This is a TV movie made in the golden age of TV movies, not an overhyped commercial sporting event. Hence, you shouldn't watch this if you're expecting a loud, obnoxious waste of time and money such as the Super Bowl. Like most TV movies from its time, this is a collection of A, B, and C actors, as well as some pro athletes, telling the background story of these brainless sports extravaganzas and all the human drama-and crime-that supposedly goes along with them. If you watched this expecting an hour and a half of overpaid jocks grunting, you don't understand TV movies and shouldn't be handing out 1-star ratings like they were watery beers.

Like many, I was lucky enough to see this because of MST3K. Gladly, it was from their very early years, so they didn't hav much to say and showed the film without so many cuts like would become standard later on.

And no, not everyone watches the Super Bowl every year. Less than one third of the US population wastes their time on it. The majority of us have lives and good taste.

This TV movie goes to show that bad films do exist. The only reason I saw this was it was covered on a KTMA MST3K. It's Super Bowl at the Superdome in New Orleans. However, no football is played whatsoever and we see the behind the scenes look at basically nothing. With the many stars in this film, it made no difference. I really don't know why I watched this.

I've seen a lot of really bad movies. Superdome isn't good buy anymeans, but it's not a 2.5. I;m giving it a 5 to boost it. It's actually about a 4. It's starts out slow and you really don't know what's going on, but it comes around. David Janssen and Donna Mills make it interesting in the second half. Try watching Little Rita or Buffalo Bill, Hero Of The West and then tell me this a 2.5.
