Hi Received today's TV guide: No "Duel in the Pool" Yesterday's half-hour contained about 10 minutes worth of swimming in total. Maybe somebody else's NBC coverage was more inclusive (and longer).

Is anyone planning on watching/recording the Duel in the Pool on nbc this weekend? I have to be out of town for work,so I won't have a chance to record it. Is/would anyone be willing to make a copy for the meet for me? I will gladly pay you back for the time and effort. Thanks! John Hi Our (Canadian, printed with the paper) TV guide is showing a program note for it for one hour today, Saturday, 1200-1300. (I'll have to wait till tomorrow's paper comes out to see if it's scheduled for tomorrow as well). Unfortunately the Internet TV guide for Ottawa is showing completely different programming so it's a toss of the dice whether I'll be recording "Duel in the Pool" or "Jane and the Dragon and Doctor Two-Two". I'm taping it on timer because I swim between 1145 and 1315 on the weekends. I can only tape VHS and I have no (or access to) facilities to make copies but I'll gladly mail you my Video if you can copy it and return it. (The first part of that Videocassette has the 2005 "Duel in the Pool". Let me know if you have not made other arrangements and let me have a mailing address. Cheers

I'm getting sick and tired of TV program schedulers and the fact they're all morons. First of all they announce one (1) hour of "Duel in the Pool". I set my VCR to record, starting at the time they said (and just in case they keep on airing, I add another couple of hours). When I get home and replay the tape, it looks as if they had started earlier (by how much? I can't tell) but they only show 30 minutes from the time they announced, and then they show bloody, darned, "*&$%^#@ing, ice hockey. (Yeah! Yeah! I know. I'm a Canadian but, to me, ice hockey, is just a violent display of body checking on ice, with very little finesse. I know that my fellow Canadians on this -and other sites- will bend my ears with their comments about the "Candian game" ---par excelence--- but that's how I feel. I also feel that Poker is NOT a sport, and should NOT be aired on a sport channel.)

Drat, I missed it! I'm hoping they'll replay it sometime... I notice they're putting more and more of their series shows on the web after the first airing.... Not that I'm holding my breath for this one... At least I got to see Michael Phelps on Jay Leno, but was unfortunately a little too sleepy to remember the dialogue. Except they talked about swimming at least some of the time. ;)
