More Americans saw Friday's Olympics opening ceremony than any other Olympics opening ceremony, summer or winter. Some 40.7 million people watched the coverage, which beat the record of 39.8 million people who watched the ceremony for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
According to Twitter, the biggest spike in tweets came not during Paul McCartney's performance, or the queen jumping out of a helicopter with James Bond, but during Mr. Bean's "Chariots of Fire" homage.
I miss watching Mr. Beans.
