Matt Roush says...
For many, it was no laughing matter when former Saturday Night Live jokester Dennis Miller was recruited in 2000 to join Al Michaels and the NFL’s Dan Fouts in the Monday Night Football broadcasting booth. The experiment, which lasted two seasons, was intended to refresh the show, which had lost some of its ratings luster, and broaden its appeal. Whether Miller was the right fit was the subject of heated debate, given his esoteric style and tortured metaphors: describing New England coach Bill Belichick as “wrapped tighter than an expectant father’s watch,” or a losing team “as dilapidated as Snoopy’s Christmas tree.” (Wasn’t it Charlie Brown’s tree anyway?) An “NFL Shorts” documentary examines the fun, the folly and the fallout, with commentary from Miller, Michaels, MNF producers and execs and Miller’s SNL colleague, Dana Carvey.
