The Olympics are done... how much did you watch?

Poll coming....

I'd have to say I watched less than an hour. I saw about 10 minutes of skiing, 10 minutes of skating, and about 30 minutes total of the opening/closing ceremonies.

 

[JennyMominRI]

I;d say 20-40 hours,which is less than usual

Probably around 3 hours, but maybe a little less. When I was younger, I always liked the Winter Olympics better because I always thought it would be so cool to bobsled or luge. This year, there was really nothing that I wanted to watch. I watched a little hockey, some figure skating, and more skiing than anything else. Still, I was bored by it all this year.

I watched all of the prime time coverage...what can I say, I'm just an Olympics nut. I'm dying for Vancouver and London (gonna try to get tix for those).

 

[Papa Deuce]

I would say I watched less than 5 minutes.

We did watch several hours daily, but as it was in the same timezone that was easy.
And we had a lot of medals to celebrate as we won the medal count second time in a row

 

[Missy1961]

I watched a bit of the hockey, and that's it. I've never been much of an Olympic watcher, and I've never been a big fan of the Winter Olympics.

Ditto. I found the ice skating (normally my favorite) to be very uninspired. Whether that's because of the new scoring method or the people performing, I still don't know. Yeah, there were a few good moments, such as the girl from Turkey who made it all the way to the finals, but for the most part, it was a yawner.

Most of the stuff I watched was TIVO'd so I could fast forward through the boring stuff. Loved almost all the snowboard events, especially the 4 person race. I want to see more of that!! I also enjoyed the short track skating and even the curling.

All and all I thought the presentation by NBC was just OK. I hope they do a better job with the summer games of 2008 in China. That should be fascinating.

less than 15 minutes. I typically wouldn't watch any, but I did watch the medal ceremony for Apollo Ohno. (mom was watching it for the close up of ohno. )

 

[dizneenut]

About 20-40 hours.

 

[LeCras]

I watched as much of it as I possibly could - I love all the events in the winter olympics!

The BBC coverage of it was useless of course, so a big thanks goes to Eurosport for showing everything live, including the beautiful closing ceremony last night!

[Pooh67_68]

Didn't watch at all.

 

[Nite0wl71]

I watched between 20-40 hours. I didn't watch every day but when I did it was for at least 3 hours at a time.

 

[CapeCodTenor]

I don't watch the Winger Olympics as much as the Summer Games, but I do watch a few events.

 

[ktglads]

I have to say that I "watched" almost all the coverage that was on tv (this inlcudes USA, MSNBC, NBC, the extra stuff like Olympic Ice and the Direct TV recaps) so that's about 10-12 hours a day of taped material, but I will admit to fastforwarding through any event that wasn't too exciting. But there were many events that I don't think I would have otherwise watched and liked if I hadn't just Tivo'd everything and chose from there

 

[Bob Slydell]

More than 40 hours -- it was a life saver while sitting in the hospital. I got hooked on curling, of all things.

 

[skiwee1]

We watched it every night from 8-11:30. I love the winter Olympics!

 

[DisneyJen0504]

None here. Couldn't get into it.

 

[slo]

I watched absolutly none of it
