Comments on: NBC's Up All Night gets more episodes, is changing completely (again) http://boingboing.net/2012/10/29/nbc-up-all-night-changes.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Fri, 24 May 2013 05:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Senor Schaffer http://boingboing.net/2012/10/29/nbc-up-all-night-changes.html#comment-1568681 Senor Schaffer Tue, 30 Oct 2012 02:26:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=190619#comment-1568681 The NBC suits are a bunch of dipshits. They had the only night of network television that I would actually watch and they screwed it all to hell. On the upside I play more boardgames with the missus on Thursdays.  The NBC suits are a bunch of dipshits.

I love Up All Night, but I don't know if I'd like it as much on a set with people laughing at it while I'm watching.  That is highly disappointing to me.

Besides, perception is reality with these kinds of things. I know my BB popularity shot up when I added a "like track" to let people know when it was appropriate to applaud what I'd said.
