Why? Why should they be hit for trying it? - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 15:04 13
- The ST hate for Leno was pretty strong when he tried this. I think that was because it would mean less big prety shows to fill up the TiVo - con_carne Jan 19, 15:07 3
  - What those discussions confirmed is that ST is smarter than NBC, which is kind of like beating a chicken at checkers. -- nm - David Jan 19, 15:15 1
    - Unfortunately, I've never done that. But I did beat Carson Daly at public awareness. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 15:16
  - I wouldn't say hate. - b. Jan 19, 15:10
- It's like putting on 5 nights of The Jersey Shore. It's not being innovative - it's being cheap and unimaginitive. - JaxSean Jan 19, 15:07 7
  - Yes, but isn't figuring out the proper economics of running a network in the 21st Century a part of this? - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 15:12 4
    - Sure, but keep in mind FOX has *no* late night programming. In that essence, they should just do Dateline and Law & Order 5 nights a week. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 15:19
    - there's a difference between never having something and taking something away. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 15:14 2
      - Yeah, this argument carries little water with me. We're living the greatest era of television in history and I can't begrudge a network.... - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 15:21
      - It's like NBC is conceding defeat, rather than fighting to regain #1 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 15:15
  - Exactly. -- nm - pmb Jan 19, 15:09
  - and they were pretty open about cost being a big reason for it as well. - Reagen Jan 19, 15:09
- Losing five hours of programming is a kick in the pants to serial fans, yes. But a lot of us saw this format not working. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 15:06
