Conan O'Brien Back On NBC?

Conan O'Brien is back on NBC. Sort of. From Conaco Productions comes the NBC drama series OUTLAW starring Jimmy Smits as former Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza who suddenly quits the bench to use his legal know how to create plenty of trouble for high powered interests who normally beat up little guys in court. Conan O'Brien and Jeffrey Ross are executives in Conaco, however aren't too likely to write or direct episodes. ANDY BARKER, P.I. was from the same Conaco Productions as well.

But a serious schedule problem for OUTLAW is the dead zone 10pm Friday night time slot. That's a really tough time spot right there, where many a good show can die from lack of viewers there. Jimmy Smits in an Emmy Award winning actor. But, can he do magic in this terrible time slot?

So, what does Conan O'Brien think about all of this. Does NBC suck as much today, or not?
