Any thoughts of what WILL replace Jay Leno after the Winter Olypics?
Any ideas what *YOU’D LIKE TO SEE *replace Jay Leno?
I am guessing it’ll be another stupid reality show or Dateline
I heard on the radio that they were planning a Rockford Files remake for one of the slots, which should be interesting.
NBC ordered a record high number of pilots this year, they will have a lot of options for the fall.
But the change is scheduled for after the Winter Olympics. What do you think will happen till the fall?
Damn shame that it didn’t draw the numbers “needed”. I thought, and still think, that it is a good idea and, if given the time it needs, would be successful. It needs a year or two to become established as something people do. Nobody had watched this sort of program in network prime time before. If the affiliates hadn’t been squawking so much, it would have remained a good deal for NBC.
Until the fall they will have more Dateline shows and probably other news stuff. They could probably put some new scripted shows on in the summer.
One pilot NBC already has in the can is Rex Is Not Your Lawyer. Although America may not be crying out for a new quirky legal dramedy, I think this one has a promising cast: David Tennant (“Doctor Who,”), Jane Curtin (“Saturday Night Live,” “Third Rock From the Sun”), Jeffrey Tambor (“The Larry Sanders Show,” “Arrested Development”), and Jerry O’Connell (“Sliders,” “Crossing Jordan”). I’d like a chance to see the pilot at least.
Indeed, it was announced NBC would remake Rockford Files last summer.
Are they shooting now?
That is the one I am really hoping for! Last I read, the NBC execs were going to watch the pilot today (or yesterday) and would give their decision soon after.
How about The Pilot Show? Show a different pilot every night for a couple weeks, with online and telephone voting.
If this happens, we know who to blame.
They did that in the 1970’s. I don’t recall exactly what they called it. TV Movie of the week or something. But it was pilots that didn’t sell. Some of them were pretty good.
This would just infuriate you when the results are announced.
Do they air reality shows at 10? I don’t watch them, but I don’t recall any in the 10-11 slot as I’ve browsed through tv listings.
I’d like for them to rescue the recently canceled Raising the Bar, but I don’t think that will happen.
Maybe they can work out some deal with TNT for Southland.
The mods?
Well, not YOU, Twix. You know I love YOU. The flying monkeys have orders to spare you the worst in the event I change my mind about conquering the Earth.
I will sleep better knowing this. Thank you.
Of course, spare you the worst might be interpreted as allow you to put on shoes before the forced march to the pickle mines.
I did notice the phrasing, yes.
