NBc entire lineup is repleat with shows that routinely take cheap shots at America. Its not surprising, given how the anti America movies have bombed that its also affecting television ratings.
ER? How many episodes can they run with a sub plot about Darfur and America’s being at fault for whats happening there? Or Bosnia? How many episodes can they portray the Iraq war in a bad light?
How’d that ‘going green’ promotion do, NBC? Oh, sorry, you know the ratings listed in this article?
Brian Williams can’t even capitalize on Katie Couric’s implosion? Gee, I wonder why NBC....(eyes rolling)
And for what its worth, I actually like ‘Hero’s’ and ‘Medium’ but you’ve managed to leave the former hanging after last night due to the writers strike, and you’ve all but destroyed the latter by playing games with the scheduling.
I haven’t watched a “sitcom” since I got back to the ZI over ten years ago. The promos of some of the embarrassments drove me off. I do like Law & Order, but that’s about it for network TV (NFL excepted). Why did they hire that stoat Olberman?
New Broadcasting Canceled
As I think about it, other than live sports, I haven't watched any kind of Network show in at least 10 years. History Channel, Fox News and NFL Network are about it.
Did Heroes finally pick up this season. I lost interest at episode 4 or 5 cause it didn’t seem like it was going anywhere. Still have the season pass on my Tivo and just moving the file to cold storage for later viewing currently.
Chuck, Journeyman, and Life I’m enjoying though.
I watched the last Heroes last night and didn’t find it very satisfying. According to USA Today this morning, Chuck and Journeyman may end up cut permanently if the strike is not resolved quickly so they can get back on the schedule quickly after the first of the year.
Will the “clashing choirs” be using boxing gloves or bare knuckle?
Bibles.
Hey I have an idea to get NBC back on track. Let’s have a new show about a caring compassionate doctor that bucks the system out of deep personal conviction. Let him be manly, but with a sensible, good hearted liberalism. Let him have a few inner demons that he wrestles with to show us his human side; like let him be the victim of a cruel hearted conservative hypocritical religious father that drinks and embezzles. Let every episode end with a lesson on why we need more feeling from the hear. Let’s continue to insult 30 percent of our potential audience by telling them how stupid and evil they are.
I would watch that...
I enjoy Friday Night Lights.
Even Tim Kring is admitting that they screwed up this season with Heroes...basically agreeing with many fans that it was boring and unwatchable due to poor storylines.
I found Chuck to be one of the more original and enjoyable shows to come out this season and hope it sticks...it doesn’t hurt that the women on the show are knockouts.
I hope Life continues... fun premise (conspiracy) that keeps you interested even if the show plot isn’t as strong as you’d hope. And the rapport on the show gets better each week.
I can see why they are hurting. The only program I would even consider watching on NBC is Sunday Night Football.
I watch Journeyman because I love the lead actor, who was simply brilliant in the HBO series "Rome"--which if you haven't seen I strongly recommend you rent it.
Heroes lost me after about 6 episodes, when I realized it would just become pointless like “Lost” and “Twin Peaks” before it. The one thing I will dearly miss is “The Office”—the only show I watch every week.
