Didn't affect viewing of other sports, but didn't catch as many TV show/Movies as I usually do.

Affected my viewing of all other programs. Way behind in Six Feet Under and The Amazing Race (the only new programs I'm currently watching). Everything was put on hold for the Olympics. I'm quite glad they're over now; it was getting pretty old.

Didn't really affect my other watching at all.

It proved that the NBA is pretty much a joke.

Since the only sports I basically watch is horse racing, it didn't affect it all.

How could people watch the Olympics when the Travers was run yesterday? ;)

The coverage on CBC was good, you could get most events live, and I found out that watching the "walking" race can get you in a hypnotic trance!!

And since I get CBC and NBC, Olympics coverage was pretty much all I watched the past two weeks.

More like it proved that you can't throw 12 guys together and expect them to play great together in 1 month, no matter how talented.

I watched a lot less of the LLWS this year than in previous years. Other than that, no.

No, as I barely watched any olympics.

no, but I missed a lot of Law and/or Order. Fortunately, I managed to catch the other 11 episodes being run daily on other channels.

You should count your blessings that Elizabeth Rohm was nowhere to be found on NBC for 2 weeks.

All I watched was the Olympics. I didn't watch any baseball or any other sports (not that there really were any other sports being telecast ;) )

It definitely cut my movie watching back (only watched one DVD and two movies....Open Water & Without a Paddle double feature).

I also missed a few trips to the gym cuz of it :mad:

Yeah, I realised I no longer want to watch sports in standard definition. :(

It made me realize that there are some sports/athletes that can get you horny.

Yes. I would watch a 90 minute movie and it would take about 3 hours to complete since I was flipping and switching to the Olympics.

Now I can watch programs uninterrupted.


I have not worked out either for the last 3 weeks.
