I got so disgusted with the coverage from 90s til this year. I don’t mind hearing about an athlete’s struggle but it seemed they really over did it for many years...all the sob stories of the athletes from certain countries, etc.

I think NBC did a decent job this time.

LMAO!

I love the extra butter kind. I found new Orville Redenbocker flavors at the store a couple of weeks ago. One was sea salt and cracked pepper. Sooo good!

I totally agree. I normally watch more of the winter games then summer (I’m a big hockey fan) and Salt Lake and Torrino coverage was horrible. Like you said, too much focus on personalities and not the sports.

That does sound good. I might have to have some fancy popcorn to get me through Hillary's night at the DNC :-D

I went to Target last night (yeah, big Saturday night at Target, when with the glamor end??) and stocked up on Easy Mac. I have very sophisticated tastes.

Well at least with the next Winter games in Vancouver, we should see a lot more live coverage. I preferred CBS’ Winter coverage than NBC’s.

And I think this time NBC was better, but they still can’t hold a candle to the job ABC used to do with the Olympics.

Should’ve showed it both in the morning (when it happened) AND in prime time.

Can't get decent ad rates at 7:00 AM in the morning.

LOL!

Did you know they have Kraft Mac & Cheese snack crackers now? I saw them at the store this afternoon. They looked LOADED.

Honestly, it’s better that I avoid mac and cheese flavored crackers. I’d probably eat my weight in them by the end of the week.

Are we getting underway?

Maybe? It’s a countdown. Hopefully not a countdown to another commercial.
