TV goes from "Crap" to "Less Expensive Crap"
It was announced this week the NBC will be cutting 700 jobs in an effort to save money.NBC Universal will stop scheduling high-priced dramas and comedies during the 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. slot, The Wall Street Journal reported in advance of the announcement Thursday.
Jeff Zucker, chief executive of NBC Universal's television group, said he'll focus on cheaper programming.
Zucker told the newspaper that scripted shows cost too much given the lack of advertiser interest.
So, in other words, expect more mindturds like "Dancing with the Stars" to infiltrate your television. D-List celebrities everywhere, rejoice! I smell a comeback for Jonathon Taylor Thomas.
