Continuing TJ... ...which is why NBC should have found a way to keep both. They're trading in potential long-term return (i.e. younger viewers) for a short-term ratings boost (by pulling older viewers back in).
Eh, it's okay, Conan will land on another network in September and do fine I'm sure. There's enough viewers out there to support a third major player (and no I don't count the ABC guy - what's his name again? - in that list).

Conan never got the ratings and if it wasnt called the tonite show it would have gone the way of teh Chevy Chase Show and the andy richter show and all the other suck shows.Originally Posted by vt_maverick

...from the older generation that followed Leno. Someday Leno's viewers will be going to bed by 9 and NBC will need the younger audience, which is why I said Conan has long-term potential, not a short-term upside. IMO NBC's mistake wasn't in who they promoted, but when they chose to do it. Had NBC told Conan that he couldn't have the desk until Leno decided (on his own) to leave, one of two things would have happened. (1) Conan would have gotten impatient and decided to bolt to another network or (2) Conan would wait out the 5-10 years and become the king of late night after Leno and Letterman step down. Obviously the latter would have been the best option for everyone involved.
Conan's a good guy and a talented host, I just think his younger audience isn't as dependable right now as they would be in a few years. I know my wife and I watched Conan for years in high school and college, but work and taking care of a baby means we go to bed by 10 every night now. I suspect the same may be true for many of his other fans.

My better half has always wanted a Aztek.
Buy her the Aztek and maybe she will stop driving my VX.

All I can say is why did he do it?

My wife's grandma drives one....honestly it does grow on you. Her case is that she needed room and getting in and out was easier in the Az than a van or a car. If you built a shelf in the cargo area you could grow a garden with all the window coverage back there.

I will say an Aztek has a lot more headroom than a VX, a quality that is near and dear to my heart.

Those are mainly all I watch. Mostly the tv is just on for background while I"m playing puter games with headphones on lol. Any shows on other channels that I like to see I record on dvr and watch on weekends, can skip all the commercials that way. Remembered a couple weeks ago why I stopped watching comedy central at night. Girls gone wild commercials are freakin obnoxious and they have them EVERY commercial break.About the only thing I miss about broadcast TV is the nature/history/science shows
Back to the OP, I looked at that asstek vs vx poll and seems the large majority really like the vx at least. I would probably have a vx if they were available in 5 speed, or I had a garage where I could do a mua5 swap.
