We tried to watch it twice and fell asleep both times.

He is a fair actor, but he can be very boring. He was too both of us in this failed show.

For the love of God, would someone please take NBC out of the hands of this idiot.

Fire Zucker, save the network.

You were spot on. Check this out. Maybe they could do those kiddie/clown shows like used to be on Saturday mornings.

NBC Affiliates Receptive To More Local Primetime Hours

Affiliates stressed that producing local programming isn’t cheap, but it is a differentiator in the vast landscape of viewing options. “Our niche these days is localism,” says WSAZ Charleston-Huntington (WV) General Manager Don Ray. “With all the options on the dial—and with those options growing all the time—the opportunity to do more localism [is a positive thing].”

They need to expand Extra into a 2 hour show.

We usually watch Sunday Night Football, since my husband is a big fan of John Madden, but I just about blow a gasket when Bathtub Boy (Keith O) comes on to blather about nothing, and lower the sound if I can. Why his comments matter escapes me - he spouts platitudes and makes inane remarks - worse than Tony Cornheiser. Why alienate conservative viewers who know who he is?

I didn't know Life Is Worth Living was on that network. I didn't even know that network existed! Government put it out of business... it figures.

Death to NBC. Burn it down and sow salt on the ruins.

OK, I confess. I have watched NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” for longer than I care to admit. When I miss it at noon, it’s on SoapNet at night.

Same with us....really love ER but its about over, which may be a kindness since Crichton died, and Heroes is good but I’d just as soon download someone’s widescreen hi-def rips at the end of the season and watch it in mini-arcs, 3-4 eps at a time over a few days. Local cable quality is pretty crappy compared to what can be had online.

They can cut out that dumba55, unwatchable SNF Halftime Show and I wouldn't bat an eye.
