And what do you think about NBC's taking away most of their drama series and giving all that time over to yet another comedy/talk show?

Thanks for feedback on this.

Oh dear.....I'm lame....not a fan of Jay Leno, so I will admit to not paying much attention to this. You mean NBC dumped ALL their weeknight 10 pm dramas for this? Blah!

Yes NBC dropped all their 10pm (9pm in my time zone) dramas Monday through Friday to show Jay. If this was on once a week I probably wouldn't care. I watched all of 2 seconds of it and was already over it. I didn't like him in his former time slot and I don't like him any better now. I'll find other shows to watch on other stations that are entertaining.

What 10 pm dramas did NBC dump for the new Jay Leno show?
I like Jay Leno but I think that one hour a night, five nights a week is way too much to take of anybody.
ITA - I do not like Conan O'Brien either.
I had enough trouble finding a decent program to watch Monday night between 8 pm and 10 pm (while waiting for the premier of Jay Leno.)
I hate to admit this but I ended up watching (or I should say "trying my best to stay awake through") "America's Got (Mostly NO) Talent"
Geesh - that is one of the lamest shows I've ever encountered! Thankfully, it's ending tonight until 'next season'

I actually really like Leno. Apart from Leno, O'Brien, and Fergusson, I don't like any of the other late night people.

I do NOT find Letterman to be funny AT ALL --- he used to be funny years ago, but his show is about as thrilling as watching the Antiques Road Show he is sooo dull and his jokes are really lackluster( the top 10 lists or whatever they're called suck and rarely get so much as a chuckle from me). Kimmel and Fallon are just plain annoying.

I end up watching a lot of PBS in the evenings now so I don't have to watch game shows or stuff like Jay Leno.

Finally, we got to Kanye. As I expected, he tried his best to look contrite. It was obvious, however, when Jay asked him - "What would your mother think / say" that Kanye was not going to answer that. He was so carefully coached / programmed to repeat the points his handlers gave him to attempt to gain audience support.
And, the segment with Jay talking over the Obama interview on 60 Minutes was just another silly skit.
And, for this, the viewers had to lose the good 10:00 PM shows like SVU, etc.

SVU didn't get the axe. They got ANOTHER show's 9PM slot and THAT show got dumped instead.

Both SVU and the original Law and Order are still goinhg to be on--Friday nights from 8-10PM (7-9 in my area.) And "Criminal Intent" I think will be repeated from the cable network on NBC on Saturday nights as they have been doing recently.

CausingChaos--hi--I watch mostly PBS and select the few network shows that I really want to watch.

And I agree with whoever said that "America's Got Talent" is lame. I stopped watching after the first season when I realized how much the results were manipulated by the producers.

That sucks! It totally conflicts with my shows, Monk and Psych. Thank goodness for DVRs.

I can't believe that NBC is airing Southland at 9:00. while it's an excellent show, it's pretty strong for a network so 10:00 is most definitely the timeslot for it - They will definitely have to pare it down for 9:00. I don't understand NBC's thinking here - Jay's just not that funny - not for a daily primetime slot and certainly not enough to change around shows to suit it.

I do know that shows like SVU and other 10:00 PM shows were retained, but moved to earlier timeslots in order to make room for Leno. While I'm glad that they were retained, I don't know that it's such a wise move to put those shows into earlier timeslots due to their nature.
I would hate to see some of them edited for the grittiness and realism that they bring but having to fit them into an earlier "family friendly timeframe.
