Tuesday November 22, 2005 Okay, so I'm a big fan of the TV show "Medium". I watch it every Monday night at 10pm, or soon after via TiVo. Last night was a big deal because the show contained a bunch of 3-D stuff, and you had to have a set of 3-D glasses (one eye red, one eye blue) to see the effects. The latest TV Guide magazine contained a set of 3-D glasses for the big event, so everyone apparently rushed out and bought up all the TV Guide magazines. All of them. I went out last night around 9:30pm to get my lady and myself a pair so we could settle back and watch the keen effects that we looked forward to all weekend.
No such luck! All gone. Everywhere! Each store I went to immediately responded when I said "Hey, do you guys have any TV Gui..."
"We're all sold out of TV Guides, sorry! No more 3-D glasses! You're the 10th guy to stop by asking."
It was bizarre. I figured I was one of the very few that actually watched the show, but last night was a very powerful reminder of the scale of network television and advertising. Apparently the whole neighborhood was out looking for glasses, and those that were'nt already got theirs days earlier. I actually tried SIX different places with no luck.
Sigh. I guess I have to order some 3-D glasses from a catalog and keep them in a drawer in waiting for the next blockbuster TV moment. Luckily I have TiVo, so I'll get to watch the show afterall - but not until I find a pair of those darn popcorn goggles.
