NBC sure loves this show a lot more than viewers do. I know it’s cheap to make, but come on. At least they’re moving it mid-season.
Where are they moving it, and, more importantly, what are they replacing it with?
Chances are the ratings for “Rock Center” went up for one reason:
Hurricane Sandy.
I didn’t watch the show, but I suspect most (if not all) of the show was devoted to reports on the storm’s aftermath, although there may have also been a segment on the final days of the election campaign.
