Unnecessary search
A little preface: during the Super Bowl, there were a couple of commercials that apparently were in 3-D. Some drink (SoBe I think?) was one of them & an advert for a movie was the other. Anyhow, you apparently could pick up the necessary glasses at SoBe displays at various local grocery stores. I didn't bother, but then I saw that Chuck was also going to be in 3-D.
So after yoga I went to a Ralph's and searched the aisles in vain for a SoBe display. I finally gave in & went up to the store front & asked the manager about the 3-D glasses. He pointed me to the counter less than a foot away from me, where there were piles of the glasses. Well, really piles of paper with eyeholes covered with film that could be cut along the dotted lines to make 4 pairs of glasses per page. I took some home & got ready to watch Chuck.
I quickly gave up on the glasses - It's possible they would have worked for some people, but they just made the TV either very dark blue or jaundiced, depending on which eye I was using. The episode was fine without the glasses (although there were definitely periods where you could tell that a 3-D effect was supposed to be happening.) I hope that they provide a 2-D option when they come out with the DVDs for the season. Either that, or they provide better glasses with the DVDs ;-).
