Also I don't think the show is going away - but wondering where it's future viewers will come from. I can't think of anybody in my generation watching it regularly.
The demographic is years away from dying. They should just ride that out.

Wish I'd seen this earlier - can relate with the morning shows being on all last week at home.

They do put Hannibal on the air, which still amazes me.

I just stuck that in my Netflix queue today. I didn't realize it was NBC.

It's a good thing I didn't know that before I committed to watching it, because I probably wouldn't have gone through with it if I had known it was an NBC show.
