I'm presuming it'll be shown in other areas as well, but check your local listings for day and time, and I'm figuring it'll be shown on whatever channel is showing the Superbowl itself in your area. I'm hoping they show the Apple (I think it was Apple) "1984" commercial - haven't seen that in ages - but I hope they don't show any of the commercials that made me cry. /cs

I can't remember any standouts from last year, but I'll probably try to check out the special.

Viewers will have a chance to vote for their favorite to see if it could dethrone Coca-Cola's 1980 Mean Joe Greene ad as the most popular Super Bowl commercial ever. >> On the CBS website for the special <a href="http://www.cbs.com/specials/superbowls_greatest_commercials/" target="_blank">http://www.cbs.com/specials/su perbowls_greatest_commercials/</a> (which has some of the ads) it says that "Voting begins at 9:30pm et. Voting results will be announced at the end of the special."
