Other than Parenthood, which I couldn't even tell you what night it is on, I can't think of another 10pm NBC show. But they're probably all legal/cop dramas, which viewers found on CBS & ABC during the Leno debacle and are now loyal to them.<br />If NBC wanted to attract viewers, they could go with a smart, edgy sci-fi drama in the 10pm slot to attract FOX's viewers who don't want local news at 10pm. Or how about a lavish, escapist soap?<br />As much as I enjoy Desperate Housewives, I yearn for the good old days of Dynasty, Falcon Crest, and Flamingo Road. <br />NBC should look at its sister network Bravo's Real Housewives to see that people love watching bigger than life rich women bickering and stabbing each other in the back.<br />Which, after reading the review of the first day of The Talk, is why that show (which I will never watch) is probably not going to resonate with viewers. I wouldn't want to see Sharon Osborne being bland and toned down. They need to out-spice The View, not out-nice it.Mo and The Purrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654573008006116939noreply@blogger.com
