NBC has finally owned up to the fact America was not ready for Jay Leno in primetime. The question is, what IS America ready for now that the Peacock Network has failed on their promise to give Leno at least a year?
While the experiment was an attempt to cut operating costs in primetime, as well as giving Leno exposure in a comfy slot, NBC will need to fill five weeknights after the Olympics with an hour of programming each evening. Should the network re-work their original shows from those time slots BACK into their own evenings, or would you like to see something completely different? OR, for many, it doesn't matter what NBC does, you are not watching.

NBC could redeem itself by developing a groundbreaking scripted drama like Mad Men. There are a lot of them making the development rounds right now. That's the only thing that can save NBC from complete irrelevancy.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much longer the network/affiliate structure can be kept alive in a world of web streaming, video-on-demand, DVR, etc. It seems to me that the NBC/Comcast merger is all about cutting the affiliates out of the loop.
