I don’t follow network TV much. Is there a listing of the shows about which they’re discussing?

Other than Sunday Night Football I can’t think of a single program I’ve watched on NBC in many years. And I nearly dumped that when Keith Olbermann was anchoring their halftime show.

Most of the ‘new’ series on most of the big 4 are little more than rehashes of existing or old series.

At least 5 of the ‘detective/police’ type stories have at least one main character whose family/wife/parent(s) were killed by some unknown bad guy.

Most of them use the same script, with minor variations.

As long as they keep Parks & Recreation, I’ll be watching at least a little bit of NBC. WEll, that and Sunday night football.

I love CBS shows. NCIS, NCIS LA, Survivor, 21/2 Men, Mike and Molly, CSI’s, and so many. I would say that 80 percent of my TV watching is on CBS. ABC and especially NBC is not good. I know everyone hates CBS here, but it is the news section that is hated and not the family oriented shows they have at night.

Why? Doesn’t this reduce revenue and put people out of work?

Maybe they should have nurtured Friday Night Lights better! One of the best shows in many years and they couldn’t move it to a better time slot. If they moved it to Tuesday or Thursday, when it wouldn’t compete with live football games it would have had a shot.

On Tuesday, for instance, Harry's Law, the network's most-watched scripted show, got an order for six additional scripts, despite its relatively old audience. Network execs were encouraged by a whiff of strength in the show among DVR users.

Harry's Law is just another foolish NBC Communist morality play, with leftist writers tossing turgid bits of propaganda and idiotic liberal tropes into every other line of the script.

They lay it on so heavily that it's even less watchable than Law and Order SVU (that is, unless you play a drinking game where you get to down a shot every time you identify yet another stale Commie propaganda ploy).

I guess the only show we watch on NBC is “Prime Suspect”, which, I think, must be an American remake of the popular British show of the same name that starred Helen Mirren. We like the show; hope it’s not cancelled.

They can put any kind of crap on. They can take it back off too. In the meantime, we’ll be watching Gaki no Tsukai and more real entertainment on the internet.

NBC used to own Thursday nights.

Lets show our solidarity with OWS protestors and crush crony socialism, crony capitalism.

Cut your satellite, Cable and all newspaper / magazine subscriptions. Write a letter and send copies to every corporation that make the products you use. Tell them why you cut your subscriptions. Tell the corporations that there is still the internet and talk radio to reach customers.
