Yes you are right about House; that and The Mentalist are the only 2 big dramas that I can think of that qualify. Heroes however is produced in-house so it's a perfect example, only Chuck and Community are not produced by NBC. Your post remains valid though, and the dilemma I see for NBC and her affiliates is that they have nothing to put at 10 pm that can even pull the numbers Leno was. They can move SVU to 10 but that only takes care of one out of the five nights. So to me it almost seems like Leno should have stayed until NBC was confident in 10 pm programming to replace him.
