There's A Philosophy Behind Releasing Super Bowl Ads Early

DENVER (CBS4) - The commercials inside the Super Bowl often have more fans than the teams on the field. It's the one show every year that keeps viewers glued to their sets, even during the commercial breaks.

CBS4 Critic at Large Greg Moody took a look at this year's crop and the philosophy behind letting people see them early.

"This year's gaggle of Super Bowl ads run the gamut from funny to fascinating -- sex pots to saucy seniors -- creative to, 'What were you thinking?' " Moody said. "You'll see longer commercials -- more featuring real, live folks -- and plenty of funny."
