They do not "Views topped 1 billion live minutes of streaming as of Wednesday night — a 232 percent increase from 2012, though London did not offer a live-stream during primetime." http://www.hollywoodreporte…

*shakes fist at sky*

The live tv ratings are low for the Olympics, they are high for most everything else that is aired on tv. Plus this year a great deal of people are watching on streaming. So, no.

And Americans have been winning judo medals! A lot! This is where NBC is failing.

They would absolutely do worse.

he owns the douche bro to such a degree I can't help but be be like "okay Ryan you do you." Nathan Adrian though, I want to have brunch with Nathan Adrian NOW and forever.

A sporting competition where skilled athletes come from around the world to compete against each other and teach Americans about handball.

Yes, I'm VERY lucky in that I have an office & job where I have my laptop in my office streaming so I can watch my archery, fencing, etc.

The streaming numbers are very high. There are several articles on the Hollywood Reporter about this if you'd like to see industry POV.

They don't put it in primetime even when we f*cking medal in other sports. It's absurd. I'm not saying it would help ratings but it's damn sure annoying.

That was an awesome moment yesterday.

It's because the streaming numbers are up 266 percent from London. Even NBC itself advertises the livestreams all day. People watch tv differently in 2016 than they did in 2012 that's just facts. Having a 27.3 million average is amazing in this day and age. If they over promised advertisers that's on them but we…

Really miss Tyrell.

That being said, even though canonically I know Mary & baby can't really still be alive after this series, I long for the (for lack of a better term) fun days of series 1 when it was just…

Hmmm, iiiiinteresting.

"I'm pretty sure Adams character and his special relationship with Rachel will be destroyed by the end of the season" I agree and I'm sad about it.

I do think the show somewhat lucked out the first season by having Freddie & Shiri's chemistry be so amazing that everything with them was just elevated. I was trying to pinpoint last week why this season is not doing it for me quite as much and in addition to that I also thought the contestants just didn't have the…

Very interesting, Mike. Never seen the movie but this was a nice read.

The show wasn't perfect but the cast is great and the potential is there. I also really enjoy the sibling relationships on the show - especially Jimmy & Kenny. Their interactions are the best part of the show!
I literally almost choked on my dinner when Stewart came out of that closet with the promposal. Oh my dear…

Same. I love Jimmy's character and think he's the opposite of cliché. As you said, his relationship with Kenny is refreshing and different to see.
