This was discussed somewhat in the Panthers forum, but I wanted to bring it down here and expand it a bit.

The ad in question...

The shows used, their settings and the connections they made:

The Brady Bunch, Southern California - Chargers

Happy Days , Milwaukee - Packers

90210, Beverly Hills - Raiders, Vikings (Brenda was from Minnesota)

Seinfeld, New York - Bills, Giants, Cowboys (Newman)

The Office, Scranton, PA - Steelers

The Sopranos, New Jersey - Jets

Cheers, Boston - Patriots

The Golden Girls, Miami - Dolphins

Full House, San Francisco - 49ers

The Dukes of Hazzard, Georgia - Falcons

Family Guy, Rhode Island - Patriots, Browns (Cleveland)

Sesame Street, fictional midwest - Rams

Family Matters, Chicago - Bears

Alf, Southern California - Panthers

How I Met Your Mother, New York - Steelers, Vikings, Jets

Friends, Manhattan - Jets

Glee, Lima, OH - Bengals, Browns, Colts

Modern Family, Los Angeles - Redskins

The Simpsons, Springfield - Lions, Steelers, Packers, Vikings, Bengals, Raiders, Titans, Buccaneers, Texans, Chiefs, Dolphins, Jaguars, Eagles, Saints, Seahawks, Cardinals, Ravens

South Park, Colorado - Broncos

And of course, there was the theme from "Dallas" playing in the background the whole time.

So besides the obvious misses (like Alf and the Panthers) and the fact that they used the Simpsons characters to essentially make sure they didn't miss anyone, where did they screw up?

What shows would you have associated with the Panthers and others?

Modern Family being the Skins was kind of odd - the West Wing could've worked there.

Home Improvement for the Lions was mentioned in the other one. Roseanne would've been a good one for the Bears too.

And with the older show clips, it would've been cool had they been era appropriate. Fonz with a Starr jersey (instead of Rodgers), Mike Brady with Hadl and Alworth stuff on the wall (not Rivers/Gates), Norm walking into Cheers with a red Grogan jersey (instead of Welker)

WKRP for the Bengals would have been better than Glee. Likewise, Drew carey for Cleveland, but it's on Fox, so...

I'd have preferred Bob Newhart to Family Matters for Chicago, but Family matters is still good.

Frasier for the Seahawks would have been good. X-Files might actually make even more sense than the West Wing for the Skins.

      D and D is the answer.

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Was just explaining this to some dummy named Willy in another thread. I think he was just smoking’ too much cheese.  This has been going on for ages. Trent dilfer got all the ladies and threw just as many TDs as interceptions. This was the more violent era of football. The soft mfrs wanna see the passing TDs but the truth is that ain’t what ultimately wins football games. It’s a STRONG D, and an unstoppable run game, with some passes to keep the defense honest, if a for a TD great. in fact I would venture to say that the two panthers super bowls consisted of the same except cam threw more tds than interceptions and could run like Jamal Lewis and priest Holmes. its a tale as old as time. Something all ball knowers understand.

      Playoffs?!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Ngl, as good as I felt about us after winning yesterday, when they showed the top NFC teams on SNF, I realized what a crazy year this is.  The NFC seems uncommonly top heavy.  As of today, we aren’t anywhere near playoff positioning, which at 5-4 seems very, very weird compared to most years.  I know things will shake out further as the season goes on and it likely won’t look the same, but I have the feeling it’s one of those years that you’ll need like 11 wins to get in as a wildcard. seems very like a very pantherish thing to rebound this year and that’s what it would take.
