NBC Fall Premiere Dates
As far as new shows goes, Bionic Woman is the only one that I'm really looking forward to. There is some news in TV Guide that Isaiah Washington has signed on for a 5-episode guest appearance on it.

Anyone know if Las Vegas is having another abbreviated season?

Gary Scott Thompson said in an NBC blog after season 4 concluded that this will be a full 22 episode season.

Poor Scrubs (Still my favorite show) gets the latest premiere date. I understand why, because Scrubs 7th & final season will only have 18 episodes. I have a feeling that The Office is too blame because this season they are having 30 episodes with 5 of the episodes being 1 hour.
So far I'll be watching The Biggest Loser, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Las Vegas, & the greatest lineup currently on television- My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, Scrubs & ER.
Good to hear that we won't get another 17 episode season & hopefully the fifth season will be like seasons 1 & 2, or 3. The fourth season was Las Vegas's weakest. It's going to be intresting too see how they are going to bring Tom Selleck onto the show.

Considering that Tom Selleck is probably a better actor in terms of carrying a tv show, it makes sense in doing a full season.

NBC tried to KILL Las Vegas for whatever reason and it just hung in there strong and continued its ratings. Never to be considered amongst the best shows on television, but it is always breezy fun and interesting.

'Office' Hours Coming Early
NBC frontloads longer episodes at start of season
By Rick Porter
July 17, 2007
Remember all those hour-long "Office" episodes NBC promised for the 2007-08 season? Well, make sure you don't miss the first few weeks.
The network announced Monday that the comedy's season premiere on Thursday, Sept. 27 would be an hour long. Later in the day, though, executive producer Greg Daniels noted that the show would run long for its first four weeks, eating up four of the five extra half-hours NBC trumpeted as a rerun-busting strategy at May's upfronts.
"It was their request," Daniels says of the scheduling, which will pit "The Office" against the likes of "Grey's Anatomy" and "CSI" for a full hour at 9 p.m. ET. The longer episodes at the start of the season will also fill a hole in the schedule, as NBC won't premiere "The Office's" lead-out, "Scrubs," until Oct. 25.
At May's upfronts, NBC touted the extended order for "The Office" as part of a strategy to cut down on the number of repeats throughout the season. As things stand, though, the show will be in original episodes for 25 weeks of the season -- the same as last year.
Daniels also says Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam, is recovering from multiple fractures in her back -- which she suffered after falling at NBC's post-upfront party -- and should be able to work when "The Office" begins filming next month.
"I spoke to her this morning," he says. "She's getting better, walking around, exercising. ... We'll proabably take it a little easy on her in the beginning."

Well, she's only 23 years old and this is her 1st lead role in an American TV series. The previews I saw look really good. Also, there's a pretty badass fight with her and Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck from BSG) who will also be on this series.
