Tylenol – NBC….hmmm let us see….
And the Prize goes to Tylenol…still world famous for managing a crisis they did not create.
But wow over at NBC. Yikes. They create their own crisis and then drag their assets through the mud. Leno, The Man, The Star, The Hood Ornament – Johnny’s Successor. First, instead of moving his show, cause we’re all finding it harder to stay up late….they re-invent it. Leave it you dorks – it was an institution. Have you learned nothing from the TIVO? Time Shift. It works. Instead, these geniuses promissed a new show, a new format – well the chairs were different, and he didn’t sit behind a desk. Other than that....new? We enjoyed him, his humour, the format ….just we get tired earlier. Don’t agree? How many people say they like Colbert better than Stewart, but can’t make it the extra half hour? Ah ha!
So instead of NBC saying – “oops we goofed” and then picking a back room target, off camera, and punching him in the head before he saw it coming…which is normal style for corporate gamesmanship…they publicly humiliate all three, as well as themselves. Three living assets that are built on ego – have the camera and at least some – heart of the nation. NBC just throws ‘em all in the mud, and then jumps right in with them. Talk about care and feeding of the corporate assets. Who are these leaders, the business wizards, these spin masters? Bet ya’ Michael Eisner is look’n good now.
And they say Madmen is a neat behind the scenes view of craziness. This is so much better…out front stupidity.
And for those of us that are old enough...remember the Network battle with Smothers Brothers...sounds so much alike. And golly gosh I think it was NBC.....ah ha.
Please let this side-show run longer...it's got so much - comedy, tragedy, sorrow, perspective, bravado...even an insight into income, contract law and oh the leadership skills....and the stupidity of a Network Executive to try and enter any battle with the guy, no guys - there's three of 'em, anyhow back to the dummy Executive - he's fighting with three guys that have a live microphone to the public's ear....so who's going to win....money or shame?
Oh and the bright "exec" ....he gave them the mic and left it on during battle...now that one has to remind you of Regan when he did the sound-check directing...."bomb the _astards".
