What's on Tonight: Summer Olympics, NFL Preseason, True Blood Home Shopping

TV tips for Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012.

Posted by Elissa Bass (Editor), August 8, 2012 at 11:45 am

Summer Olympics, 8 p.m., NBC

Tonight, “Track and field, finals: decathlon, men's triple jump, men's 200m, men's 800m; diving: women's platform final; beach volleyball: men's final; cycling: men's BMX quarterfinals.” Do you think Bruce Jenner can even let himself watch this?

NFL Preseason Football, 7:30 p.m., check listings

No. Bad football. Go away. No talk of fall yet.

Forsaken Fragrance Premiere Inspired by True Blood, 9 p.m., HSN

Seriously? What does this smell like? Copper and sweat?

Sorry, "Steve" and "Susan" - I have to admit that I had the same thought that…Read More "Johnny" did. This is what happens when you are unwilling to publicly standup for what you believe in - for your ideas. Suggest you show up at a TC meeting and share your thoughts - just remember that you will have to state your name and address! "Johnny" - you need to come clean too - if you want to be taken seriously.

@Johnny, I don't know who you are but I know who I am and I am not Steve's wife. It appears however…Read More we have the same philosophy. See what Mr. McCann does not understand that his arrogance will be his downfall. Why should someone identify themselves when his comment above sounds very threatening. Everyone who comes in contact with Mr. McCann better not disagree with him to his face as he will rip you apart. Proof of that is at council meetings. Good day Johnny.

Mr. McCann arrogantly conducts himself on the Town Council and here as if he is above criticism,…Read More forgetting (or simply not caring) about the privilege and responsibility serving elected office holds. A privilege and responsibility granted by the very same constituents McCann insults with comments above. Lacking empathy and humility are never traits respected leaders aspire, and sadly what McCann has disrespectfully expressed here.

Totally agree with you Mr. Sullivan. There are some who cannot use their real name or only a first…Read More name at fear of being attacked. Being a politician Mr. McCann has no problem speaking out. If you disagree with him you get ripped apart. I have witnessed it first hand by watching the council meetings on TV.

Some folks choose not to use their real or full names on public bulletin boards and blogs……Read More Welcome to the 21st century Mr. McCann! Indeed the terms of use for Patch say quite clearly: "We encourage, but do not require, that the user name you provide be your real name." Mr. McCann you have chosen to be a public figure and politician. Others who may only wish to participate anonymously on blogs and postings such as these are not required to participate at whatever _you_ may deem to be an acceptable level.
