all i know is that when Letterman retires, late night is dead to me.

Please Letterman stay for another 15 years.

i wonder how long it will be before someone berates you for not using the search function.

seriously--i don't know man. shows just are not given time to marinate in people's consciousness anymore. conan's humor is not something most people get right away. needs time to grow on people.

if nbc had this same philosophy years ago, cheers and seinfeld would have been canceled before the end of their first season.

Seinfeld was on its way to being canceled. The only thing that saved them was that once the cancelled rumors started to swirl, they quit being so conservative and David and Co. began writing whatever they wanted to into the show since they thought the show wasn't going to last anyway.
