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light) 3. "Shards of Glass" – Truth 4. "Slam Dunk Contest" – Seven Up 5. "Talking Monkey" – Anheuser-Busch (Bud Light) 6. "Homer Simpson" -- Mastercard 7. "Must Be Tough" Designated Driver Campaign – Anheuser-Busch 8. "Time Travel" – Time Warner (AOL) 9. "Washed Out with Soap" – General Motors (Chevy Trucks) 10. "We ID" – Anheuser-Busch Overall, 40 percent of TiVo households tuned in to watch the game. Unlike last year’s less competitive contest, the TiVo ratings saw almost no drop off in the second half and viewing numbers remained high to the game’s exciting conclusion. The most watched play of this year’s Super Bowl was Jake Delhomme’s fourth quarter 85 yard touchdown pass to Muhsin Muhammad. TiVo’s audience measurement analysis is based on aggregated data from a sample of 20,000 anonymous TiVo households. TiVo viewership information gauges the interest in programming content by measuring the percentage of the TiVo Super Bowl audience watching in "play" speed.

Congratulations to Patriots fan and condolences to Panthers fans. And this concludes the non-grouchy portion of my post . That was a pretty depressing article, Azlen. America has been reduced to getting its kicks by TiVo-ing commercials and a if-it-weren’t-so-inappropriate-it’d-be-laughable flashing? Another year, another tacky Super Bowl. And I mean the whole freaking extravaganza, not just Jackson & Timberlake’s attempt at shock & tease. Thank goodness I missed the Aerosmith tribute to Columbia’s crew because judging from Tishala’s description of it I may have had a fit. Even regular season NFL games have been tarted up so much that it’s difficult for me to take the league seriously anymore. Vacuous sideline reporters, meaningless graphics cluttering the screen, gleeful highlights of trash talking, etc. It’s all so slick and packaged. Everyone - from game announcers to players - is intent on projecting “attitude”. Sorry, but if you gotta work that hard to seem cool, well, you’re not cool at all, imho. The Super Bowl merely amps everything up to an even gaudier and more ridiculous level. We didn’t watch any pre-game stuff and only a little of the first two quarters. The halftime show blew, but hey, what else should we expect? They almost always do. The only decent performance I can remember was U2 in 2002 - one band, a few great songs, and no badly synchronized dance routines performed by a mob that outnumbers the entire population of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Commercials? Thanks but I see more than enough tv ads the rest of the year. (Guess I really was grouchy!)

It's my belief that the whole thing was planned between JJ and JT, They tried to make it appear that it was'nt planned but people are'nt going to buy that, It was just disgusting, I would'nt have expected JJ to reduce herself to the likes of Britney Spears and Cristina Aguleira, in my opinion she is getting a little to old to be trying to shock people.

You know, different people will have different perspectives of different things. The group of people with whom I watched the Super Bowl? Almost every single one shut up, stopped eating, and got a bit misty watching the tribute to the fallen shuttle astronauts. And 90% of the folks with whom I watched the game were men. Personally? I think that Janet and Justin succeeded in doing what they (most likely) intended... what are you talking about most today? The last 4 seconds of the game? The game winning kick (after he missed two previous kicks and four total in that stadium)? Nope. The "snatch 'n gasp" is what everyone is talking about.

The boob incident was clearly intentional. Frankly, the idea of a nipple ring covered by a huge brass sunburst is gross. Nipple rings are basically gross, and I think she is a lot less appealing for wearing nip rings with huge metal appendages. It's really not classy at all, and sexy only for fetishists. The NY Times called Janet Jackson a middle aged woman today, with a middle aged breast. I'm not sure if that is fair, but I think it's fair to say that I am sick of sexual attention getting by members of the Jackson family. How much attention do these people need, anyway? They are worth millions already!

Was there any mention of the pepsi ad with Britney, Pink, and Beyonce? They made such a big deal about this commercial but it wasn't shown from what I understand. I wonder why...

Well, yesterday I said that I'd like to think this wasn't intentional and today I would still like to think that but I can't. Note to self: Quit giving people the benefit of doubt!

Fabnsab, that commercial is only being played in some European countries. It is not being aired in the U.S. I saw this info on ET (or some show like that) and have no idea why it is not being aired in the U.S. Apparently a lot of commercials featuring celebrity endorsements are more apt to air in Europe than this side of the Atlantic. Anyone know why this is?

I thought the Dredge report exposed the fact it was known that it would happen. Photographers were positioned to get the best angle, etc. I just dont think Justin and Janet should take the fall for what was obvious a (albeit) poor attempt for ratings... Apparently now CBS says Janet and Justin are univited to the Grammy's, give me a break!}

this is from Janet yesterday "The decision to have a costume reveal at the end of my halftime show performance was made after final rehearsals," Jackson said in a statement released Monday (February 2). "MTV was completely unaware of it. It was not my intention that it go as far as it did. I apologize to anyone offended — including the audience, MTV, CBS and the NFL."

Whatever, Janet...both artists were fully aware of what was going on, and they are equally responsible, as well as the network execs. Let the heads roll, and let us all stand up and shout "NO MORE!" Believe it or not, I'm not a prude. I'm just tired of it.

What I find disturbing is the fact that the NEWS spent time on discussing the incindent before informing us all of the residue left at the Senate offices. ??????? Right, because an exposed breast is much more news worthy then oh say....terrorism! ugh....

Silly- guess that is what i get for having the local DC station - it was all about the senate building last night, and then the two boys shot in the high school (one dead) - Jackson was even after the second commerical break

I'm shocked that is even the most talked about thing that happened at the Super Bowl. People's reaction to everything else seems a bit muted. a commercial hinting at bestiality - Ho Hum a commercial that mentions four hour erections - Yawn a commercial for an R rated movie that contained images that would give a kid nightmares - Who Cares? Crotch grapping, dry humping dance moves - Whatever Using the American flag as a poncho - No big deal A half-second display of a female breast that looked like it was covered with a pasty - Oh My Gosh, its the end of civilization as we know it!! Call the Feds!!
