SUMMER OLYMPICS Yes, we’re bummed out that, due to coronavirus concerns, there will be no fans in attendance for the Tokyo Games. But the global event, after being delayed for a year, should still deliver plenty of must-see TV. As usual, things get rolling with the Opening Ceremony, and because of the vast time difference, NBC will broadcast the festivities live in the morning (Friday, 7 a.m.) for the first time ever. But for viewers wanting to stick to traditional evening viewing, the network’s “comprehensive” prime-time broadcast will feature special coverage of Team USA, along with the performances, pageantry and Parade of Nations. (Prime-time coverage: Friday, 7:30 p.m., NBC)
