I tried watching it but I got bored.

well at least I'm not the only one who got bored. I tried for not very long at all. probably a minute and I couldn't do it.

That's why they do highlight progams, for those with olympic ADD.

I can't watch hours of that stuff either but it is still spectacular.

I just can't stand Bob Costas so I turned the volume down for the ceremony and watched the display for a little bit.

I agree.

As for the opening ceremony it was very long so some of it got boring but most was truly amazing from beginning to end(of the show part). The final torch bearer and how he "ran" along the top of the stadium, excellent! His leg muscles must have been killing him!

When watching the ceremony, the commentator said some of the fireworks did look like computer graphics or something but wasn't aware that it actually was, at least didn't say so.

Well, I didn't think it was real (the 29 footsteps that is). It didn't look real at all IMO. It was still a good idea though.
