It a V I
NEW YORK (AP) — Kelsey
Grammer tries the low-key ap
proach in lobbying for "Frasier” to
inherit the “Seinfeld” time slot.
Dignified, like you would expect
from psychologist Frasier Crane.
“I would like to move to
Thursday,” he says. “I’m not
pushing for it. But I think it
would be a wise decision.”
The executive producer of
“Just Shoot Me” lobbies with
sarcastic humor. Again, perfect
ly in keeping with the show he
helps create.
“Absolutely not,” Steven Lev
itan says. “We don’t want it. But
we should also point out at this
time that we also don’t want
$100 million.”
The three executive producers
of “Friends” quote a song, in uni
son. “Put us in, coach!” sing
Kevin Bright, David Crane and
Marta Kauffman.
Coach, in this case NBC pro
gramming chief Warren Little
field, will eventually put someone
in, probably announcing his deci
sion in May. It will end a television
guessing game already far more
important than it deserves to be.
Next year NBC will broadcast
something other than “Seinfeld”
on Thursday nights at 9 p.m.
Eastern time. Life will go on.
This certainly wasn’t always
the most important time slot in
television. In 1983, when CBS
ruled Thursday nights with such
fare as “Magnum, P.L,” NBC tele
vised “We Got It Made” at 9 p.m.
The show, about two Manhattan
bachelors with a comely house
keeper, was declared the year’s
"absolutely, positively unchal
lenged worst new show” by one
critic and didn’t even make it
through theTVseaso
The next year NBC
move a struggling cor
a Boston bar into thei]
"Cheers,” with
help of “Cosby’’ and j
Blues,” turned Thu
NBC’s night, a position!
this day even thoughjj
same shows are on.
In that time, also,I
sion business has
many changes thats
aggerate the importaj

NBC has used itsd
Thursday shows —]
“Seinfeld” and
