Enjoying the olynmpics so far? What was your favorite part of the opening ceremony if you watched it?

Ooh, I loved all of it! My favorite scene was the Children's Literature section. I also loved the part with Mr. Bean.

I loved all of it, too!!  Especially the Deaf & Hearing Children's Choir signing and singing God Save the Queen.

 I really liked the concept of the cauldron this year, and to me, Paul McCartney singing "Hey Jude" was just perfect.

I liked the opening ceremony! I loved the music and Children's Lit part too. Thought they should have put more Harry Potter in it

I'm enjoying watching the gymnastics. It baffles me how they are so bendy and can stay so balanced!

YES. I them. Unfortunately, the DVR ate the opening ceremonies and we've been catching highlights only.

I saw most of the opening ceremony up until the procession of all the countries.  I liked the historical stuff, but the big baby thing was really creepy.

We don't have a TV, so I haven't been able to watch anything yet.

I guess I'm in the minority but I thought the opening ceremony was terrible and unbelievably boring. I liked the torch lighting but that is mainly because I love the tradition of that.

H puts the Olympics on sometimes so I watch with him once in awhile. I'm mesmerized by the gymnastics and the team diving or whatever it's called. 

As for the opening ceremonies... I saw some of it because I was at a family party and they had it on. I don't mean to sound like a Debbie Downer, but I think it is such a waste of money. They had to have spent at least a million dollars, probably more, on that ceremony. When I think of how many starving or hurting people they could have helped with all that money, it makes me kind of sad. I do really like the countries all walking in with the athletes and the torch lighting. And I can appreciate a short (like Super Bowl halftime show length) show. I just feel they went overboard. (I do realize that I'm the only one who feels this way. The family was loving it and my mom was SO into it).

I adore the olympics.  Sadly, I missed the Opening Ceremonies but I think they're on hulu, maybe?  I'm hopeful I'll get to watch soon.

I'm in the same boat as Sarah. We don't have TV so I can't watch either
