Buzzerblog is reporting that NBC is going to be putting TSB on the shelf because of low ratings. The planned episodes for next week and beyond are being replaced by 2 hour episodes of "The Biggest Loser".

It could be worse: they could be replacing it with Karn Feud.

I told you so, NBC. You should've only let this air in summertime.

Of course, because the Bandit is Supergod, Jr ©, and whatever he says goes!

Now, see, that can't be true, because if everything Bobby said went, NBC would have limited the show to the summer, all would be right with the world, and we'd all be holding hands and singing "Kumbaya."

Isn't it amazing?  He knows how NBC should program its schedule, he knew how CBS should have handled the Barker-to-Carey transition, and he knows every single Wheel of Fortune bonus puzzle that the contestants miss.  What doesn't he know?

Posting 101? Board etiquette?

Or, was that a rhetorical question? ;-)

Maybe they are holding the episodes for when the writers strike happens?
When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

So they can run them on huge monitors next to the picket line, in hopes of forcing a settlement?

It's too bad - I kind of like this show too.  I noticed they skipped an episode because the Halloween show featured a different returning champion.  I was hoping to see if they'd do anything for Christmas!

Oh well...it was nice while it lasted!
