Leno does best right now on Tuesday and Wed, so I don't know that they would pick these two days to cut back on. When they first announced this, and explained their reasoning, I thought they would have been better off starting Leno as a once a week show. Then they could field almost a full slate of 10:00 pm shows, and plug extra Leno in whenever there was a weak performing show. That would allow them to keep developing 10:00 shows, but still have some inexpensive protection against the inevitable failures. But that would all seem like a demotion to Leno now, so I guess they can't do it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
