Want a Job in TV?

Figure out the answer to this problem...there's millions waiting for the mind that does. I have an idea, but of course, if I told ya, I'd have to kill ya.

Speaking of innovations, check out our new addition to the links column: the most exhaustive video search engine I've ever stumbled upon: Videosurf

  3. this is probably all kinds of wrong but here it goes: Leno's move to Prime-time TV may cause a rising in numbers for NBC, but will that be enough to save the network from the bloody battle it will ensue come next fall? This fall, NBC left it up to shows like 'The Office', 'Heroes' and '30-rock' to bring in the bread, but since the creation on DVR and Tivo, these hits haven't been living up to their expectations on their designated broadcasting days.
    I think the answer to their problem is this: DESTROY THE "CHECKERBOARD"! Fight the power! Play shows randomly... therefore, people would have to watch their favorite networks all day, everyday waiting for their favorite shows to come on!= more viewers! It would also be impossible to record said shows because of the randomized order! Win win! (or it could totally backfire and no one would ever watch TV ever again… I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens, lol.)

  4. "Viewers...are recording programs at 8 and 9 p.m. and playing them back later in the evening, hurting the 10 p.m. hour. Of the 10 prime-time programs that gained the biggest audience from DVR usage this year, none were on at 10 p.m."

    Perhaps the more logical answer to this question would be to work around the schedule, instead of destroying it completely. NBC is competing with networks like Fox and CBS for their time in the prime-time spotlight. If say, NBC would move their shows to later in the evening (i.e. News @ 8 and prime-time shows at 9 and 10), viewers would be able to watch all of their favorites, on each different network instead of duking it out with their DVR, deciding which show, on which network, they would rather record.
