If you have even been near the internet recently, you know about the big battle going on with NBC and Jay Leno. The atrocity that is The Jay Leno show isn't even getting 2 million viewers these days, so NBC decided that, effictive this Spring, Jay Leno runs a 30 minute show at 10:30 PM. So the big question is this: whydid it all go wrong?
Simply put, it's hard to watch a show 5 times a week at 10. The kids are likely to still be up and there's much better shows on like Fringe and 30 Rock you'll want to watch on your Tivo.
If Jay Leno had kept himself once a week, he'd probably still be a hit. Right now though, he's derided by his critics and a ratings disaster. NBC, it's time to quite on Jay Leno. Time to move on.
Come February, we'll see if it was time slot problems that hurt the show or Jay himself.
