Save The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch
Published December 9, 2008
Please bring "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" back to its regular schedule. I know the show is only on "hiatus" until the economy is better, but really, during economic times like these, we need Donny's positive, can-do teachings now more than ever. Please reconsider bringing this show back as soon as possible.

Dear CNBC Execs,
We are absolutely appalled that you have placed The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch on hiatus!
We've read the reasoning, and it doesn't hold water. According to Brian Steel, vice president of CNBC public relations, the reason is:
"Given current economic conditions the feeling was that now is not the right time to do a 'success' show five days a week".
If this is the case, then I suppose preachers should stop preaching and teachers should stop teaching, and we should all just give up on our dreams and goals in life due to the economy.
This is "not the right time to do a 'success' show"?!? What do you mean this is not the right time! We need a positive show like Donny's now more than ever BECAUSE of the current economic conditions.
When times get tough, the tough get going. That is what Donny's show teaches people on a nightly basis. That is what separates those who succeed from those who do not, and you of all people should know that. If anything, we need more shows like The Big Idea! We all know there is too much negative, poor-quality television programming on the air as it is.
Successful people, or people striving to be so, watch Donny's show. Successful people make more money, pay more taxes, and spend more money. Successful people are the ones who boost the economy. These are the people who watch The Big Idea and these are the same people you are disenfranchising. As viewers, we know what we need and what we want.
The Big Idea brings hope, inspires, and motivates young entrepreneurs and inventors to turn their dream into a business, a business which creates jobs. At a time when more jobs are exactly what would most benefit this country, how can you dare say this is not what we need at a time like this?
Please bring The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch back sooner than later!
Life has its ups and downs, the economy has twists and turns, there's ebb and there's flow, there's yin and there's yang. All of this will never change. What shows true strength, what builds real character, what makes one a winner, is to weather the storm, overcome adversity, and make a way when it seems like there isn't one. And Donny's show provided a roadmap to do just that five nights a week.
Bite me, you naysayers!
Bring Donny Back!!!
Vida and Chris
