Get a hit drama in here, stat!
Just a couple weeks into the fall television season, the prognosis is not looking good for NBC. To wit:

Wonderful. Now Comcast wants to buy in. Two-fer.
Good riddance! About time the Nothing But Barack Channel go down in flames
Bring back “Chuck”.
What is “NBC”?
Chuck is supposed to come back after the Olympics.
The comments are very odd. Most of them seem to be ads for weight loss products, make money quick schemes, and other things unrelated to the article.
Life getting canceled was the last straw for me even though I do enjoy Chuck. Heroes became unwatchable and they spent too little time cultivating Life and a few other quality shows and instead promoted the hell out of tired retreads and movie actors coming back to TV...add the cost for Leno and they snuffed out what was really a show I could enjoy.
Their fault...not mine.
They should have kept it and ditched Leno.
Have you seen the stories over the past few days about GE selling NBC/U to Comcast? Looks like it will happen.
Hopefully. And guess who's killing it?
I am more in the Dallas59 mode. I have never seen any of those shows. I am watching the Steeler getting up on the Chargers right now, but I almost never watch networks except for sports.

That would be Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical.
I would disagree that Leno is such a disaster at 10 for NBC. His ratings (5-6 million a night) are about what the 10 PM hour was doing for NBC last year with its awful dramas, which cost twice what the Leno show does. It was a sign of desperation for NBC, but Leno is profitable even at those crappy numbers.
What I want to know is how they can continue to keep MSNBC running with its local-cable-access-level ratings.
Chuck and Friday Night Lights. They’re both due in the spring. Chuck is produced by another company, maybe Warner Brothers. I wouldn’t mind seeing it out of NBC’s hands and on another station where it might thrive.
Ah, a WMD (weapon of mass disinformation)...

An once watchable TV network than now airs Nothing But Crap.
