There's nothing on YouTube about the opening ceremonies, they've all been removed! |

While watching the opening ceremonies and the lighting of the cauldron, I was reminded of something Dorothy said in an episode of Golden Girls.
It was the episode in which she was sent to teach some training classes to a group of professional men. Most in the group didn't take it seriously — it was more of a vacation for them — except the lone Asian/Chinese guy. He began class by telling Dorothy that he had read all of the material, done all of the worksheets and had written a 20 page research paper on it.
To all of this, Dorothy replies "We're never gonna beat you people are we?"
To the following cities playing host to the Olympics, you should probably just hang it up with regards to opening ceremonies, you ain't topping this, sorry.

Just so everyone knows, Becky was there, not sure if any of you saw her but I did, and several Hammonites said they saw her too.

Seriously we saw her there, I saw it, and about 5 others said the same.

Holy crap, what a performance! Best opening ceremonies I've ever seen.
They didn't spend enough camera time on team USA for the home audience, though.

I don't know, I watched some of the Canadian broadcast this morning, and they had plenty to say themselves, tons of focus on their National Team to the point where they kept cutting out in the middle of the procession to interview various Canadian athletes. A rare instance where I didn't necessarily find Canadian coverage to be better...except that it was live.

You do realize that the NBC coverage was missing about 2 hours of the OC to the CBC coverage. Makes me wonder what you guys actually saw of the Sydney OC. Stilling waiting for the Aussies to make an appearance on the west coast.

That's what I wish NBC would have done with the US contingent. I'm used to interviews, seeing more faces, and lots of "hi mom!"s.

Someone on Stormfans who watched it said that like 2 hours of the Canadian coverage was filler (more interviews and such) and that they wished they'd have known because they'd have gotten a little more sleep.
