NBC Revamps Three Nights, Six Series
From TheFutonCritic.com
NBC's "The Apprentice" will trade one juggernaut for another as the Peacock announced yesterday plans to revamp three nights of its schedule as six of its series will changing time slots over the next two weeks.
"The Apprentice," which saw its adults 18-49 rating fall a whopping 52% against FOX's "American Idol" this past Wednesday, will move back to Thursdays, this time at 9:00/8:00c, beginning next week. The Donald Trump-hosted series fared better against CBS' "C.S.I.," beating the drama in the key demographic by 9% (10.2 vs. 9.3) last week. Encores of "The Apprentice" however will continue to run in the Wednesday, 8:00/7:00c hour.
The move will cause ripple effects throughout the Peacock's schedule as "Will & Grace" will move back to 8:30/7:30c on Thursdays while "Scrubs" will shift to Tuesdays at 9:30/8:30c. "Scrubs'" shift to Tuesdays will bump current Tuesday, 9:30/8:30c time slot holder "Happy Family" to 8:30/7:30c that night, while "Whoopi" will resume the lead off spot at 8:00/7:00c. "The Tracy Morgan Show," the odd show out in the equation, will move to Saturdays at 8:00/7:00c.

I didn't think Good Morning Miami was still on. I thought it had been on Hiatus since November. Last one I saw was the Thanksgiving episode. I was really enjoying it too. Oh well. Another show lost.

Excellent!! I enjoyed Whoopi at 8pm, Tracy Morgan was torture. Happy family was ok to watch after Whoopi and I can start watching that again.

Actually, as much as I hate NBC, Scrubs might do better following Frasier.
