I agree.  They seemed to make a conscious effort to focus on the last 50 years of British pop culture in the opening and closing ceremonies, and that had the effect of making English culture seem pretty slight and inconsequential.  Sure, the opening ceremonies had some odes to the Victorian Era, and the part about the…

Two years ago as well.

Just watched it.  Based on previews, I had higher hopes for this than Go On.  Based upon the pilots, I have reversed my opinion.  Unlike Will, I do not consider a monkey on screen to be the height of television comedy.

So does the description above mean AVC has no intention of covering Hard Knocks?  It's not like anyone was fired up about the Bengals in 2009, but that was still pretty good.  Better than a "classic" episode of Dawson's Creek, at least.
