TV Junkie: NBC vs. CTV @ Olympics; Season Finale of 'Men of a Certain Age'

"Men of a Certain Age" celebrates its first season finale tonight at 10pm on TNT
We're in Whistler at the Olympic games (we'll be posting vids and pics this week). Tonight we'll be checking out Devo and Chromeo who will both be performing for free as part of the celebration - performance that you won't be catching on NBC but that you would see on Canadian television.Speaking of NBC vs CTV, NBC's Brian Williams met up with CTV's Brian Williams at an event today called "The Summit" and NBC's Brian was blown away by the facilities and investment that CTV has put into their coverage of the games.
