Default What did you think of the Olympics?

Not who won what, but the TV coverage.

I was not impressed with the coverage, seems like last Olympics you could choose between 4 or 5 different channels and find something you wanted to watch, this time it was one channel at a time and half of the primetime hours were filled with human interest stories.

Just wondering what yall thought of it.

Cool

I avoid NBC like the plague. That being said, it was the only game in town, so I was forced to watch one of their channels. While I understand that there's only so much they can show, I have to agree that I thought the coverage was spotty to say the least.

I can't watch anything with Johnny Weir in it without busting out laughing.

not only that, they showed very few medal ceremonies. and yes, I thought some of the human interest stories went a bit long.

I noticed this, too. Hardly saw any.

Don't forget that during the opening ceremonies NBC glossed over communism in the USSR as "one of modern history's pivotal experiments.
