I dunno if NBC could step in if he's outpricing himself from the show on the #1 network. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 09:44 12
- yeah but NBC is desperate for shows and I could see them stepping up to get grab it. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 09:46 11
  - They wouldn't they've got their comedy block and it's doing well, I don't thing they're going to mess with that. - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:47 10
    - the best show in that block, The Office, averages 9 million viewers. "Men" averages 14 million - sherlock homie May 11, 09:49 9
      - And Medium was a top 20 show before moving to CBS. -- nm - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:54 3
        
        i have no idea what point you are trying to make - sherlock homie May 11, 09:58 2
        
        CBS bought Medium because NBC was dumping a top 20 show. It isn't one on CBS. - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 10:03
        
        I think as the Medium comment indicates, that despite all their protestations, NBC doesn't like large #s of viewers -- nm - crash davis May 11, 10:01
      - Right; as a pure #'s thing; they'd kill for the show, but I don't know if they would/could pay for it given Sheen's demands. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 09:51 4
        
        NBC paid through the nose for Seinfeld, Friends among others. I'd say they'd jump at the chance -- nm - budice May 11, 09:55 3
        
        When you're #1 with all the revenue coming from the show that you know will continue..it's easy to pay. - Will Hunting May 11, 10:01
        
        They just paid Coco and his minions $40mil to go away -- nm - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:58 1
        
        okay, let the grownups talk alone now -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 09:59
