Note to Medium In 3-D
Nov 23, 2005 | 11:00AM

I am angry. Give me back my $3.00!

I enjoy the television series Medium.  The actors -- particularly the kids -- are excellent and fun to watch. The storylines are good.  The show is often scary, and the concept is entertaining.

For weeks, they ahd been hyping this past Monday's 3-D episode.

Lauren and I went out and bought TV Guides with free 3-D glasses enclosed,  to experience the three-dimensional wonderment.  Ad after ad and article after article hyped the forthcoming multimedia extravaganza.

And... it stank. On ice.  It was crap.

I mean, there was maybe a total of five minutes of 3-D footage in the entire episode.  A flashing icon would pull you out of the story to indicate when you should put on your 3-D glasses.  And the 3-D effects were very, very poor.  Whether it was cheap glasses or cheap cameras that should receive the blame, the net result was that Medium in 3-D just offered one extra dimension of crap for this week's episode.  And I, for one, prefer my crap in as few dimensions as possible.
