OK, here's my listing of what's worth watching each day for the Olympics. Consult your listings for full info on what's being shown. You could even try the TV listings on the NBC Olympic site, but it's awful. Half the time it doesn't load. I fear this presages future craptaculence by the NBC Universal family of networks, but let's think happy thoughts.
Day 1, Friday 2/10: Opening Ceremonies, 8 pm EST, NBC
Brian Williams steps in for Katie Couric. No word if he'll deliver the inane banter or if he'll leave it to Costas. They could make for an interesting pairing if they don't force Bruce Vilanch-type material on them.
There's a repeat airing at 2:30 am if you can't catch it in prime-time.
Day 2, Saturday 2/11: Women's ice hockey, USA-Switzerland, 12 pm EST, USA Network
The capper of 7.5 hours of women's hockey, with the previous two games (Finland-Germany and Sweden-Russia) kicking of at 7 am on CNBC.
The afternoon show on NBC (3-6 pm EST) will feature men's singles luge.
Prime time on NBC features the men's 5000 meters in speed skating. There's also moguls, pairs figure skating, and a men's downhill preview.
