In 2 weeks, how many hours did you watch, total?
Mark me down for about 2. Thrilling televison drama.
0 hrs sorry olympics are not for me
I watched a total of about 4 hours. Some good competitions there.
Not at all.

I'd say I've watched more than 40 hours; and that doesn't include it as just background noise whilst I'm using the computer.
I've caught some of the disappointing hockey games but that's about it. NHL is on break and I needed my hockey fix.

6 - 8 or so hours. The snowboarding, luge, skeleton, speed skating, and ski events were great entertainment. Didn't get to see much hockey, not even 1 full game, saw pieces of 3 games, all of which were very low scoring, but all had lots of wide open play and good goaltending. I was disappointed with the US team though, how can they just not score at all?
Unfortunately, they always have a lot of figure skating on at night, and I just don't care for it, so I would channel surf when it came on and end up watching something else for the rest of the night. I still can't figure it out, why would anyone want to watch a bunch of major flamers dressed like Dorothy's shoes skate around for an hour? Some of the chicks are really hot and even that isn't enough to make me want to watch them skate but some guys will for that reason alone. I really don't get the women who watch the pairs or men's skating, these guys would NEVER be interested in you or the woman they're skating with except as a "girlfriend" of another kind, leaving the only audience that I could possibly see being gay men. Or are a large amount of women really so romantically delusional that somehow their gaydar is totally and irreparably defective? 
I've watched some, off and on.
Does anyone know why the medals are in the shape of a cd this time around?
The bagel-shaped medals?
I couldn't find the official answer but I recall it harkening back to the early days of the Olympics and that ancient coins were made with holes in them so you could string them together in lieu of having pockets. Of course, this may be totally fabricated in some twisted dream I had as well. As usual, take with regular grain of salt.
Watched the skating relay, that's about it.
i probably watched somewhere around 10 hours -- maybe more -- caught some hockey, snowboarding, some of the ski jumping, some of the bobsled events, speed skating, and i finally figured out how curling was scored too. i caught a little bit of the figure skating, but mostly because the fiance wanted to watch it.
overall, the olympics weren't overly exciting, but it was fun to watch sometimes. more interesting than normal television anyways.
I watched a bit on off, Canada had its best showing with a special shout out going to Cindy Klassen who brought home five medals.
probably about 20 hours.
mostly just curling.
thank you tivo.
I caught about 10 minutes of the curling. I would have switched over immediately, but I was amazed that one of the female Scottish team wasn't old and ugly, and I lost all motor control for 9m59secs.
20 or so.
f0il
2 funny!....lol
Thanks
