What??? There was MORE??? I missed The Who!!!!!!! DRAT!! I went to bed!!
I am totally disappointed in the way NBC handled the entire broadcast from start to finish. Never cared for Costas before and like him less every two years he attempts to ruin one of the only sporting events I watch. I miss McKay!!!
I'll have to see if I can find the remainder of the closing ceremony (which I DID enjoy) on demand - like I had to do so I could see ANY of the equestrian events that NBC completely ignored.
Loved the Monty Python bit ... would have preferred Eric Idle sing the Universe song though - and they missed a great opportunity to have knights with coconuts!! But I loved the roller skating nuns with Union jack knickers!!
