I looked at the TV guide to day and it seems that for the olympics prime and SBS
will ditch all programming for the olympics???

is is really that interesting?

i don't remember this happening for atlanta and sydney, or is my memory failing me.

 

[babydoll_]

memory's failing you

maybe you weren't thinking about it during the syd olympics cos you were too hyped up

personally im pissed off cos i wanna find out who sarah killed on 'home and away'

 

[Cape]

I'm pissed off as well ... all day time tv is gone and i want to know who sarah killed as well. Man ... gotta wait so long seven should get their prioties right!!!

 

[jm1234567890]

lol, they even got rid of all the news except for the nightly news

 

[braindrainedAsh]

They soooo overhype it... on one of the ads it says something about "having the greatest time of your life"... if watching the Athens Olympics on television is the greatest moment in my life, I'd be pretty concerned about what type of life I was leading....

Now they are replaying the Sydney Opening Ceremony.... sheesh!

 

[babydoll_]

i gave up caring about the olympics 4 years ago

i mean, its great and all that, but just not my cup of tea. too overhyped if you ask me

argghhhh ... i so despise nicky webster

i think the reason it seems like its taking over the TV is because in 2000 it was just channel 7 whereas now its also SBS. or did SBS also show the games in 2000?

 

[pc_wizz]

i think sbs showed the minor events ... same as for these games

 

[Minai]

one of the few events im interested in is the Women's basketball, whether Lauren Jackson and the Opals can upstage the USA
also the Men's 100m track final (only cause I used to sprint in high school)

considering the 100m dash is only 10seconds i wouldn't mind watching that one

 

[porge]

ye the sprints are great, its when they do like 400m swimming that bugs me, you can leave the room make dinner come back and they are still swimming.. it tires me out



Edit: lundy, 400m is enough to bore me

 

[Lundy]

I think you mean the 1500m.

They've replayed the sydney opening ceremony so many freakin times. There's only so much nikki webster one can take.

I can't even take it the first time... it's like televisionised torture!!

Seriously man, everything's becoming overrated these days.

At least The Dream is coming back

edit: oh, and I see they've made a new qantas ad to play over and over and over and over

The only scene which stood out for me in that ad was when they show the kids singing on the sails of the Opera House. When I was saw that I was thought, wow must have been scary.

Watching the replay of the Greek opening ceremony right now and argh...so many countries.

 

[iambored]

yeah i have read twice a comment about the 400m being so long and boring, like wtf, it's the best race ever, world record is 3.40m, it's a quick one

and so this is where the olympic discussion is happening, i looked in the sports section

good on them for abandoning all programming, it makes you get into the spirit more i don't care actually, i don't watch ch7 so i am not missing something, just gaining sports races

i can't wait for the races to get started, only happen once every 4 years, the whole world gets to compete

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

if u ask me they do have their priorities straight, the Olympics is the greatest sporting event in history and its great to watch.
presonally i love watching it, so much passion and competitiveness.
id rather watch the marathon walk then the stupid shows channel 7 has to offer

 

[ezzy85]

they should make a new free to air channel devoted to the olympics for the next 2 weeks. but yes, channel7 has nothing to offer anyway.
