((Comments about the Super Bowl halftime incident that exposed Janet Jackson's chest piled up faster in our viewer mail than the Patriots or Panthers could put up points.
Most thought it wasn't just Janet Jackson's costume that had malfunctioned.
"At a time when we could use a little more stability in our lives, we have a halftime show that is to say the least disgusting and in very poor taste...Shame on CBS for letting such smut be aired," noted two Roanoke viewers. (Billy and Brenda Belcher).
Another Roanoke viewer (Jeffery Warren Scott) said the late Captain Kangaroo must be spinning in his grave.
"TV used to be a mannerly, family-friendly guest in the family room. That guest has long since lost his discretion and moral compass. Now he wants to introduce your children to the language of the gutter, the images of the peep show and the morals of the depraved. We miss you Captain, and those of your generation who had a different view of what television could and should be."
A Pulaski mother (Michele Lawton)said the show brought several questions from her children.
"For example: "Is it against the law to be naked on TV?" "Did they plan to take her clothes off when they were dancing?" "Is that why Dad always watches the Super Bowl?" They do not remember the score, or that it was one of the greatest Super Bowl games in history...My wish is for the Super Bowl to be an event the whole family enjoys together. Our children need to be able to watch the best of all players compete in this sporting event and not have the focus of the event changed at halftime to an entirely different theme."
A Moneta viewer (Dan Trent) had a slightly different perspective.
"I don't see where anyone would be any more upset about this than a totally nude man running around on Survivor each week. It seems to be people are just trying to make a big deal over what she did because it was not expected."
Almost as many people were upset about our coverage of an official hearing on a complaint against Franklin County veterinarian Richard Flint.
"His complex is the most beautiful piece of architecture that I've seen. This man, and the people that work there, truly have the animals' best interest at heart. Dr. Flint is a good man and a good doctor. I will never understand why people always want to tear down what people work so hard to build," said one viewer (Amanda Scott/Franklin County).
Another (Jerry Loutian/Wirtz) noted: "People who know Dr. Flint know how deeply he cares for animals. Your attempt to smear his reputation will do nothing except lose WDBJ7 viewers."
But amid the roar of criticism came one still, small voice of praise for our web page (Kelley Yates/Martinsville)
"I always know I can depend on this web site for school closings and delays. It is so nice to be able to just open your site, take a quick look and know whether or not I have to wake everyone up."
