Will it work? Most likely, yes. Leno at 10:30 has been a hit in the Midwest; bumping it back to 10 (9 Central Time) will to all intents and purposes implement as well. Here's hoping, however, that Leno heeds the words of Elvis - a miniature less discourse (and a elfin more stand-up comedy) would be accurate him well.
Suffice it to imagine his superstar interviews aren't the intention most viewers strain in. If nothing else, the Leno get started makes the rise reveals intriguing once again, at least at NBC. Over the route of this season, it's already canceled 16 series, including the long-running "ER" and the much-anticipated, but low-rated "My Own Worst Enemy" as it attempts to sunny the palate for the different season. There are rumors that the well-known Thursday vespers comedy piece will disappear.
"My Name is Earl" has plummeted in the ratings, and its young partner, "Parks & Recreation" has attracted all of six million viewers so far. "Heroes," though in all probability returning, will most assuredly be lower back to 18 to 20 episodes. And at least three struggling series - "Chuck," "Life" and "Medium" - may die if only because of the notify beat squeeze.
No question how secured the schedule, NBC will no uncertainty contribute to back its buoyancy tryout, "Southland," which is on the extend on being a Top 20 show - this on a network that has but one - "The Office." The chance here is that NBC takes its sign from its more moneymaking contention - ABC and Fox - and opts for "no repeat" shorter seasons accorded to "Lost" and "24." Given the event that it has a c idiot divider for two truncated seasons (the Winter Olympics), it will in all likelihood opt for something with "Chuck," "Law & Order," "Southland," "Dateline" and a team inexperienced shows in the be captured and "Heroes," "Law & Order SVU," "Medium," "Dateline" and a span green shows in the spring.
It also has "The Biggest Loser" to sate in where needed. The Thursday sitcoms will most favoured reinforcement put for the healthy season. (Several Web sites disclose that Fox is prejudicial in "Earl," where intelligence would portray you it could be a breakout hit. NBC would never let that happen.) It will be gripping to pick up NBC's policy next Monday, but there is inauspicious to be much of an earthquake.
That presumably won't develop until fall, when the network meet will be searching for a quick fix for a blind spot "Tonight Show with Conan O' Brien." Perhaps that's the verifiable objective NBC retained Leno. It just might requirement him at 11:30 once again. 10:30 Central.
