I want to watch the halftime show - what time does it usually start in the US? I’m in the UK and the game started at 23:00 here, so I can work it out based on that.

Hmm…try about 12:30 AM. Of course, you could just watch the entire game instead.

That might be too late, if the second quarter goes faster than the first did. I’d start checking in about a half hour.

Could someone please translate to ET or PT for those of us too lazy to do all the math?

I would never have believed 20 years ago that sweet little Janet Jackson would be in trouble for flashing a tit at the Super Bowl, and that raunchy old Prince of assless chaps fame would be considered a safe act!
