NBC interrupts The Olympics for "The Marriage Ref"

[TroyG]

Which happens to be another stupid mindless TV show created by Jerry Seinfeld & Tom Papa, And I hope one day this new show will go down the toilet just like "Supertrain", which was in fact a disastrous flop. A lot of Olympic fans were so very disappointed. it happened just before Nickleback took the Olympic Stage.

Just another piece of cheap crap reality show.I was pssst at 10.30 last night when they pulled this bullcrap.I dont like Nickleback,but still have respect for the viewers for once,instead of shoving this garbage in our face.I stop my Tivo at that time and fired it back up after the crap was over.

Wow, talk about adding insult to injury... and only 30 minutes before local news, to boot. The affiliates must have loved that.

Dear Comcast: When you finally take over NBC (whenever that happens), clean house. Please. WE'RE BEGGING YOU.

Personally, this was NBC's best Olympics ever, only to end it with... this.

No doubt Nickelback (and the performers that followed) have the desire to chew NBC out for this stunt. Is NBC really that desperate for ratings?

Talk about major stupidity, An Infomercial for people who loves to make serious money without going to work really did much better than this NBC suckfest; Seinfeld was on Oprah's late-afternoon show yesterday plugging his latest show, and his wife, Jessica was in attendance.They had a clip where a couple had turtles along with some fish in their house. I hope NBC will listen to the audience; This show must GO!

NBC's transitioning from sports programming to regular programming has had a history of being bland.

When their coverage of the Super Bowl concluded in 1998 (the last year of NBC's previous NFL contract) the announcers "wrapped up" only to throw it to "3rd Rock" star John Lithgow to mutter some garbage, leading into a new episode of the show, which followed the Super Bowl on this year.

And then, of course, there's also "The Heidi Bowl."

It's on again. This time NBC says it's "the premiere."
Anybody who said something bad about this show, you were all right, but you probably understated it.
My sides hurt. From cringing and flinching. I made it 20 minutes.

And into a gimmick 3-D episode of "3rd Rock" too which I just remember as awful and painful, both in the writing and physically because of the 3-D glasses we had to wear to watch it. NBC has no idea how to lead out of a big sports event at all, beyond long ago when they premiered "The A-Team"

I thought it was a great gag, and of course it always aired when the episode was rerun.

Sorry, I'm way behind in my reading.
