Throughout 2015 and into 2016, the majority of the original programs produced for Esquire Network ended up being low-rated, with only the youth football reality series "Friday Night Tykes" and the network's Men in Blazers–produced live broadcasts of Pamplona's running of the bulls receiving any critical acclaim or notice, with the rest of its lineup being criticized for "copycat" formats of better programming found on other networks or produced independently for streaming video providers such as YouTube and Vimeo. The network stopped airing repeats of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" immediately upon his move to the higher-profile "Tonight Show", which NBC refused to dilute the value of with cable repeats.
