3-D EPISODE OF TV SHOW PRIMARILY INVOLVES TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES

How great are DVR's? Through the miracle of the DVR, I was able last night to watch a 3-D episode of NBC's show "Medium." Amy and I put our special glasses on and prepared to be amazed. Only portions were in 3-D, so the show had a special "3-D" icon that would appear when you needed to be sure to have the glasses on.

Interestingly, the icon first appeared as the camera panned along a flat wall and focused on a series of paintings, which are of course also flat. Pretty much throughout the episode, whenever a painting appeared so did the icon.

As an aside, there was a funny incident when a co-worker was in my office and put the 3-D glasses on and then moved his hands back and forth away from him. Um, that's already in 3-D, Andy. :)
