Jerry: Take 2
Redmond Report reader Michael P. (you know who you are) told me the
second
Seinfeld-Microsoft commercial is out, and pointed me to the four-plus-minute
version online. After the first outing -- which most of you agree
is
horrible -- I feared the worst.
In the second commercial, Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld move in with an average
American family so they can reconnect with normal people. I watched it and thought
it was OK. Then as I thought about it more and more, clever scenes came back
to me -- and I liked 'em. Fact is, I can actually imagine this as a sitcom.
And once again, Gates did a great job playing Gates.
So as much as I blasted the first commercial, I really like this new one --
very unusual, very different and very good. Tell me where I'm wrong at [email protected].
