I might modify that to 33% volleyball, 33% Phelps and 33% odd little girls' gymnastics. In past Olympics it was 80% gymnastics and 20% human interest stories.

It is like NBC's cameras are mounted in concrete in the major venues and can't move around to show different events. And this goes for showing China itself. Cynics say they don't want to go out and about because they might come upon a protest and feel obligated to broadcast it, thus pissing off the government. See no evil...

I would like to see some outside scenery and all the minor sports. This is what makes the Olympics special. And, of course, sweaty scantily clad women with fine athletic bodies sprawling in hot sand.
