I like as well as the part of the old Leno show without guests. I miss him interviewing.

Or all it good to have him back to watch. This week I have been watching PBS at that time slot.

Conan I can't get used to. NBC or is it Comcast now, lost me as a viewer on late night.

I've only seen bits and pieces. It's not enough to hold my interest. I still say the show won't last. They needed to really do something different, and they aren't. It's the Tonight Show at 10, only incomplete.

I don't have hard numbers, but our NBC affiliate (WFIE-14) debuted a 9PM newscast on their 14.2 subchannel the week after Jay's new show premiered. If I had to guess, the news probably has a bigger audience. It's easily the best-produced of the three 9PM newscasts we now have to choose from.

The parts Ive seen are great though Ive only seen bits and peices, if he has more freedom, because its not a Corporate Signature Show, good things will happen I say. Less interviews and more comedy is good I say.

Some folks around the Internet this morning are insinuating that the ditching of Southland indicates that NBC is relatively pleased with Leno's performance. (I'm not so sure... I think it was just that the six episodes WB provided to NBC sucked so bad than NBC wisely decided to drop the show before the episodes aired. I guess we'll never know.)

I won't argue with that. I tried to get interested when Southland premiered last season, but I just couldn't make myself like it. Evidently I wasn't alone.

Aw dang. I actually liked Southland and was looking forward to the new season, although I'll admit it was dark and probably not appropriate to an earlier time slot. It's the kind of show I had to be in the mood to watch, but I liked the characters. (Well, some I really disliked but I liked how they were protrayed).

But to answer the original question, nah I haven't watched Leno's new show. I'd rather see a drama in that slot.

Jay Leno has overstayed his welcome on TV and it's time for him to GO HOME. Thanks to him and the incompetent network he's on, NBC now claims it has no room for adult, scripted drama. Unfortunately, "Southland" is the first casualty of the "Jay Leno Show". "Southland" was a well done, quality show, that got good reviews and was renewed for a second season after it's brief, seven episode first season last Spring. NBC renewed for a second season and the show shot six episodes, before the Nothing But Crap network decided that "Southland" was "too gritty" and "too dark" for 9 PM, and canceled the show before a single episode of the second season could even air. WTF? A) You knew what you were getting when you ordered it, you'd already aired seven episodes and B) Who's fault is it that you suddenly "have no room" for that kind of scripted drama? You put on that stale ******* Jay Leno on five ************ing nights a week at 10 PM, your NBC O&O and affiliate newscasts are suffering because they don't have a strong lead in and now "The Tonight Show" is suffering and by chain reaction so is "Late Night". Not to mention that now your other shows like Law & Order that used to be on at 10 PM are now suffering at 9 PM and other networks are airing shows like Criminal Minds (which someone labeled the "serial killer of the week show") on CBS at 9 PM and are doing just fine.

NBC has like, what? Two good shows on the air? "30 Rock", and for other people, "The Office". That's it. NBC and it's management are an utter unmitigated failure. Of course, someone like Bicker will blame the consumer, the public, or the weather instead....
