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.

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
