I am happy to stand in line to take a dump on Zucker at this point, but in
this case I will try to defend him. I think this is pretty much the best
that could be expected from him - and I thought there was a good chance it
would be worse. This looks like the 5 Leno hours are being replaced by
Parenthood and Friday Night Lights (which allows them to move L&O to 10:00
on Monday a new of 2 "new" scripted hours of drama), the new Seinfeld Show
(which does not appeal to me, but must be a step up from most Reality
Shows), and extra hour of Dateline and a rerun of SVU (which allows them to
push new SVU episodes to 10:00 on Wed). I don't know what "Who Do You Thnk
You Are?" is, sounds like a Reality Show, but it is only for 2 months till
they get to FNL.

Perhaps we could have hoped they would have taken one of their cable shows
to NBC @ 10:00 instead of the extra RR of SVU or the Reality Show, but I
know some were predicting 2 or 3 more hours of  cheapo Reality and/or an
additional extra hour of Dateline.

I will record L&O on Monday and that is about it (unless I hear irristiable
buzz about Parenthood), but that would be one more hour of NBC at 10:00 than
I currently watch.

The real bad news in this line-up for NBC is the inevitable but still
catastrophic good bye to the NFL on Sunday night. I have never seen or
understood the appeal of Trump or his horrible show - does it pull in close
to SNF ratings (which was almost always the top rated program of the Fall)?
