It’s our first year watching the Super Bowl on our new Samsung flat screen LCD and Bose home theatre system. For the most part the picture and sound has been nearly immaculate, with the occasional bad pixelation.

And then there’s the half-time performance of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Tom Petty? At the Super Bowl half time performance? You’re kidding, right?

Well, then Fox’s audio department sure seemed to drop the ball this year — while the visuals were enough to keep me interested, the audio SUCKED. All you could hear was Tom’s voice, the guitars, and the snare drum. The low end was nowhere to be found and my subwoofer patiently waited for a little action, occasionally putting out a barely audible off-tempo thud.

FOX Network, you sure dropped the ball this year at the half time performance. You’ve had your fun, now I think it’s time to let the real networks do their job and cover the Super Bowl.
