Its not as long as the Flash Forward hiatus was but yeah NBC needs to tread lightly here. Why bother even coming close to repeating the same mistakes?

FlashForward's midseason hiatus was from December 3, 2009 to March 18, 2010

The Event's midseason hiatus is tentatively slated to go from November 29 (when show's already go on break) to February 28, 2011. The new show The Cape is going to fill in for the 8 weeks it's on hiatus in the new year.

Why the hell would they get rid of a show that does better than one of their other comedies and just about as good as the veterans? I believe, it's actually doing better than P&R did when it aired. And it's certainly doing the same/better than 30 Rock did when it first aired behind the office.

Was going back and forth on whether or not to give up on the Event, but the long hiatus has made my choice for me...

Probably. Damn, I'm gonna have to pick one of those to watch on-line. It's nice to have that option, but I'd rather not have to.

I'm not happy about the move for Parenthood. Great show but Castle and Hawaii 5-0 are two of my current favorites. That's a stacked time slot.

I still think Outsourced is very funny. Then again I think Kath and Kim was very underrated as well, and thought too many people bailed too early on that show as I thought it got funnier and better written as the season went on.

Doesn't that describe about a zillion sitcoms?
Expect a zillion more just like it, with the success of Modern Family.

30 Rock is in it's 5th Season, if it can't hold its own, it shouldn't be on the air (hence it being moved to 10pm to anchor that hour).

Mary Elizabeth Ellis (married to Charlie Day) from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Glad she's gotten a new show since she had such a limited character on Sunny. Too bad this looks like complete dreck though.

Early word on Perfect Couples is that it's crap.

All midseason is crap. NBC has no faith in any of those shows. That's why everything got a back order except outlaw and undercovers. I have a feeling none of the shows will make it to a second season.

The Office was mid-season - there's been plenty of good mid-season shows throughout the years.

The Cape looks good. But, considering it's a Super Hero themed show, people in this forum are probably going to tear it apart.

I hope Parks and Recreations gets a full season order next year and airs from Sept-May.
