I don't know about anyone else, but I don't give a care for any 3-D show. I am not about to sit with paper glasses on my face for some bogus effect. Just give me the show and forget the disney/Sci Fi jizz.

Oh my God, it's 99 cents. You can find 99 cents on the ground, for crying out loud. It's not a huge monetary investment.

I'm not trying to diminish the plight of the poor in America, here, but the way people are talking in here makes it sound like NBC is asking us to spend $20 for some paper glasses.

TV Guides cost 99 cents. In this day and age, that's the closest to free you're going to get without it actually being free. However, if you still can't afford it, either ask someone you know to buy it for you (I'm sure someone somewhere will lend you 99 cents) or find someone who gets TV Guide anyway but doesn't watch Medium. Either way, I don't think it's too ridiculous to put the glasses in a magazine that 75% of TV viewers purchase anyway. I don't buy TV Guide anyway, but I also don't mind spending an extra dollar this week.

Well, that's your own prerogative. I'm not so much reacting against the people who are refusing on principle as I am the people who are whining that it's too much money.

I'm a 24-year-old environmental lab worker, and I personally think it's neat. It's a gimmick, yes, but I'd much rather this than horrible stunt casting.

Amen. I think the whole 3D gimmick is ridiculous.
