Watching TV
13 August 2008 22:49I'm not disappearing - just watching lots and lots of the Olympics. I love the Olympics. I'm not a sports fan, but I really get into the Olympics. Of course right now I really want to kill NBC. I'm so extremely tired of continual talk of US Athlete, show us US Athlete, then if they don't win, show us who wins.... .. and that's =IT= OMG, Show me the entire field. Really! *grumble*
At least with swimming, you get all 8 in the race. For the ladies gymnastics - they showed the Americans and the Chinese. No One Else. I was bummed. There were EIGHT teams competing! The Romanians won Bronze. I would have liked to see some of it :(
I like the winter Olympics more. They are forced to show more countries there, but then we get continual 'spotlights' on the US Athletes and their life and etc, etc, etc. I don't want to know that, really, give the athlete SOME privacy! Show the sport!!!!
My favorites to watch: Gymnastics, Swimming, Diving, Equestrian -which they DO NOT SHOW :( :(. I watch Beach Volleyball and Track and Field, but not as intensely.
So, for those of you not in the US - do you have the same problem with your broadcast? Do they show the entire sport, or flip around and give you one tiny bit here and there?
