Members Rudolpho Meradi Posted May 25, 2007 Members Share Posted May 25, 2007 NBC Shakeup. Kevin Reilly replaced? So what do you think about this? Will it be positive or negative for NBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted May 25, 2007 Members Share Posted May 25, 2007 It still won't matter because they will be under the thumb of Jeff Zucker. It's just crazy that NBC is finishing behind FOX in the ratings. What's next, CW overtakes NBC too?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 25, 2007 Administrator Share Posted May 25, 2007 I like Kevin Reilly and he's brought some great shows to NBC: 30 Rock, FNL, The Office, My Name Is Earl and Heroes. And he fought for those shows to stay on air even though they had low ratings. I respect him a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R!ck Posted May 25, 2007 Members Share Posted May 25, 2007 Didn't he just sign a multi year contract in March? I hope this is true? Reilly has run NBC into the ground during the last 3 years. Does he really expect success with the new fall lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mitchapalooza Posted May 28, 2007 Members Share Posted May 28, 2007 If I had to choose between either Reilly or Zucker...i would have taken Reilly in a heartbeat. At least he sorta showed that he gave a little bit of a sh*t about NBC Daytime..unlike Zucker! But overall, Reilly has done a sh*tty job at NBC so this is a good move for them!

Administrator Toups Posted May 28, 2007 Administrator Share Posted May 28, 2007 I can see why people say Reilly's done a bad job at NBC - they're just looking at ratings. I think Reilly's done a fantastic job when it comes to putting out great shows. Stealing quotes from posters at Pifeedback: - "What he didn't give NBC in ratings, he gave them in class." - "Back in the day, NBC recovered under Tartikoff and Tonker. It recovered with quality programming which got a chance to find its audience." I feel the same way. Ben Silverman's an EP of The Office, so I hope he likes 30 Rock and MNIE too. All 3 are smart, non laugh track shows, single camera shows. I pray to god he likes Friday Night Lights too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted May 29, 2007 Administrator Share Posted May 29, 2007 No, it was Jeff "Sucks" Zucker aka Mr. Today Show aka the guy who gets promoted for being unsuccessful. http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/ne...presstour_x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted May 29, 2007 Members Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm glad NBC is making some changes. Hopefully, it will result in more quality programming. NBC went from being the #1 network in 2004 to the #4 network the last two years. It's hurting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 30, 2007 Administrator Share Posted May 30, 2007 That's what happens when Zucker didn't develop anything good when he knew Friends and Frasier was going off the air. It wasn't Kevin Reilly's fault he came into a bad situation. Reilly was slowly turning the network around in terms of adding quality shows. Reilly also help develop The Shield and Nip/Tuck when he was at F/X. In Reilly's first year, he fought keep The Office on the air. In Reilly's second year, he fought to get My Name Is Earl on the air and Deal or No Deal. In Reilly's third year, he put Heroes on the air. Like Stephen McPherson said, you can only ask to have one hit show a year. Reilly was a scapegoat. It's a shame. What scares be about Ben Silverman is that he is/has been involved with a lot of reality shows. Hopefully he'll bring more shows like The Office and Ugly Betty (He's an EP on both shows) and less reality shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted May 30, 2007 Members Share Posted May 30, 2007 And I think MNIE and DOND are awful. So, he was 2 for 2 with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
