It's still a family-type show: football and viagra ads for the adults, and beer and MTV singers for the kids. But really, you have to shut off the scatological ads as well to be safe. And turn of Friends. And any other prime time show.
I was bitching about the show based solely on the "talent" involved. At least they've dressed up the crap teens in past years with, e.g., Aerosmith (with Brittney spears a couple years ago), which still has a modicum of talent. U2 was pleasant. Last year was fine--No Doubt and Shania Twain (and someone).
But when you're up against the lingerie bowl, what would you do to keep viewers? Tony Bennet?
