Jeff Zucker's NBC Exit Deal
Destroy a network, get $30+ million. Makes sense...

Re: Jeff Zucker's NBC Exit Deal
Some of my favorite shows are on NBC
Chuck
FNL
Parenthood
Community
P&R
The Office
30 Rock
Ok, so it isn't a lot, but I would hate to lose those and have an onslaught of economically feasible reality shows, just so they can crack 13m viewers.
Change is evil. Go away change.

/\ Agreed. While its surprising to say this, NBC is probably my most-watched network. They air a lot of shitty shows, to be sure, but they do offer me the most programming.
Will continue to tune in for more seasons;
Chuck
Parenthood
Community
Parks & Recreation
The Office
30 Rock
Saturday Night Live
The Celebrity Apprentice
Cancelled, but not missed;
Heroes
#1 Network CBS? I don't watch anything on that network

Another source said four of the top players are all making a pitch for the top creative role.
They include Jeff Gaspin, currently NBC Universal Television Entertainment chairman; Bonnie Hammer, NBC Universal Cable Entertainment president; Lauren Zalaznick, president of NBC Universal women and lifestyle entertainment networks and Jeff Shell, Comcast's president of programming.

I don't watch much TV, but the shows I do watch or TV-on-DVD sets that I do buy are almost always NBC, USA, or HBO, and have been for about 20 years now.

I do watch a lot of NBC:
Chuck
Parenthood
Community
Parks & Recreation
The Office
30 Rock
Friday Night Lights
If they could just stick with those, I'd be happy.

By the way, isn't this cockzucker the same guy who game millions to Jay Leno for his shitty show and helped Conan out of NBC? If so, good riddance.

Meh. I don't really watch network television shows that much anymore to be honest. Cable/premium cable is where the best shows are now days. Only shows I watch on NBC are Parenthood and I watch Chuck, but so far I've been watching that more on Blu-ray.

The other AMC drama is Mad Men. It's a little soap opera-ish, so it may not be your cup of tea, but it's very well-crafted and has a great cast.

Re: Jeff Zucker's NBC Exit Deal
Now that L&O has been cancelled, the only thing left I watch on NBC is The Office and 30R. But at least it's not FOX, where I watch zilch.

Scifi fans may hate Bonnie Hammer, but NBC execs lover her for what she did with the USA network: Hits like Burn Notice, In Plain Sight, Psyche, Royal Pains, and White Collar. Plus profitable ventures like picking up L&O:CI and, of course, wrestling.
