30 Rock isn't on hiatus until Spring.

It has at least a 2 month delay because of the SNL Update. Not sure when NBC is starting this year. The earliest airing may be in late October/early November...depending if they want sweeps #s or not.

NBC has until Friday to 'cancel' Medium (and Earl). So it won't be announced tomorrow by CBS.

Medium sure as HECK better be renewed! My entire family watches it! I LOVE that show. I will very upset if it's canceled.

And as for My Name is Earl, I'm very sad to see it go (if it is true). I have had trouble keeping up with it though.

well considering this was potentially the last season of L&O this year, I can't imagine that L&O will survive more than this next year on Friday nights. At least it pushes two shows I watch (that and Southland) to a day where there's nothing for me.

As for Earl, I hope it does come back. It's not the greatest comedy in the world, but now that they got back to the whole doing list items, it got much better this season.

Fixed

I hope Leno@10 fails miserably... but it prolly won't happen.

Actually, new episodes started about 5 weeks ago.

More notes:

Heroes will air 19 consecutive episodes
FNL will air in Summer of 2010 so they can air "all year long programming".

Even More Notes:

- CBS is likely to pick up Medium

Well, I always said I watch too much tv, so I guess this is a start.

I'm not even sure why they are bringing this show back. Just like Cupid at ABC- do they really think a show that failed once already will all of a sudden be successful?

[selfish]I for one am glad with this new schedule and the schedule of ABC & Fox. I was watching too much tv this past season and want to cut it down by at least 50%[/selfish]

Holy shit. Thats a horrible schedule. HORRIBLE.

Well I will be the first and probably only to say it. FUCK YOU NBC for canceling Knight Rider. But honestly, this schedule is nothing but shit. Chuck will be the only thing i will really watch.

I'll check out Community since it's on after The Office, and I'll probably take a look at Parenthood because of the cast. Other than that, I don't see any reason to watch NBC until the Olympics.

NBC either must be trying to ensure that Heroes doesn't survive next season (putting it against House, Dancing With the Stars, and Big Bang Theory/HIMYM) or they still think that Heroes can be a good lead-in (Studio 60, Black Donnellys, Journeyman, and My Own Worst Enemy say "Hi").

to Chuck coming back, but nine months is a long time and I'll miss having a Thanksgiving or Christmas episode

Trauma, Parenthood and Day One interest me.

No interest in Mercy. I'm already planning on checking out Alex O'Loughlin's 3 Rivers on CBS and don't need 5 Medical shows on my plate (including House, Grey's and Private Practice)

I love Southland and I'm crossing my fingers it does well in the fall with a fresh re-launch.

The one that I am most looking forward to is Parenthood, mainly because Ron Howard and Jason Katims are Producers.

Sucks that Chuck is delayed until 2010.

Also, NBC may extend Chuck more than 13 episodes.

I see Day One and keep thinking its that new Jack Black / Michael Cera movie coming out.

Sorry that Friday Night Lights is delayed for you NBC viewers until Summer 2010.

Thank God I have Directv. Only 5 more months!!

Is that for sure (Decemberish launch for FNL)? I will fine alternate means, again, to watch this.

I assume it would launch around October like last season, but we'll see.

I wonder if they will shoot both season back to back?

Wrong thread

+1

They did mention that would save on production costs. Plus, it's 26 episodes which is totally feasible to get completed from this summer until spring 2010.

The only thing is Jason Katims is going to be double-dipping as showrunner with this and Parenthood and I doubt he can oversee 26 episodes of FNL and 13 of Parenthood or whatever the final ep count will be.
