3 Minutes of ‘Wolverine’ Coming to Fox

wolverine-group1

The Fox network is given us a slightly late Valentine’s Day gift starting this Sunday.   Three 60-second spots are being shown on Fox that, when strewn together, form one, complete narrative.

The first spot will air Sunday, Feb. 15 during “Family Guy” (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT); the second on Monday, Feb. 16 during “House” (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT); and the third will air Tuesday, Feb. 17 during “American Idol” (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on Fox.

Following Tuesday night’s clip, all three will be released to Yahoo!

This is a pretty cool way to promote the film, as well as a good way for Fox to get people to watch their shows.   Not that any of these three shows have any ratings problems, but I don’t watch “House” or “American Idol”, and, now, I’ll be sure to set these episodes up on my Tivo.

What do you think?   Is this a good way for Fox to promote the film?   Are we still into these “multiple-minute” clips that studios release to promote their films?   Will you be tuning in to any shows you regularly don’t watch just to see these clips?   Let us know by commenting below!
