It is not just inexpensive, but very popular, which seems to be reason enough to keep it on the air. I have seen some debate about breaking it up over two nights, but I think NBC is trying to stay with what works for them, rather than taking a risk that two 1 hours on two nights will be less popular than what they have now - plus it must be nice for them to have one night they don't really have to worry about. -- TV or Not TV ....
