PGage said: Enemy gets around 4.2 million at 10:00 on Mondays, so Leno is already coming close to that at 11:35. From what I can tell NBC is averaging around 7 million at the 10:00 hour M-F. Can Leno average 5.25 mil for the week? If a 10:00 Leno program costs less than 2/3 of a one hour drama, and gets 3/4 of the ratings, it seems like NBC will be ahead.
Karla replied: This is exactly right. I would have to guess that Leno would be much cheaper than a new scripted drama, but not a reality show. Since NBC hasn't had much luck in the reality genre, Leno is a better move. I could see this being one of those guest-driven-ratings issues, too--on the nights when he has, say, Britney Spears, his ratings are higher, and the nights he's got Don Rickles, not so much. Overall, he's got to get better ratings than much of their line-up, and at a cheaper price. Still, I hope he changes things up a bit....if he moves essentially the same show to 10pm, I'll be continuing to watch the fun reality stuff on Bravo or Olbermann on MSNBC. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
