Lately, the drama coming from the networks themselves is better than the drama TV shows that they produce.

Last year, the world was shaken to the core when FOX announced that Paula Abdul would not receive the raise that she asked for and would not return to American Idol.  OK, maybe shaken to the core was a bit of an exaggeration, but there were a few vibrations with die hard Paula fans.

When it was announced that Ellen Degeneres would be replacing Paula, the two stars started a public cat fight, OK so it wasn’t really a cat fight, but there were some playful jabs given by both.

Fast forward to just last week.  More drama at a different network.

Rumors were being slung around that The Jay Leno Show was being canceled.  The big jaw comedian, as David Letterman refers to him as, says that he even heard it on the radio while driving to the studio for a taping.

It turned out that Leno wasn’t canceled, but the network decided that putting a late night show on in any other time slot other than late night may have been the stupidest move in television history.

Their solution?  Put Leno back on at 11:35 with a half hour watered down version of his current show and move “The Tonight Show” to 12:05, which actually makes it the “Tomorrow Morning Show”.

This would push Jimmy Fallon’s “Late Show” into the 1am slot and move Carson Daley… well who cares where Carson Daley goes.

Conan, who had inherited The Tonight Show from Leno just a few short months ago would be giving up the time slot held by Leno, Johnny Carson, and that other guy that hosted it way back when for more than 137 years (another exageration in case you’re keeping score).

Since the moronic proposal was made by NBC execs, Leno and O’Brien have been using their nightly monologues to bash the situation.

Earlier this week, Leno said, “if we did get canceled, it would give us time to maybe do some traveling – I understand that Fox is beautiful this time of year.”

Since then, it seems that Leno is coming around.  That late night spot is sounding comfy cozy and that puts O’Brien in a bad spot.

Conan released a statement to the “People of the World” this week where he said that he would not follow Leno and participate in the “destruction” of the Tonight Show franchise.

Last night the host offered this advice to kids, “You can do anything you want, unless Jay Leno wants to do it too.”

Back to FOX.

American Idol is back for another season and just before its premiere, Simon Cowell announced he would not be returning to the show next year.  Instead, he will bring his British singing show “X-Factor” to the USA.  The X show is basically the same show as Idol, but Simon owns this one.

For the love of all that’s holy, I am begging the networks to continue this drama.  This is the best TV that I have seen in years and if things go back to normal it would be like my favorite show has been canceled.

Oh, about the title of this article.  Well, it was just a suggestion.
