- Both of them are horribly mismanaged, but Comcast has shittastic customer support on top of that. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:24 6
  - NBC plays 30 Rock and SNL digital shorts. Therefore, they are fine wih me. :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 3, 16:27
  - what? in school all we talk about is how fantastic the Welsh/Immelt philosophies are -- nm - fedup Dec 3, 16:26 3
    - NBC the television channel, I meant. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:28 2
      - interesting. then why are they keeping zucker as CEO? won't he just drive them into the ground again? -- nm - fedup Dec 3, 16:31 1
        
        I guess they'll find out. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 16:36

canceling Jay Leno, for starters -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 3, 16:22 9
- No way. If anything, we see more crap like this. It's dirt cheap to produce. Comcast will immediately start by cutting costs. Less expensive dramas... - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 3, 16:39 1
