Earl is good, but my favorite is the office. Looks like Thursday night could be pretty good.

Not necessarily- although Friends is the most famous example.

I always thought the apartments in Seinfeld were reasonable. They actually look like real Manhattan apartments.

90210 syndrome.

As for friends, Ross' place was smaller and Chandler had a high paying executive job. On top of the apartment, when it came time for the wedding it became known he had also managed to save about twenty grand. So the facts are there people would just rather nitpick about it.

Word.

9-10 p.m. "The Biggest Loser: Special Edition" (new title)

This is the show where they reward the folks who've gained the most weight...

All I want is my Scrubs back, so I am pleased.

Yes, glad they moved The Office WITH My Name Is Earl. I was worried they'd split them up, they work well together IMHO.

Holy crap; I thought about that desert/buffet metaphor in my head too!! What the hell is going on?!

Finally NBC is growing some balls and moving Earl/Office to the night where it belongs. Throw the full hour of scrubs in there too and I wouldn't get up from the couch all night... I'd just pee on the rug!

They should have but the back-to-back episodes of Scrubs on Thursday night with Earl and The Office. Now that would be a night of Must See TV. Two episodes of Scrubs a week is awesome though.

Regarding the Apprentice, I read yesterday that Seaosn 5 will air sometime in early-mid 2006, and then Season 6 will be on the fall schedule. Additionally, Season 6 is going to be based in L.A. instead of NYC.

Office and Earl on Thursday night certainly brings back the "must watch" aspect to Thursday.

But they put it up against Everwood! And if there is a time where I cannot tape one and watch the other, and must choose one to tape, it will be Everwood, since it looks like those will take the next twenty years to get to DVD.

All NBC needs to do is buy Arrested Development and slide it right into Will and Grace's spot next year... AD/Earl/The Office? Sounds like Thursday night comedy gold for NBC once again (maybe even throw in Scrubs)

Come on NBC, COME ON!

Scrubs !!!!!!

If you like the color purple, you'll want to hold your breath for that to happen.

Scrubs Book of Daniel looks absolutely awful, they had a preview on it a couple days ago and it looks stupid.. but of course people probably are going to watch it.

And if 4 Kings doesn't work out, I'm thinking they could either move one episode of Scrubs to Thursday, which would totally rock, or they could plug Joey back in, which I still like and find kinda funny.

Yay, 2 Scrubs! Wish they had em on 2 different nights, but I guess it don't matter since I will be PVR'ing them anyway. The icing on the cake would be for NBC to pickup Arrested Development and pair it with Scrubs!

Oh, goody, My Name Is Earl up againt the most popular show on television, C.S.I. Vegas.

I guess I need to get another ReplayTV...

IS TOO SEXY!

Book of Daniel seems like 7th Heaven meets Joan of Arcadia to me, although perhaps slightly edgier than either of those shows.

I wouldn't mind a Joey/Scrubs/Earl/Office lineup (since the AD thing just ain't gonna happen). I hate Will & Grace and the 4 Kings previews haven't really wowed me.

Follow-up on Amazing Race. Looks like CBS is holding the next edition until March so they can test something else in the slot in January and because the Winter Olympics is on in Feb.

This is W&G's last season isn't it? I think next season we'll probably have that lineup. I don't know how Joey's doing if it'll be back or not.

Is this the first of the two seasons Scrubs got renewed for or the second? If it's the second, I'd be shocked to see it return. I don't want to be a downer, but you don't shelve a show like that if you're in the place NBC is in unless you have given up on it.

I really don't know. In my optomistic mind, they only shelved Scrubs because they wanted to give both Earl and The Office a chance, but didn't expect them both to be picked up. That's why they waited so long to start Scrubs and that's why we get 2 eps a night. I'm no expert though. I wouldn't be surprised if this is its last season either.

It isn't as though NBC had such a wonderful schedule set up that they couldn't squeeze Scrubs in. They bought a bunch of garbage for this season and are lousy with lousy reality fare on the schedule. That is why I'm so pessimistic about the future of the show. If it were an asset, they could have carved out a place for it on the schedule.
