BURBANK - December 1, 2005 - NBC adjusts its mid-season program lineup beginning the week of January 2 as the hit freshman comedy "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office" move to Thursdays to join a new two-hour comedy block that includes the new comedy "Four Kings" and "Will & Grace." In addition, the new limited drama series "The Book of Daniel" will premiere, "Scrubs" will return to Tuesdays and the "The Biggest Loser" will come back as a series of themed specials titled "The Biggest Loser: Special Edition."

 

Thursday nights will return to NBC's storied comedy roots starting on January 5 with an 8-10 p.m. (ET) block that includes "Will & Grace," "Four Kings," "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office."

NBC looks to be fucking around with Success by moving Earl and over exposing the modest hit "The Biggest loser"

Is this the end of Joey, then?

Joey and the Apprentice are coming back after the Olympics.

Fear Factor is also back, just now at 8 PM on Tuesdays.

 

I thought that POS show had been canceled.

In a sense, it's a return to the traditional "Must See TV" format. Not to mention that they're afraid that House will take some of their ratings share due to the return of 'American Idol'. So much so that they're willing to put it up against 'CSI'.

 

Bottom line, if 'Earl' manages to maintain the ratings level it's gotten on Tuesdays, then it's all good.

Will the shows be on in that order?

 

8pm eastern/7pm central seems pretty early for the 30 minute parade of gay sex and substance abuse jokes known as "Will and Grace".

 

Plus my wife watches that crap, and we're already watching "Smallville," "Everybody Hates Chris", and "Alias" during that block of time. At least when it was on at 8:30, we could set up to tape it after "Chris" was over.

There's not much of a difference between 8:30 and 8:00 in the eyes of the PTC, so it's all good, or at least the same.

 

Personally, I dig W&G and will stop watching (or at most start downloading) Everybody Loves Christ to watch it.

Four Kings promo i saw looked watchable.

Is that show on PAX?

Al Jazeera actually.

Just like Last Comic Standing.

I think thats a good move, since Earl and Office went up against House and I would end up taping House

Dump Will and Grace, and make Scrubs the 7:00 show.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

MNIE wont do well at 9 pm on Thursday although I figure it will do well enough to avoid getting canceled.

 

But at least I have a dual tuner tivo to record CSI and MNIE at the same time.

 

Personally, with NBC..I cant wait for their midseason show "Heist" to start. Its a combo of Oceans 11, 24 and Prison Break being billed as a dramedy...its about a group of jewel thieves who plan to rob 3 jewelry stores on Rodeo Drive at the same time on the day of the Oscars. It sounds awesome although I don't know where it fits in their schedule..

Why the hell would you do that, unless it's of out of personal preference? This is, almost guaranteed, the last season for W&G. It's been a consistent ratings grabber for years, is actually beating the program that acts as its lead-in (Joey), and chances are the 6.1 or so W&G has been averaging this year would be better than what Scrubs would score.

"I'll slap you both so hard you'll switch colors."

 

I need to get a black friend, solely because I could use that line.

Everybody Loves Christ to watch it.

Sounds like one of those fake joke shows on Family Guy. Christ says something whiny like Romano, the TV wife nags or insults him like the wife on ELR, pause, Christ punches her right in the mouth.

"I'm sorry, I don't speak Maid."

 

Jamie Pressley got all the best lines this week.

 

Catalina's bit about putting a nail in Earl's other hand and taking him to church was gold, also.

Meh. Unspectacular episode tonight.

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

I thought it was pretty funny. I laughed out loud twice. LOVED the bosses mug in prison!

[Guest El Satanico]

I loved it when Randy was scared by the wife getting out of the tanning bed and said "What is it".

 

I saw him thinking it was a time traveler or something.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

Only caught the last 10 minutes of it . . .

 

Whatdya want kid, an eel, snake, or worm?

I kept thinking to myself "how much food did Favreau eat?"

[treble 0]

'He uses so much toilet paper since he's full of crap! Yeth!'

[SuperJerk 0]

Not as funny as last week's, but still pretty good. The "World's Greatest Lover" coffee mug part was my favorite bit.

 

I just hope that this whole "hands of Karma" thing doesn't lead to Earl becoming a pro-active punisher of evil. That'd kill the show's appeal quick.

[Guest El Satanico]

That would make it big with the PAX crowd, and as seen they can be formidable when setting their minds on something.

Earl of Arcadia?

RUBBERBAND MAN!!!

The sight of Darnell pushing that cart around the office alone was worth it for me.

 

The mock-surprise look on Joy's face when Darnell discovered the severed toe was priceless.

Who knew Jaime Pressly could actually act?
