NBC still has hopes of the "Jay Leno Show" turning around in the ratings. They have expectations that the ratings will soon turn around when repeats begin to be played on other networks.
A repeat of C.S.I. came to be discouraging for the NBC network and the "Jay Leno Show." The "Jay Leno Show's" numbers are still declining.
In the initial overnight ratings, Mr. Leno had only 4.6 million viewers, this was his lowest number yet for Monday nights.
Among the group that NBC had high hopes for viewers watching the show, it only scored a 1.3 rating. These viewers that they had hoped would be prospects for watching the show were between the age of 18-49 years of age. Before the season started NBC stated that a modest number of 1.5 would be acceptable.
The show is still facing its competition at this time, with sports including "Monday Night Football."
Hopefully things will turn around for Mr. Leno and the ratings that he is receiving. I personally don't see this happening any time soon. I am not at all impressed with the show.

The Jay Leno Show is causing a major affect on other shows that are aired on NBC according to the article, Debate Over Effects of Leno's Show, and this is not a good affect. The problem is due to the decision to move the show to primetime at 10 p.m.
When Law and Order was aired at 10 p.m. it landed first in the ratings, now that the show is aired at 9 p.m. it has been finishing in last place. Jimmy Fallon who has an act on late night on NBC is trailing Conan O'brien, whom is on CBS. Many other shows have suffered due to there time slots changing.
It is also affecting the local news. Late newscasts have suffered significant drops in the ratings.
The Jay Leno Show brings in about five million viewers a night. This might sound like a big number but compared to dramas, five million isn't enough. Most shows would end up being canceled. "NBC has said from the beginning that it could accept much lower ratings because of the enormous cost savings of Mr. Leno’s show versus expensive hour long scripted dramas."
"Utter disaster" is how some producers are characterizing the state of NBC.
How much The Jay Leno show has affected NBC is unbelievable. NBC spent so much money on promoting The Jay Leno show, I am wondering now if they are asking themselves, was it worth it?
