Overcoming some early technical issues,

SNL this week.

These Super Bowl ads really make you think. pic.twitter.com/GRNuWWjPR1 Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl) February 7, 2021
An
NFL Today broadcast opened up the Super Bowl LV broadcast, which began with a series of directorial and staging miscues, momentarily distracting us from how inside-joke-y this might be for non-NFL viewers. The first big laughs were drawn from a progressive ad for Cheez-Its and a conservative one for Papa John s Pizza. After a few more ads, the multi-dude panel interviewed the Chiefs and Buccaneers coaches, both played by Aidy Bryant, which was a bit amusing but this generally seemed hastily thrown together and barely got up the field.
Premise: Dog trainer Jas Leverette tries to retrain dogs facing the threat of being put down given aggressive behavior. This is basically the same plot as Cesar Milan’s “The Dog Whisperer.”
Leverette uses some unfortunate techniques on the dogs, such as punishment collars for bad behavior. This will make the show a hard pass for some. But beyond that aspect, the “Canine Intervention” ultimately centers on hope and the rewarding transformation of these loved pets. Surprisingly few dog-centric shows are available in the streaming world, and “Canine Intervention” at least makes for a compelling watch.
Netflix descriptors: “Inspiring,” “emotional” and “feel-good”
