^ It was a great lead-in to the preview of the new NBC sit-com Animal Practice, shown at 11:00. Highest rating ever for a sitcom sneak preview.

As art, I still like the Incredible Stone Man from Vancouver the best.

If you consider NBC's overall situation 21.8 million viewers in a country of what....300 million is a good rating.

Maybe you can help me with the stats but anyway you cut it a whole lot of Americans did not care to watch the closing ceremonies.
Those who did had a choice....watch the preview, take a break and come back later or do what I did and call it a night.

After watching 2-3 times more of the summer games than I ever could in the past, with by far the best chances and choices to see what I liked I don't have too many complaints about NBC.

It seems a simple concept that without the ratings the games won't have this type of coverage in the future.
Without a certain amount of fluffs and entertainment value the ratings would drop like a rock.

So pick your poison. And how far would the IOC go without NBC's billion dollars?

Think ISU and losing ESPN's money.....

Anyway, not sure if broadcasting the Olympics is as easy as some might think.

I do like the "stone man" although I thought it was a totem pole...
