Media Schadenfreude alert.

NBC falling behind the Spanish-language Univision in the February ratings book.

Perhaps more liberalism is the answer.

Looks like that new management ain't working out so hot. Maybe they should move farther left and be a big success, like MSNBC. Oh, wait, they are MSNBC. Well, maybe they could move their primetime programs farther left. What? Not possible?

What? Americans don’t want to watch gay men with children? Go figger.

I haven’t watched a lot of prime time tv since I was a teenager though I did watch NCIS until they put Jamie Lee Curtis on it last year. blech If I missed NCIS when it aired on Tuesday night, then I would watch on the internet or On Demand. But after Jamie Lee Curtis made her second appearance and I read she would be a regular, I quit watching. Who wants to see Gibbs have a romance with his brother? lol

My teenagers like some of the shows on USA, but the main characters of those shows are gay men (in real life) pretending to be straight. I would rather read a book. Or hit refresh every ten minutes on the internet to see if Freerepublic is back online. I watched Covert Affairs for a while, but I decided scratching my fingernails on a chalkboard would be a better use of time. Who writes that stuff?????

They need more gays, cross-dressing kids, christian bashing, unfunny hacks (Tina Fey), and maybe a musical number about Obama?

Well, I've been watching GMC in prime time - reruns of "Touched by an Angel."

Good stories, uplifting, well written and well acted.

It's on ch 188 Dish. But I don't know what GMC stands for ....

Ahhhhhh....NBC. Bravely standing on the deck of their sinking Titanic network telling everyone they think a brisk dip in the ocean will do them good.

We canceled our cable not long ago. I was surprised how little I miss it. The Walking Dead was my only concern and we can pay a 1.99 for an episode off of Amazon. Sure beats the 110 bucks plus a month we were paying.

More and more people I know are just dropping cable they use the internet and tend to do more around the house and read more. I was a voracious reader before we dropped cable and now since we cut the cord I've read 6 books in a little over a week. Got a bunch more storage shelves built for much needed storage space and got a huge chunk of writing finished and ready for my "first reader" and his critique.

I Wish I'd canceled it 20 years ago!

I think the reason NBC and everyone else is losing viewers is because their business model isn't working AND they spend less money on making good programming and spend more money on promoting the crap they do make. It seemed like every channel I watched the commercial breaks were for other TV shows and maybe one Consumer goods ad and maybe a Car ad. How can they sustain a business model when all the do is promote their product with ad space that used to be for paying customers like McDonalds and Pepsi? Its like TV ads are one big circle jerk.

I noticed AMC would put teaser ads for the Walking Dead in their other TV shows to try and raise viewership.

Why not get the people who make good TV and pay them more to make MORE good TV? No instead lets put another stupid ass show that has some "alternate lifestyle" couple who is oh so much more intelligent than the straight people on the show.

One of the reasons I think the Walking Dead is so popular is they haven't had the obligatory "Gay/Lesbian" character yet. Not because people hate such characters but because its become such a cliche now to have one in every show.

The only show from NBC that I can think of from memory, is the “The Office”, and I quit watching that 2-3 years ago after it jumped the shark.
