If the audience (ie. ad revenue) is there the show will live. Personally, I think Day One will do very well, and we'll be seeing more of it than the network is currently letting on!

BUT, despite 0 shelf life, reality brings the viewers to the show when it airs and is rich for advertiser fodder and incredibly cheap to create. It's like having a job that pays you $100 / hr for doing very little at all! Wouldn't you take that route if it were there?

The fan base has dropped and the NBC knows it. I doubt it will get picked up after this season. Maybe on Sy-fy ??? NBC may be loosing revenue on ad sales but that doesn't mean they're about to shut down. These cutbacks are show specific and I don't think this is going to be a trend across the board. (IMO) The broadcast networks need to consider that reality tv shows have 0 shelf life on Dvd and its tough to support the endless pharmaceutical ads that make up more than 50% of commercial face time. I certainly don't feel bad for NBC. They don't have long term faith in any of they're shows... The network seems to be run by the cast of 40 Rock. Heroes is on life support.
