In response to "It's like putting on 5 nights of The Jersey Shore. It's not being innovative - it's being cheap and unimaginitive." by JaxSean

Yes, but isn't figuring out the proper economics of running a network in the 21st Century a part of this?

Yes, cost was a big part of it, but to play devil's advocate...What's different between them doing this and Fox just choosing to never run 10:00pm original programming? Is anyone getting on Fox for being cheap and uncreative?

Responses:

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
