NBC's Deal to Vegas segue

N

Wow. NBC launched Las Vegas's move to Friday with a bang. Did you see it? Molly Sims came onto the set of Deal or No Deal at the end of the episode to escort Howie Mandel to the hotel in Las Vegas where he was to perform a comedy show. (pardon me for not knowing anything about Las Vegas. I've neverseen it) They delivered the first lines of the episode while the contestant from Friday night's "Deal" was still on stage, so you know it wasn't totally post-produced. Then the two arrived at the casino in the same attire they wore on the "Deal" set.

Very, very cool. Somebody had a really good idea and it was executed flawlessly.<P ID="signature">______________

I agree

I saw it and they're taking advantage of a hot show

to help an establish one in a new time slot.

I like the move for that reason.

I hardly followed the show on Mondays

and now with it being the lead in for Conviction

I think this is a great move by NBC.

No, I did not see that, but I wish I had! That's does sound real cool!
Looks like they're stealing from the David E. Kelley School of cross-promotion!!!
 
Smooth as a Vegas dancer to be sure.....

Now we shall see if the Peacock can followup by attracting viewers to the death-slot that is Friday night television......

How ironic that "conviction" uses the same set and same production crew as the failed but very viewable Law and Order:Trial By Jury

Ironic, hell; Dick Wolf has said that was one of his selling points to the network when he was trying to get "Conviction" on the air; they could re-use the sets.
 
A long time ago, and perhaps on another board out there, I DID say that cross promotion is another good way to do things when it comes to game shows.

As a die hard fan of gameshows, I'm pleased all options are being considered in maintaining game show content on NBC.

Thank-you NBC for keeping gameshows alive.

i forgot to display sarcasm mode. Given the fact that Fred Dalton Thompson has now appeared on the show, what are the odds that we will see more crossovers if this show lasts at least one full season......
