"Jay Leno is a helluva lot more annoying when you're still wide awake." - maybe this is why I've never warmed to Leno. As a night person, I'm generally wide awake when he's doing his monologue. - Andrew C

BTW, http://www.thrfeed.com/2009... - a scripted CABLE show beat Leno's ratings. - Andrew C

Good. Go away Jay Leno. NBC lost slots for keeping good dramas (*coughKingscough*) because of you. - Chieze Okoye

I haven't forced myself to watch his prime time vehicle yet... just watching the promos have convinced me that it's more of the same stuff that turned me off on his old show. The only thing that worries me is that if his show goes away, there will be even more Law & Order reruns filling their schedule. If it wasn't for Thursday nights (30 Rock, et al), I wouldn't watch NBC at all! - Mark "Godt Nyt Ǻr"

reading through that, I realized that I felt this coming. NBC, which used to be about good dramas, dropped at least 2 pretty good dramas in their infancy (Kings and My Own Worst Enemy). I watched a bit of Southland and thought it was ok, but after those other two were cancelled, I couldn't let myself get into another new NBC drama and sure enough, it has been cancelled. Now I've even lost my fervor for SVU (SVU!!) because of my general malaise towards NBC. Way to kill your brand, guys. - Chieze Okoye
