Totally agree

And not at the end?
They mentioned it earlier I think.
Have to watch..nbc coming up soon.

The US is "Estados Unidos". I assume Portuguese is somewhat similar.

We NEVER watch actual commercials anymore.

Yes, it was much better and quicker that way.

NBC is messed up

OK coming up after Micronesia which is next up after the S countries.
Oh well.
Hope NBC doesn't break for 6 minutes of commercials and miss our athletes.

I can't watch their coverage as it's so over the top focused on U.S. athletes and I find that more than a little off-putting, nor do I like how much we and a few other countries spend compared to the rest of the world.

Cripe sakes..

NBC
USA Network
NBC Sports
Universal HD
Telemundo
MSNBC

Good luck USA.
I'll watch the rest on dvr another time.

Totally disconnected from the vibe.

NBC is getting an international feed being line-cut by a non-NBC director who is familiar with the show and it's various elements, and then inter-cutting that with their various nbc 'moments' - and sound is also more than likely coming from that same feed.

Meh.... I wish we had a c-span type of alternative that would just televise and not propagandize...

ANY commercials in
Bejing or London?

CBC aired them but I swear NBC edited them out.

The NBC coverage blows compared to CBC.

This has been the most disjointed telecast I can ever remember.

Might shatter their narrow little world. NBC is really trying to Anglicize these opening ceremonies.

Sad.

I was looking forward to seeing Fiji and Philippines, but NBC skipped them and a bunch of other countries because they kept focusing on USA!!!

EDIT: oh nevermind they replayed the other countries after the commercial break

I can no longer get NBC here in Seattle with my antenna as of a few months ago, and even though I live in a Comcast area with a government-granted monopoly, they do not offer service to my block.
