I guess the relentless ST hate for this over the past few weeks got this one wrong -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 09:49 11
- Conan's first show was huge too. -- nm - Tim Sep 15, 09:56
- someone predicted that the opening night show would bomb? -- nm - dogbert183 Sep 15, 09:54
- well a) it's 1 show and b) popular things can still suck. According to Jim ran for 7 years. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 09:51 8
  - Well, I'm referring to predictions that no one will watch this, that it will fail like the Chevy Chase Show, etc. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 09:52 6
    - I don't recall seeing that prediction. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 09:56 3
      - me either. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 09:58 2
        
        third. I think we expect the show to fail, but not flop up front. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 10:00 1
        
        Fine, fine. Jeez, you'd think Leno proposed to his wife next to a Paris hot dog stand. - con_carne Sep 15, 10:04
    - and this doesn't disprove those theories -- nm - Beryllium Sep 15, 09:55 1
      - Fair enough, but it seems to me that 17 million is a high place to drop down from. I don't usually follow ratings news, so what do I know -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 10:02
  - mmmm Courtney Thorne Smith (her sister on the show is cute too) -- nm - Point Beak Sep 15, 09:52

- Yep, saturation advertising, Kanye, new show curiosity, and reruns on the other nets. -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 09:48
- definitely, if it levels out around 11-12 mil I think they will be happy, if it drops continuously, trouble -- nm - Point Beak Sep 15, 09:45
"Critics slam 'Leno Show,' call it 'Tonight' rehash" -- (link) - Ender Sep 15, 09:41 5
- Leno has specifically said it will contain several elements of his Tonight Show -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 10:12
- I figured that's exactly what it would be. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 09:45
- That's exactly what it is, but at 10 o'clock, it's cheap and saves NBC from dying entirely. -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 09:42 1
  - yup, around $3mil for the week is the estimate I read whereas 1 drama at that time slot would be around $3mil (so $15 mil for the week) -- nm - Point Beak Sep 15, 09:43
- What, exactly, were they expecting? -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 09:41
The Kanye affect...nothing more. -- nm - Be nice...until it's time to not be nice Sep 15, 09:39 8
- I was gonna watch to see if Kanye really is retarded maybe - but the Leno dislike kept me away - I just googled what Kanye said instead. -- nm - JenBro Sep 15, 10:34
- All I knew until yesterday was the Seinfeld was gonna be on. Then came the Kanye news. I wonder how much of an impact it had. -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Sep 15, 09:47
- There's also the general "first show curiosity effect". -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 09:41 3
  - I am going to dimiss that effect this time around because I really had no expectation this would be different than a late night show. Guess we'll see - Be nice...until it's time to not be nice Sep 15, 09:45
  - Um, NBC promoted the hell out of this show -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 09:44 1
    - yes... that's his point. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 09:57
- Uh...effect, that is. -- nm - Be nice...until it's time to not be nice Sep 15, 09:39 1
  - depends on the age breakdown. If it skews younger than probably, but if it is his bread and butter older crowd, probably not -- nm - Point Beak Sep 15, 09:41
ugh. - Road House Groiny Sep 15, 09:38
What's the estimated drop when actual shows start airing? -- nm - MDH Sep 15, 09:38
