I watched them almost every single night from 8-12, unless there was something really boring on.

I *really* miss the Olympics now that we have the political conventions.

Watched the whole of the Opnening and Closing cedremonies...and a whole lot of the rest. CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) broadcast live the whole time.....not just snippets.

I didn't plan on watching nearly as much of the olympics as I did. They were just so amazing. I would put it on for five minutes in between commercials and two hours later I would remember I completely forgot about my tv show. Or I would get off work late and I'd put it on while eating a snack before going to bed and I'd wake up the next morning on the couch with the tv still on.
I did make a point to see the all-around and all of Michael Phelps swim's but I just surprised myself by not turing the tv off after he was done...
I also found myself watching it during the day... especially beach volleyball. omg... amazing.
Who knew sports could be so exciting?

I'm having withdrawal symptoms. I miss the synchronized swimming and the judges screwing things up. I already miss the controversy of nations competing for pride instead of material things. I'm going to buy all the DVD's, especially the synchronized swimming.

Watched Michael Phelps dominate, Shawn and Nastia make it look so easy to land a triple flip, and Usain "Lightning" Bolt run faster than any man in history. I also watched some of the women's beach volleyball and some water polo.

basically I was glued to the TV. I had obscure sports coming out the yin-yang! table tennis? why not? cricket? count me in! I even invited friends over to watch the god medal fencing match. seriously, how pathetic can you get?

when i could i did watch they were great
by Aintthatapip - Kevonian Overlord on August 24th, 2008
I watched the swimming, the gymnastics, a couple track races, and every woman's beach volleyball game I could catch. :)
I would've watched the baseball and men's basketball if it was on at a reasonable time.
by Da Azian Boi on August 24th, 2008
I pretty much watched them every night, and I'm glad I did!
by MRSHINYSHOES on August 24th, 2008
I watched them occasionally, but only on those nights when my favorite sports were featured.
by sunniebgi on August 24th, 2008
I watched them most nights. But of course the networksa are more ineterested in the sponsorship, show what you are really watching are sponser commercials with little bits of Olympic information inbetween.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on August 25th, 2008
We watched as we could..especially the coverage of Michael Phelps. Gymnastics and tennis was our favorites..Jim is an avid Tennis player and who doesn't love the gymnastics competition? But things like track or water polo or soccer for example aren't our cup of tea, Olympics or no Olympics! :)
by Diamond on August 24th, 2008
I watched the opening and closing ceremonies. Didn't have time for anything in between :(
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on August 24th, 2008
I've only seen highlights and lowlights on ESPN's Sportscenter. I'm not a big fan.
by Anonymous on August 24th, 2008
I like the Olympics. Alot of people watched them.
by Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT on August 24th, 2008
Because of my shift, I could not watch them a lot. I caught a few "replays". The closing ceremony was the longest "performance" that I saw.
by deltabtry on August 24th, 2008
Two many proffessionals(X) in the Olympics, might as well watch Monday night football.
by Firebrand on June 11th, 2009
I watched every single Televised minute on every Channel and loved it all.
by JgrumpyC on September 26th, 2008
This was the most watched Olympics in history. You can thank Michael Phelps for that. USA!!! USA!!!
by artguy on September 20th, 2008
i haven't really been into sports since my twenties, i'm 42 now ;) i didn't even watch any clips on the news.
by Anonymous D on September 20th, 2008
I actually didn't watch a single event or any clips. Kind of strange since I grew up watching the ice skating and gymnastics, wishing it could be me. Just wasn't interested this year.
by Grammy Robin on September 20th, 2008
I watched as much of them as I could. Was not very productive at work during those two weeks.
by NOYB on June 11th, 2009
I'm a big fan of the Winter games! The Summer games don't do much for me.
by killdrphil - reasonable for a madman on August 25th, 2008
I even avoided the clips....

You're reading The Olympics are finally over!!!! Did anyone really watch them or just the hype and 3 second clips the media generated?
