>on which NBC bet it's prestige future

My recollection is that NBC didn't really bet anything on it, and signaled very early on that they'd given up on it. they did no promo, and cancelled it almost immediately. If they wanted to have a prestige future they should have alt least tried a little bit.

Well the president of NBC at the time did. She championed the deal at NBC, gave them the budget they needed and was going to put them in the coveted Thursday night ER spot.

Then she was unceremoniously fired, the network dropped all marketing for the show, and moved it to Sunday nights, which was basically the worst night for prime time network TV viewings (which is hilarious considering now that’s HBO’s big night for their prestigious shows).
