NBC hasn’t had “quality” programming since they cancelled “The Wonderful World of Disney” and “Bonanza”.
***
Actually, NBC has had a couple of good shows since then, but usually, the networks has found a way to cancel them. And that’s true of the other two networks as well.
CBS was notorious for taking a good show and moving it around so much that people couldn’t find it. Then the network would say, well, the show is low rated, so we’re cancelling it. Remember WKRP in Cincinnati? Very funny show...in some ways, way ahead of its time. But CBS moved it around so much that its fans couldn’t find it...then CBS cancelled it for low ratings.
I, for one, enjoyed Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Thought it was well written, paced well, great dialog. Plus, I was a huge fan of SNL back in the day and I thought the “tear down the 4th wall” approach was cool.
Dead and gone....
Miami Vice, Crime Story (anyone remember crime story)...and I guess that’s about it for interesting shows on NBC...and they arent even on anymore.
