As I kid I did glimpse briefly a full solar eclipse. Just a quick peek for 2-3 seconds (not recommended and can be dangerous). However we mostly watched it reflected in a bucket of water which seemed to work. Not watching it directly with glasses is not much different than watching it on TV to me. So I will just watch it on the news or whoever is broadcasting it. I am sure there will be plenty of internet sites showing the eclipse. If you are not seeing an event directly, you are watching an image of it and to me it is the same experience as watching it on the internet or TV except they will have better images. I do not think it will be much here in TV. A partial at best.
