It raises one question I have been thinking about a bit: If the three talk shows consistently end up in a fairly tightly bunch group, with Leno around 3.1M, Kimmel around 3.0M and Dave around 2.9M (these are the numbers, based on my unreliable memory, for I think Kimmel's first night at 11:35 on Tuesday), would that really be bad for Dave? If one looks at the three main broadcast networks at 11:35 over recent history, I think one would find basically that same order (NBC, ABC, CBS), with occasional shifts. Would it make a big different if Dave is 3rd to two other talk shows rather than being 3rd to one talk show and one news show? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
