The Olympic Schedule

NBC just released their Olympic schedule and it goes like this.

Saturday - Figure skating
Sunday - Figure skating
Monday - No figure skating, ice dancing instead.
Tuesday - Figure skating
Wednesday - what ever sport Shaun White does.
Thursday - hockey highlights, figure skating
Friday - More Shaun White and Apolo Ohno's wipe outs.(because he's got a cool name)
Saturday - Ice dancing finals
Sunday - Ice dancing exhibition


Of course, there will be intermittent highlights of the luge accident and an occasional speed skating highlight.

I've made the point before that if you have to judge it, it's not a sport and the winter olympics are chalk full of them. That added to the Oprah Winfreying of sports by NBC means that I probably won't be watching.

Of course, if The Lovely Mrs. Gekko wants to watch over, say The Closer, re runs, I probably won't have a choice.
