Yes, but not for months on ends. After the first couple of days, post-landing, I sat back and just caught the odds and ends here and there, such as a bunch of dust/dirt covering the solar panels - they thought it was doomed, then a Martian windstorm blew in to save the day.

Stuff like that.

I never did catch the part where they say Mars had, er, "spherules."
