quality of commercials

[archersangel]

the olympics are on, but in recent years i have ceased to car like i used to. anyone remember that it used to be on all day, everyday while it was going on? and for awhile you could subscribe to three channels (called red, white & blue) to see live coverage of most everything?

anyway, my brother pointed out some years ago that. in general, the commercials for the olympics are of better quality than the ones for the superbowl. (which is the event for commercials) and i agree, the coke commercials are usually the best in the olympics.

I considered randomly clicking one of the options, but the truth is I barely ever even watch tv at all, and I haven't seen either the superbowl or the olympics for years. The last olympics I remember really watching was waaaay back when I was in high school in the 80s, when Torvill & Dean won the gold with their jaw-dropping performance - and I can't recall a single commercial from back then, so they apparently didn't have that much staying power.

My mom likes commercials and sends me links to ones she finds especially good - and one was from the superbowl, so I guess that's something, anyway...
