As Ive said before....
once Frasier leaves, so do I.
(except for SNL)

It's all about ratings. If a show isn't performing well or if they think it will perform better in another slot, they move it. Plain and simple.

Thursday Night has always been messy for NBC with Survivor and CSI on CBS. It kills the lineup except for Friends.

NBC has rulled the ratings since the mid-80s.
But its all going down now....
CBS has taken back the gold.

I watch 2 shows on NBC
2 shows on CBS
3 shows on ABC
and 2 shows on FOX

and some of those are only occassional.

donald snl · 12-06-2003, 11:32 PM

im sure someone thinks hes doing a good job just not me

Considering that NBC has no saturday morning cartoons, only one sitcom I like ("Frasier"), one series of drama that I like ("Law & Order") and a glutton of reality shows (which I HATE!), NBC is one of my least-watched stations (aside from MTV, which I never watch!).

Their scheduling totally stinks. I mean, UPN only moved Star Trek: Voyager twice in seven years. Come on, NBC, get some good shows, steady the skeds and then you'll have my viewing. But, until then, nope!

Jeff Zucker running NBC.
Michael Eisner running Disney (ABC)

where's the justice?
the losers always get the top spots.

Nbc is going down the drain. The only shows I watch on NBC are the Law and Order shows which nbc is airing to death, ER(which is not as good as it was), Third Watch and Las Vegas. I can't tell you the last sitcom I watched on nbc. It was probably 3rd Rock From The Sun.

donald snl · 12-07-2003, 05:23 PM

anybody see the snl bit making fun of him last night it was right on the money.

PZelda · 12-08-2003, 04:06 AM

Bah. I stopped watching NBC a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago. Since I like Will & Grace so much, I watch it when they rerun it on WB instead. Better that way and WB doesn't screw with their schedule like NBC does.

I haven't watched NBC regularly for many years now. It just plain sucks. I'd rather watch "Yes, Dear" than the BS they have on NBC. Go to hell, Jeff. You and your schedules ****ing suck.

as soon as Friends leaves, I leave
