It's like putting on 5 nights of The Jersey Shore. It's not being innovative - it's being cheap and unimaginitive.

Where shows like Lost and Chuck and [insert other high-quality shows here] are in their quality over quantity. They weren't going for creativity - they were going for cheap.

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

and they were pretty open about cost being a big reason for it as well. - Reagen Jan 19, 15:09
