NBC Execs Talk Sad "State of Affairs"

"State of Affairs‘" state of affairs has been understandably disappointing for NBC brass.
Despite having been trained to “expect the worst” as a broadcast executive, NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt told TVLine on Friday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, “I’m disappointed in what it’s been doing the last couple of weeks…. It’s a show that I think is a really fine show, so I’m scratching my head a little bit about why we can’t get more people to be there for it.”
Greenblatt, along with NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke, went on to theorize that the freshman’s drama’s increasingly serialized element possibly turned some viewers off, while precluding new sampling.
The status of the freshman drama "Constantine" — which has struggled in the ratings and saw its episode count cut down — is not surprisingly “up in the air,” Greenblatt said.
