NBC...The Worst Network Of ALL Time.
8/13/08

For my first blog on the Q, I am going to use this forum to vent about my utter and complete disgust of NBC.  I'm sure we've all heard about the "Heidi Game" when NBC so brilliantly decided to cut the feed of a Nationally Televised Football game with 65 seconds left in order to show the scheduled Heidi episode.  Most American awoke the next day to read in their newspapers that the "losers" had actually made an amazing come-back and won the game.  Good call NBC, good call.  But, alas, I wasn't even born when that happened, so I've managed to forgive them on that....

HOW-E-VER (in the voice of Stephen A. Smith of ESPN)...last night was just completely inexcusable...ridiculous...a monstrous travesty to all of America.  I THOUGHT (excuse me for being presumptuous) that NBC was airing the night events LIVE...my television sure as hell said "LIVE"...the announcers assured me it was "LIVE"...but Apparently, they were mistaken.  2 hours...I say again...TWO HOURS...before Michael Phelps won his next 2 Gold Medals, ESPN was reporting it had taken place...they had the story...they had clips...they had the times...apparently ESPN is drinking the same Kool-Aid as Phelps and broke the story in World Record time...TWO HOURS before it happened "LIVE".  What the hell was I watching for those 2 HOURS that "the reason for the Olympics" wasn't being broadcast?  Men's Beach Volleyball!  That's right...I even tried CNBC...Women's Softball.  After the Volleyball, did they cut to the "LIVE" feed of Phelps?  No...I was allowed to watch the pre-teen girls in gymnastics...awesome!  That was presumably "Live", too...but I was on the phone with my buddy ranting about Beach Volleyball and at that time he was watching the girls' gymnastics "LIVE".

NBC...you are the absolute WORST...without a doubt, positively WORST (Fox”News”, CNN, and your affiliate MSNBC included) WORST network of ALL TIME.

Oh...and the next time you want to "Go Green"...why don't you try something a little more beneficial than turning your logo green and "shutting off the lights during commercials"...here's an idea...just stop broadcasting.

I totally feel you! By the time they get to showing what everyone wants to see it is after 10:30 pm on the west coast. I have a couple more things to add to your rant-------Did I have to see Pandas? They are cute, but I can watch Animal Planet or go to San Diego zoo if that is what I wanted. Also, the little square in the bottom corner of the screen that says 30 or whatever minutes till Michael swims is all BS. I teach time, and 30 minutes means 30 minutes---so when it is 9:00 on the west coast and it says 30 minutes till Michael swims---I should see him swim at 9:30 or so not 2 hours later!!!! Another thing, I have nothing against beach volleyball--in fact I have been to a couple of matches; however, unless it is for a medal, please do not show it  before an event that will go down in Olympic history. There I said it! I, too, feel a little better. Thanks!!!
