FYI - this "super-size" thing that NBC does is really just mostly a lark. Friends simply leaks over the 8:30p time slot b/c NBC has put more commericals in the show. When Scrubs comes on they usually have fewer ad minutes (and they also truncated the show's opening credit sequence). Basically advertisers will pay more $$$ to have their ad air during Friends so Friends get more commerical time. If any of those episodes were AT ALL expanded, it was for no more than a minute.

Great show though - could easily take over the Friends timeslot next season. (Though Michael Corvin, I *WILL* point out that they've had their own fair share of stunt casting - Ricky Schroder? Heather Locklear? Brendan Frasier?) I seriously doubt that Coupling will be able to be "toned down" enough to escape a 9-10pm airing.

I seriouisly doubt any new viewers will tune into Scrubs to catch Rick Shroeder or Benden Frasier. As for Heather Locklear I thought she was supposed to become a regular.

But getting people to tune in for W&G is a bit easier with names like Cher, Madonna and Matt Damon weekly.

Yes, Scrubs is awesome.. hope they don't screw with the chemistry too much. They f'd up the theme song at the beginning of last season, at least it is back to the original.

As for the time slot, hope they pick a spot and keep it there. Oh yeah, this isn't Faux!
