Something I've thought that the chowderheads at NBC might do is drop TTS 
to their 10:00 slot and move LNwDL to 11:30. The reason being that TTS is 
cheap as hell to produce and NBC (via the execs at GE) has been downsizing 
everything to obscurity.  Most of the stuff that Leno and Dave pull are 
WAY WAY less offensive than the stuff on late prime time. No violence 
(except for the occasional motorized hibatchi or crushed smurf), little 
sex (only inferred or refered to). Perfect fare for these overly moral 
times.  Maybe get a Tu-F TTS leaving Monday open for their Movie of the 
Week. It's not really a viable or even an attractive solution, but what 
can you expect from a group of idiots who threw away Saturday morning 
cartoons because they didn't think they were profitable enough. (And thus
gave up the children's market to Fox, CBS, and ABC).

Maybe their slogan should be "NBC-our panicked desparation is showing!"

Oh, and as a final remark, IMVHO NE is losing its touch. It was fun when
some of the characters were a little funky and it was only slightly preachy.
Now every time the DJ, Chris, starts ranting I start to gag and begin to 
wonder if the football game is over on ABC (hmmm.. it isn't! <Click>!)
Send all flames for this one comment to me via email. I don't want a Rush 
of rash postings about NE....
