And so it begins. Don’t expect a dazzling spectacle on the scale of Beijing as London hosts the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Jon Stewart, reacting to press conference video in which a scale model of the pastoral setting planned by the Brits, likened it to the Teletubbies set.” Ouch. But here it comes, along with a bunch of sheep, some folks playing cricket, and Sir Paul McCartney performing. And from this moment on, the temperature will be taken for the 2012 strain of Olympic fever. For the opening ceremonies of our own Olympics coverage, see out scene-setting pieces by Ed Bark at Uncle Bark's Bytes HERE, by Gerald Jordan at Crossing Jordan HERE, and by Christy Slewinski at Television and Beyond HERE.
