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.

I think its kind of neat. I'm curious to see if its going to be like captain eo awesome or the suckiest thing that ever sucked.

I'm actually looking forward to it. I've never witnessed a 3-D via the television before, so this'll be a whole new experience. Granted, I am taping this episode so I can watch it once with the glasses one and once without.

But 3-Dness aside, doesn't the preview for next week look completely awesome?

The part of the promo where the guy is throwing a knife towards the screen is pretty freaky. I'm assuming that part will be in 3D.

If this episode doesn't live up to people's expectations, boy, a lot of them are gonna be pissed off. They better not screw this up.

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.

I'd feel like SUPER DORK too.

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.

I'm an 18-year-old college student with a roommate who doesn't like "Medium" and I plan to wear my paper glasses proudly. They can't be any worse than the goggles I have to wear when I work at the cafeteria to load the industrial dishwasher.

Just as soon as I can get on the bus to go to the store to buy them.

Thanks! Although, I still haven't figured out how to get them to fit over my regular glasses.
