Anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies???

Is anyone watching the Closing Ceremonies? So far, I've seen a quite eclectic selection.

I think so far, the highlight has been when Eric Idle, one of the Pythons, came out and sang "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life".

To watch yet another tribute to a health care system where everyone (except the "beautiful people",of course) wait for 6 months for a heart operation?

I'll take a rain check,thanks!

I think the Greek National Anthem should now be “Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?”

I so want them to have one segment where all at once one of those Brit police boxes appear, and out comes Dr. Who (perferably David Tennant)who looks at his watch and says something like, “Sorry wrong century.”, and then the box disappears in a puff of smoke.

I submit that Sir Winston Churchill himself would have boycotted this silliness.

No. Shhhh Shark week. Quite Watching

USA won it all. YEAH!

Ceremonies in general suck. But one from a PC one world organization would be insufferable

I had to read twitter to understand why we saw a fat Batman and Robin come out a little car.
I never understood many of those PBS British comedies but I liked watching in the late 70’s & early 80’s Monty Python & Benny Hill “weg*

I am. After tonight, taking a break from sports this week, even from my beloved Red Sox of Boston. They are done for the season. Doing like a vacation from sports this week.

Hope the closing ceromony is better then the opening which at times was “dripping” with politics.

Go Team USA and CONGRATS for job well done!

I never watch any summer Olympics opening, closing or just about any event that needs music or uses judges.

Only bright side is Nick Mason is going to be doing the drums and Wish you were here. Can’t wait for some Floyd.

Anyone know what time it is being tape-delayed? More curious than anything.

The coverage description on the Channel Guides are confusing.
