We've all heard the news about Jay Leno's upcoming new shows at 10 pm. We would appreciate it if LIFE's schedule isn't affected by Mr. Leno's move. Please don't aggravate the loyal fans of LIFE again by erratic scheduling days and times.

I totally agree....Keep LIFE on, just move it to the 9o'clock hour.
I have so few show on NBC that I can't miss, they are:Life, Chuck and
NCIS. Don't take my simple pleasures away.

Obviously, all of us who are in our right minds know we won't be watching NBC, at 10 O'Clock, every night, to be treated to a whole hour of boredom.
This is THE biggest programming blunder to happen to all Homes Using Televisions since television got invented.
Somebody powerful is stupid and is surrounded by butt-smootching "Yes-people" if not one NBC Exec couldn't see this train wreck getting ready to happen.

Appealing to NBC, to make a sound Programming decision, is like being out in the middle of the street and looking at a big house almost fully engulfed in flames, and yelling to the three NBC Programmers up on the roof to jump and save their lives.

Firemen are on the street below, holding a blanket for them to jump into.

The firemen yell to the guy who canceled My Own Worst Enemy, "Jump! Jump! It's your only chance to survive!"

The Exec jumps and SWISH! The firemen yank the blanket away. The guy slams into the sidewalk like a tomato. Dead.

"C'mon! Jump! You gotta jump!" say the firemen to the guy who preempted Life and put-on Rosie O'Donnell.

"Oh no! You're gonna pull the blanket away!" says the Exec.

"No! It's OK. We know you had to do it"

"OK," says the Exec, and jumps. SWISH! The firemen yank the blanket away, and the Exec is flattened on the pavement like a pancake.

Finally, the NBC Programming Head steps to the edge of the roof.

Again, the firemen yell, "Jump! You have to jump!"

"No way! You're just gonna pull the blanket away!" yelled the Programmer, "I saw you do it to the other guys"

"No! Really! You have to jump! We won't pull the blanket away!"

"Look," the Programmer says. "Nothing you say is gonna convince me that you're not gonna pull the blanket away! So what I want you to do is put the blanket down, and back away from it..."

I firmly agree!!!

Especially considering that they probably won't mention it at all (kind of like how they promote the show) and we will all tune in on a Wednesday night and it won't be there. Then we will all have to scramble to find out where the h3ll it went, only to find out it aired on Tuesday night (and got really low ratings because nobody knew to look for it).

Please leave Life on Wednesday nights - if you need to move it put it on at 8 on Wednesdays. And for the love of pete, promote the move - advertise it - something, anything!

I don't get NBC and these variety shows. Didn't they try to do Rosie O'Donnell a couple weeks ago? It went over like a lead balloon as does every variety show since the 70s. That's a dead format. Why do they keep trying to bring it back? I'm guessing they think Rosie was too controversial and maybe a bigger name with less controversy will make it successful. They'll find out though.

This idiot canceled a great show like Boomtown and now will follow up with Life. The great Tartikoff let a show get its legs and cared about the show and who watched it. ST. Elsewhere was the greatest show of its time and was always ratings challenged, but Brandon knew how great it was and knew that it had a core audience that were not CSI people and he made it last 6 years. Zucker cancels Boomtown which was way too intelligent for his taste and puts Deal on 5 nights a week. Now he put Jay on 5 nights a week. And they wonder why no one watches network TV. 18-35 have no money, yet they want their ratings. 35-54 have money and want to watch good stuff on TV and we get Jay. Good riddance to you Jeff Zucker you know nothing foof.

Yeah, I just want to add my voice to the chorus and say putting Leno on at 10/9 Central is a monumentally stupid idea and further evidence of how creatively bankrupt NBC. The only reason they're putting Leno on earlier is strictly money, not a deep love and respect for Leno's talents. It's cheaper to put Leno on 5 nights a week than produce 5 original one hour dramas, take the budget for a one hour show multiply it by 5 and 22 episodes and that's how much money NBC is saving. That's not to mention the hundreds of crew members, support staff, and working actors this puts out of a job. Really, Leno 5 nights a week earlier!?! Great, now I watch the ten year old Clinton sex scandal jokes earlier in the evening. Does anyone seriously think Jay Walking and Headlines are still funny? Leno's been phoning it in for years now. He's quickly becoming the show of choice for people who thought Tom Snyder was too edgy and controversial. Hey NBC I've got a tagline for The Jay Leno Show: Jay Leno, he beats having to do something original.

If the network wants to save money, they can always do re-runs of Life. I'm sure we'd all be in favor of that, right? Re-run Season 2 before and during the 2009 shows?

I loved it when they were running Life twice a week...

Please do not cancel Life. It is one of the best shows on TV! And for heaven's sake, do not move it around to different times and days as has happened with other shows, without sufficient advertisement, and correct listing in TV guides. There are plenty of people who want to watch it but will find it very difficult to do so if they do not know when it is on! I do not know how ratings polls are conducted, but in my 50+ years of watching TV I have never been contacted, nor do I know of anyone who has. Please do not cancel Life without doing a thorough poll. And remember that we cannot watch all of the shows we want to, so many of us record and watch at another time.

Usually I would be on the same bandwagon and worrying that Life was getting the axe at the end of this season but that speculation seems a bit premature to me....

1) Life is on at 9pm, not 10pm... so it wouldn't interfere with Leno's new show....

2) This is the first thing NBC has done in a long time that makes sense to me....
Monday at 10pm- Can't hold a show (not that I agree with any of the scheduling cuts they've done in the last 3 years, hello Studio 60 and MOWE were both shows that should have been given more time to succeed)
Tuesday at 10- Law & Order SVU (now where this one will go worries me)
Wednesday at 10- Law & Order (why is this still even on?)
Thursday at 10- ER (is in it's last season)
Friday at 10- hasn't had anything consistant that I know of in?????

So really it's a great decision on their part for guaranteed ratings on nights when they seem to have a hard time keeping a show around. And like I said, most importantly Life is on at 9pm... so unless they do something stupid like move L&O to 9pm instead of just letting go of it all together. I think Life is fine for now, as long as ratings hold or go up....

That's the point: we don't want them to do "something stupid". Leave Life as it is (just get rid of Tidwell!), where it is, and when it is...

Just didn't want this topic to get "lost" on the back pages!

I really really hope Life does not get moved around - I think that's what killed Firefly.
I also hope it doesn't get moved because I am telling all my friends about it and lending them
my DVD set of season one and telling them that IT'S ON WEDNESDAYS AT 9PM.

Hear that, NBC?
New viewers.
Fresh eyes.
Hint, hint, hint.

I don't think Life can get moved earlier than 9pm because of the grittiness and subject matter.
That's not a bad thing, though.

I'm hoping they eventually do a Law & Order cross-over, like the time Homicide and L&O partnered
on a story. I can just imagine Van Buren's reaction to Crews. (Yes, the original L&O is not bad this
year - the new detectives are helping it a lot.)

I love this show. I love this show. I have just recently discovered Life and have gone online and watched as many of the full episodes that I could find. I am an ER junkie and now I am completley addicted to this show, the characters, It is a winner and I am extremely picky about the shows I watch.

One more thought...

"Monk" was rejected by ABC and found a home on USA Network for 6 seasons with one more to go. Would it be so bad for the same fate to happen to LIFE? After all, USA's tag-line is "Characters welcome".

Or TNT. It would be a good pairing with The Closer.

It would be wise to keep one good show insdtead of putting us through five hours of horror, which the leno show will only be. Bad decision NBC.
