Wooohooo!
Does this mean Sandra's gone?!
Now they just need to get rid of Scott and it will be perfect 
I was pleasantly surprised by Tara's commentary, so I'm glad she's back.

Terry! Terry! Terry! 
My inner cynic will believe Sandra Bezic is gone only when we don't see her over on Universal Sports.

How wonderful for us; and for him!
In the interview he did last year; he made it clear that he missed commentating.
We missed you as well, Terry!

No Sandra? I'm afraid to even say that out loud for fear it'll jinx it, lol.
I'm very happy to have Terry back; it will make the skating season feel a little more like "skating season". My favorite skating "host" will always be Verne Lundquist, just love his voice and his style, but Terry is a close second.
Thanks for the info!

Yay, I love Terry! You could tell FS was never really his milieu, but he grew to be appreciative and respectful of the sport. I'm not thrilled with the inclusion of Scott and Andrea, but Michael and Tara shouldn't be too bad so I guess it all evens out.
And I swear, if NBC springs Sandra on us at the last minute, I'll freakin' scream.
ETA: Yes, and please bring back Dick! Please!

Yay for Terry!! He did say that he missed skating. It will be good to hear his soothing voice. Buh-bye, Bezic

Welcome back, Terry! Still, the fun of hearing Gannon was always how he would put Button in his place whenever he would go off on one of his long-winded and
tangents. I wish Susie Wynne would return, but less Scott and Sandra can only be a good thing. Hopefully, Tara will limit talking about herself the way she did during the Worlds broadcast. I'm not familiar with Michael's work behind the mic, but he can't be worse than Scott or Peter.
