NBC's coverage of the opening ceremony starts on Friday at 7:30 I think.

I'm glad I didn't miss it. One must get in their fix of crepe paper streamers, confetti, dancing children and fireworks every two years or so.

Yeah, I was confused by having some competitions early. Whew. Since that's likely the ONLY part of the Olympics i'll see this time, i kinda don't want to miss it.


Well, as far as TV goes anyway. I think YouTube is a brilliant idea.

Because worse than all the backstories is ... as Moonie points out .... most of the sports being part of a mish/mash that you have to slog thru to find the stuff that interests you. Blcch.

It's all about ratings. If they tell you when what you want to watch will be on then they don't have the crossover viewers.

Oh, I know why it's done. I still hate it.



Now someone tell me why the hosts unfailingly describe in detail what you are about to see in the Opening Ceremonies? Is it for all the blind people watching on TV? Why can't they just describe it as it happens ... or, hell, the blind won't know ... 10 seconds after?

Why is it always 10 seconds before, they tell you exactly what's about to happen??? I don't see the ratings advantage.

Simple arrogance. They want to demonstrate to you that they have superior inside knowledge, just to make sure you know they're better than you.

...Or something.
