Give me back that Filet-O-Fish, give me that fish

It is now Lent, which means that McDonald's is once again heavily advertising the Filet-O-Fish. Unfortunately, the wildly popular singing fish ad they used for the past two years is gone, replaced by a less amusing ad featuring bobblehead pirates (They missed an opportunity by not using Captain Crook as one of the pirates.) I was actually looking forward to seeing the fish again.

Does anyone else miss the fish?

Gotta confess *ahem* that I don't even recall it.

gotta be honest and say I miss that fish and his somewhat creepy (at least to me) yet humorous song.

What concerned me about the new commercials is the line "now back for a limited time." I eat (thankfully) alot less McDonalds now, but I don't ever remember the Filet-o-fish sandwich being off the menu for it to now be back for a limited time. I'd be disappointed if I got that craving for a cheap fish sandwich and it wasn't there. It's bad enough I have to wait for them to bring the "I-can't-understand-why-I-like-it" McRib back into rotation each year.

Don't miss the song or the annoying fish. Vyv, in some ares they have a special price during Lent and since you live near Chicago, I'm assuming that's one of the places.

Yeah, I think I mis-heard the commercial. Since the only times I ever see commercials are *really* early in the morning or *really* late at night I'll blame it on being sleepy.

I kind of like the new bobble-head pirates commercial. But they definitely need to make a second commercial where a bobble-head ninja comes in to fight the bobble-head pirate for the filet-o-fish.

And then a bobble-head dinosaur that steals the FoF while the others are fighting!

I believe it's the pricing that's back for a limited time, not the sandwich. I could be wrong.

Thanks for posting the commercial. Now I know why I didn't recall it- up until that post, I'd never seen it before.
