First off, NBC commits to nothing but reality programming in the 8 PM hour and now Jay Leno at 10 PM five nights a week?
What you’re saying is that the network of LA Law, Homicide, ER, The West Wing – they’re going to only 5 hours of weeknight primetime that MAY contain scripted programming? I mean, assume they’re going to shuffle around the comedy block, that’s 2 hours right there. Assume that some version of Law & Order will stick around, that’s 1 hour, assume that Heroes isn’t getting the gas pipe, that’s another hour…
Seriously, this is the plan? Extend late night into prime time and hope for the best? I knew Jeff Zucker didn’t have the brains God gave a cockroach, but it’s not the sort of thing you expect to see someone flaunt. Plus it’s not like Heroes hasn’t gone completely suckadoodledoo, because seriously, I think they’ve replaced the showrunner with a chimp or something.
I have more personal stuff to blog about, but it’ll be along later.
