It's far worse than that. Having worked in the industry, I can tell you authoritatively that everyone is way too nice. They act like New Yorkers, but they are supposed to be in LA. Los Angelinos would EAT those people.

Probably the greatest irony about the show is that NBC is undergoing a budget/ratings crisis and is planning on doubling the number of prime time game shows/reality television (like there's a difference) that they air over the next year.
In other words, a show about taking chances to produce quality television is endangered because it is a high quality show.
Hmm... on second thought, I take that back. It's not that high quality a show. But it's better than most of the other stuff on tv right now.
