You won't be sorry .. it's unique and memorable, if a little quirky at times.

Yep. You and millions of others. Bob Costas is a smarmy dope, Brian Williams is even worse.

I hate to say this.

but I strongly believe that CBS would do much better with the olympics.

Is the music NBC is playing actually being heard in the stadium? Seems to be pretty much just American dance tunes; mostly songs aprropriate for dancing the "Hustle".

And Japan and many other places. For a country everyone loves to hate they sure love our music and movies.

The time zone problem has always been why I don't follow these threads too much. For example, I'm a "24" addict, but I can't follow the live thread without spoiling my watching it on TV three hours later.

So it looks like the live thread for this west coast broadcast is . . . three of us?

I have a problem with the 24 thread, too, because of the time change.

I missed the USA deligation, tell me they didn't boo our team????

Dance tunes and chart toppers. The live blogger at CBC-TV in Canada couldn't figure out the significance of the Canadian contingent's arrival as a Doobie Brothers tune played. I guess they were hoping for a Canadian tune.

They were cheered. Not quite at the level of the host team Italy, but it was maybe a notch below.

LOL!! 2 1/2. I am on my last leg! I've just recently begun watching '24' and don't follow the thread at all; I'm confused enough as it is!
