Simply The Worst (Tell His Story)


 I never watch 'normal' TV; just Trinity Broadcasting, DVDs, or, blessedly, nothing.

But every couple of years, for the Olympics, I give it a shot, and end up feeling soiled.

This year was the worst. NBC made the event feel like it was staged as a promo for their really lame programming, most of the adverts (except for one from Daniels Heating and Air Conditioning in Albuquerque) made one cringe by trying to tie into Olympic glory, and the political spots were vapid and vicious.

That was the takeaway. I don't recall a single sporting moment, and I was once a track and field athlete, and played high level rugger.

Glad it's over. Until next time.

Sylvia thinks eating ice cream should be an Olympic event. That would have saved it.

  2. We stopped watching the regular coverage of the Olympics, but we enjoy the online play of actual events on the app, then we can experience the joy of the events (swimming, gymnastics, running, etc.) without the whoopla. :)

  3. My daughter recorded the USA Gymnastics for me. I didn't watch the rest. I told my husband we're back to the days before TV. Listen to audiobooks instead of radio. But so little I find worth watching theses days. :-(
