NBC says it's dropping most scripted programs from the network's 8 p.m. time slot next season, replacing them with reality and game shows.

What are they gonna do wheel out Wink Martindale and play Tic-Tac-Dough 2006?

Or at least take those Wink Martindale Orbitz commercials and turn them into a real game show. It would be like having a 1950s game show all over again with a primary sponsor with their logo everywhere and everyone could be dressed formally and everyone could have to perform a crazy act and...

sorry, I'm describing American Idol.

Who watches NBC these days, anyway? We watch programs on cBS, ABC or FOX, two shows on NBC is all... ER and Vegas. NBC did themselves in with programming that was constantly trying to program the people watching the shows.... ABC came close last season with Madam President (or whatever it was called).

Hey don't knock Wink. His "Deck of Cards" is one of my all time favorite recordings.
