Slimmed-Down Olympics

Re Brian Lowry’s TV column (“The Big Coin Toss,” Jan. 30):

One way to beat NBC at its own game is to tape the day’s Olympic programming and replay it at your leisure, zapping the endless commercials, schmaltzy fillers and inane talking heads. I have taped two previous Olympics and boiled down hours of drivel to about 90 minutes of sports.

Viewers may as well tape the shows. We’ll know the results before NBC’s taped coverage is aired on the weft coast.
