Given NBC's regular season lineup, I won't be surprised to see America's Got Talent in it in the future. It held up pretty well opposite first runs from the other nets.

Despite ER's falling numbers over the past couple of years, it ranked 6th in terms of viewers and 5th in demos. That tells you NBC is in pretty bad shape.

That is the exact point that Marc and others have missed for years. They keep talking about ER's 'need to end in glory', but fail to see that NBC has needed ER because NBC has way too many continuing holes in their schedule.

But I'm going to argue that NBC can probably get near those numbers with another show that costs less. Therefore, ER would've still been able to end with some dignity.

Besides football, none of NBC's shows broke 10 million and only a few managed to break 8 million. NBC really has to analyze their show development.

The Debate Analysis is a one time thing, and SNL is done for them now. That leaves Law & Order: SVU and ER in their top 5. ER is done this year, so NBC is screwed next year unless they find a new hit show.

Law&Order: SVU, ER, and even SNL...the three oldest shows on NBC and they have the highest 3 viewer ratings. When Law&Order comes back it will, no doubt, be near the top of the NBC viewer pile as well. I find it rather mind boggling that people keep calling for these 'tired/old' shows to end when NBC has nothing to replace
