Whats funny about NBC is that they have some of the best comedies ever (30 Rock, Office) they also have some wonderful dramas Friday night Lights… why can’t they get the rest of the schedule together? I don’t get them. This Jay Leno thing has to be a disaster.
They already have two hours a week of Biggest Loser and they got rid of Southland for this? Lame. Who cares about it? I’m sure a lot of people won’t :\
Maybe I am old and not in tune with the times, but another reality weight-loss show? Some say the webs are increasingly irrelevant as technology changes, but NBC is doing nothing to fight that perception. And cannibalizing everything on Bravo and Oxygen is no good either.
Doesn’t The Biggest Loser already take up 2 hours a week? why in god’s name do we need more of this reality crap? And its not going to be a ‘spinoff’ i bet. i think its going to be the same show with her as the host. NBC has grown embarassingly desperate.
Wow, I have to DVR Biggest Loser so I can fast forward thru Jillian’s parts – can’t imagine a whole show of her!
Wow you people really have to get over the “They killed [fill in the blank] for this”.
No they killed the show because it cost a BOAT load of money to produce and this type of show cost NADA and so does Leno.
Also didn’t TLC have a show like this already a few years back, someone went in and showed what the kid would look like if they didn’t change using software. They changed their diet and then reran the software to see the difference.
I like the idea of Jillian visiting the homes of former BL contestants who have put the weight back on. And Allison Sweeney is DEFINITELY not fat! She looks great!
Biggest Loser??? hm… nice name for the show.. lol! i am surprised how it can be so popular with such a name??
FUNNY THAT ALL YOU PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY GOT TO THIS BLOG BY READING ABOUT THE BIGGEST LOSER BUT CLAIM THAT YOU ARE NOT FANS OF THE SHOW……DON’T WATCH, AND DON’T TALK ABOUT IT THEN…..START A BLOG ABOUT LOSING SOUTHLAND, WHATEVER THAT IS……
