The Olympic Coverage

Does anyone else think the coverage stinks? I love my Olympics to the point we stay up super duper late and it's on non stop. I have brought JD into the love with me (although not so much this time but I did with the Summer games). I take my viewing very seriously so...

Here are my complaints:

A. Way too many commercials!

B. Way too much of sitting around a fire or desk talking and re-capping.

C. We are only 3hrs behind Vancouver right? So why are we not getting more live coverage? Brian Williams should not be telling me to look away from the TV so they can put up who won to the race we haven't gotten to see yet. I mean people will live without their Ellen and Soaps. This. is. the. Olympics. They will also live with out their local news and nightly news (we do have other channels for this)

D. What is up with the Medal coverage? I don't want to see Apollo already standing with a medal around his neck and the flags starting to go up. I want to see him get the medal put around his neck.

E. We have all heard the athletes stories yes, they are touching but we don't need to hear them every 15 mins.

F.Why are the commentators advertising that new movie for us and we gotta watch clips on how it might have been.

G. Did I mention the commercials????

H. Did I mention not enough LIVE footage...


I did send my complaints to NBC. Don't mess with my Olympics. : )

By the time I sit down to watch some, I get tried of waiting for the event for the commercials. Then I just go to bed. NBC has messed this up for sure.
