Television Premieres and Notables: February 17-23, 2014

The Winter Olympics are wrapping up this week. If you haven't been watching, give something a chance.

The USA Men's Hockey team had a killer game against the Russians-- and if we're lucky, we'll see them face each other again.
The Women's team ran over their opponents until they came up against their arch-nemeses, the Canadians.
Unfortunately, the teams I have been watching most closely for the past couple Olympics, the U.S. curling teams, have been plagued with bad play at first, and then bad breaks later. The women didn't make it past the Round Robin and the men are not far behind. Not great for my "local" teams (the women are mostly from my current WI whereabouts and the men are from my birthplace of MN).
Oh well. Still gotta root for 'em.
But since the U.S. women are done, I'm hoping the Russians can make a run if they get past the prelims. They're my team now. Not only are they interesting in a less-seasoned (they're very young for the field) way, but they're strikingly beautiful.
