You'd watch or not watch Conan based on the numbers displayed on your cable box? That's just silly. I'd watch Burn Notice even if it were on Oxygen. The yogurt product placement is already there!

Re: Conan Picks Networks and it's....TBS
I was a huge Conan fan and was fully prepared to support his new show, but now I see he's going to TBS. Leno just gained another follower after this disastrous blunder by Conan.

Re: Conan Picks Networks and it's....TBS
That crowd reaction is insane:

Re: Conan Picks Networks and it's....TBS
Whether I press "05" for NBC or "47" for TBS on my cable remote... I'm still pressing two buttons to watch Conan. Wow, such a difference (not).

Re: Conan Picks Networks and it's....TBS
I'm shocked that Conan would go back to TV at all, to be honest. Cable is a dying industry. It'll be around for years to come, no doubt about that, but eventually we'll all be watching video over the internet.
I guess he wanted the money. Can't blame him. |

Re: Conan Picks Networks and it's....TBS
I think it came down to two factors on O'Brien choosing TBS for his new 2300 hours ET show:
1) He doesn't force the Fox network to do the very expensive process of clearing time at 11:00 pm locally for the show for every Fox affiliate. People forget that in the spring of 1993, even with David Letterman's name recognition it took a LOT of convincing (and some arm-twisting!) by CBS to get most of its affiliates to carry The Late Show with David Letterman by the time that show premiered. 2) TBS is available in both standard definiition and high definition forms on satellite TV and most cable systems across the USA, which means most anyone with a cable subscription can see the show anyway. |

Lopez has fanboys?

The point is though, that even if Conan did bump him, or even got the network to fire him, you wouldn't hear a thing about it.

TBS does suck. Why couldn't it at least be TNT? I mean that station is at least a little bit more respectable. TBS is forever known to me as playing Saved by the Bell reruns.
It must have been a really good deal if he went to TBS. |

It's not like the two are mutually exclusive. Conan's show streamed on Hulu when he was on NBC. Lopez Tonight is available on the TBS site, albeit broken up into clips. So Conan, being on TBS, will be viewable on the internet as well, not to mention possibly VOD from various cable companies.

That's a good point. Since Conan now owns his show, he can basically do whatever he wants with it as long as he honors the five-year deal to broadcast it on TBS.
http://articles.latimes.com/2010/apr...an13-2010apr13 As part of his deal with Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting to host a late-night show on TBS, O'Brien will have ownership of the show. That will give him the potential to make a lot more money then if he were just a hired hand hosting a show owned by a network. O'Brien's deal is for five years. |

Looks like somebody tried to make a funny and was quickly shot down so had to go with hypothetical humor. Oh, and then threw in a mention of not caring even though he bothered to post in the thread. These scenarios always make me chuckle. |
Re: Conan Picks Networks and it's....TBS
He's being allowed to own this show and material, unlike just "working" for a show already owned by a network. So he can stand to make more money than had he stayed on The Tonight Show.
