NBC is getting some flack from its gay audience that they were too cowardly to place this show on the parent network.
Also the show did better than expected; and Max Robinson of TVGuide said today on the Howie Carr show, Bravo was the testing ground. Thus, there was a possibility, in his view, it could be moved to the network. However, I think NBC will play it 'safe' and leave it in the 'Bravo closet' right where it is. Earlier some affiliates had not been happy and complained about promoting a cable/satellite network show.
But, I'm definitely not an expert; and as Bozell authored in his 'Title', it reached a wider audience then the gay community.
