NBC needs a hit in the Fall

The dismal season for NBC is almost over. Executives at the network are banking at next year's slate of shows to boost ratings. Head Honcho Jeff Zucker tells BusinessWeek that they're “one breakout hit” away from being on top. But as even he admits, “Of course, breakout hits are harder to come by these days." Uh...yeah. Especially since the last two TV phenomenons, CSI and Desperate Housewives, have been on competing networks. NBC announces their fall line-up May 16. Let's hope there's no Phoebe planned for Thursday nights.
