NBC is strugling to put quality shows right now because they're spending way too much money on average shows (and stars) such as "Friends", "ER", "Frasier" and "The West Wing". They're either have to dump one or more of these shows or risk losing advertisers to high costs of advertising on NBC.

Are you guys kidding me? ER is still the best show on TV! They have succesfully survived the passing of the original cast...they continue to deliver great scripts....the acting is first rate....the cinematography is fabulous etc etc. It's like watching a mini-movie week after week. I'm sorry, but I disagree that ER is dead in the water. After all these years, I look forward to new episodes of ER on Thursday nights. I guess opinions are like armpits...everyone has them! ;)
