   Robert’s chances of DirecTV ignoring this are at 100%? Wow, he’s being really kind. I was thinking about 500% myself. Then again, DirecTV is paying $1 billion a year for the NFL Sunday Ticket package, so they’re used to throwing money around.

   Jon L, it appears to be, though I have not contacted NBC to verify it and its possible its completely outsourced even if it is. It’s pretty much a straight marketing feed: watch the show, watch on hulu, buy on iTunes, with some “save our show” mixed in.

   Yeah, Direct TV is really going to want to pick up a show that’s getting a .7 in the demo and less than 2 and a half million viewers.

    Will these twitty fans be soliciting donations, a la the “Moonlight” crew? ‘Cause I’ve got 12 cents and a Burger King crown. I figure that ought to be enough to save it, right? It’s twice as much as the show is worth.

    It would be kinda funny if the DirecTV twitter feed blocked the Kings feed. Though I suppose they wouldn’t do that…they do do business with NBC after all, buying FNL.

    This show costs 4 million dollars and episode. You know how much you would have to cut out so DirecTV would even be interested?
