I posted this in the Friday Night Lights Thread, but NBC posted up their spring schedule.
NBC ANNOUNCES SCHEDULE FOR JANUARY 2009 WITH PREMIERES OF NEW SERIES, ORIGINAL MOVIE EVENT, RETURN OF SERIES FAVORITES
My dear god. You look at their spring schedule and you realize why NBC is in the crapper. Law & Order will air Tuesday and repeats on Wednesday? And then two more SVU repeats on Saturday? So SVU occupies four hours a week on NBC's plan.
Jeezus. I mean, and I like that show, but NBC might as well be TNT. When Fox first came on the air in the eighties, I remember people commenting on how little programming they had. Boo-hoo this. Parker Lewis Can't Lose. Cheap sitcoms. Boo-hoo. Hell, NBC isn't even within spitting distance of those broadcast standards it appears through an entire quarter. And they gripe about revenues being down.
We see earlier Fox dropped Saturday morning programming. NBC and ABC did that some time ago. Where is original programming going/coming from? Hell, even weekly "semi-news" programming would be better then this dreck.
Major networks are boo-hooing about the loss of ad revenue, but seriously, would you advertise on 1/2 of this? "Oh, I want commercial time in the fourth repeat of SVU this week?" Please. The best you can get for that is basic cable ad revenue.
Weekly movies? Airing something, anything that would put that forward? Nope. Hell, even cheap sitcoms that might catch on? Nope. We'll give you tons of hours of the same thing, repeated repeated repeated, and then we'll follow it up with a knock off of a dancing show on another network.
Whether it works or not, at least kudos to Fox for trying some new, original programming this year that isn't all reality or contest shows.
