Scroby Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 For Scroby: Thank you but I actually wanted one for 20 good years. Barron, I'm calling you out, next week your ass is mine!
SuperJerk Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I had some problems with the opening bit (allusion to Mary Tyler Moore- wtf?), and I thought it tailed off a bit at the end, but I enjoyed it. I thought they were ribbing Marlo Thomas and "That Girl"....which is even sadder, actually. I didn't watch "20 Good Years," but if there was something funny in it, they certainly didn't put it in the commercials. I mean...jokes about berets and button fly jeans? Was the script written in 1989?
treble Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 Didn't really like either of these shows, but I'll probably give them another week. Pilots usually suck, I find, anyway.
King Kamala Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 30 Rock sucked I thought, Baldwin and Tracy Morgan were OK but they've done a lot better.
naiwf Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 I'll guess both shows dip a point next week (the overly hyped The Nine lost almost 2 points from its premiere last week to this one) and get the axe by January 1st. NBC's "30 Rock," 3.9/6, and "Twenty Good Years," both fell significantly in their second week. Good Lord, I thought they'd drop but not THAT low this quickly. The same site had 30 Rock at 5.5/9 and 20 Good Years at 4.7/7 last week.
Downhome Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 I thought the second episode of 30 Rock was quite a bit better than the pilot, so I'll stick with it. If they continue in this direction, I could see the show ending up lasting. The just need to get through this introduction stage. I haven't watched the second episode of Twenty Good Years yet, but meh, I doubt that one will ever get any better.
bob_barron Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 Really enjoyed last night's show. Jane Krasinski sucks and the twists were obvious, but Alec Baldwin continues to bring the good stuff
Dr. Zaius Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Jane Krasinski sucks and the twists I'm sorry...I zoned out there for a second. What were you saying?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 30 Rock is getting moved next month to after the Office on Thursdays. Scrubs will air afterwards leading in to ER. 2 hour comedy block..or..not.. 20 Good Years is officially dead in the water without an official timeslot after the move.

MDH257 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Actually, Scrubs will be on after The Office and 30 Rock will lead into ER.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Actually, Scrubs will be on after The Office and 30 Rock will lead into ER. Thats not what I saw and it doesnt make any sense, but its NBC..so its probably not supposed to make sense.
slimm44 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 Most credible source I found at zap2it.com LOS ANGELES -- Old is the new new at NBC. Starting Nov. 30, the network will bring back the Thursday comedy block that was an NBC staple for some 20 years before this season. "Scrubs" will come off the bench to start its sixth season that night, and "30 Rock" will move over from Wednesdays to join "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office." NBC will also air super-sized episodes of "Earl," "The Office" and "30 Rock" on Nov. 16 before launching the full new lineup at the end of the month (the Thursday in between is Thanksgiving). The change spells the end for the Thursday edition of "Deal or No Deal," and "Twenty Good Years," which had been paired with "30 Rock" on Wednesdays, appears to be done as well. "We are excited about the prospect of two-hours of top-notch comedy on Thursday nights, which includes the return of 'Scrubs,'" NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly says. "We will stay on-brand with the best comedy block on television, which will position us for the future on the night." The four comedies will try to keep NBC in the game on a night dominated by CBS and the newly potent ABC. "Scrubs" and "30 Rock" will have the most daunting task, airing in the 9 p.m. ET hour opposite the top two shows on TV so far this season, ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and CBS' "CSI." The move of "30 Rock" to Thursday will also force a change to NBC's Wednesday schedule. The network plans to feature specials in the 8 p.m. hour starting Nov. 22. Neither "30 Rock" (6.9 million viewers) nor "Twenty Good Years" (6.07 million) has fared too well so far, but critics have generally been kinder to the former show, which was created by and stars "Saturday Night Live" alum Tina Fey, and it's a better fit with the other single-camera comedies in the new block.
KingPK Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Posted October 26, 2006 *Gloats* I called this two months ago, in basically the same order as well.
Hawk 34 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 Maybe this is just me, but move FNL to the vacant spot on Wednesday where it could fare slightly better then it does on Tuesdays.
MDH257 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 BTW, can somebody explain what "Civil War: I'm with ..." is all about?
Downhome Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 20 Good Years is officially dead in the water without an official timeslot after the move. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/26/t...reut/index.html ..."Twenty Good Years," starring John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor, is being pulled off the schedule after a low-rated first two weeks. There are no immediate plans for a return of "Twenty Good Years" to the schedule. The comedy is in production on its 13-episode order and might come back in midseason. Good riddance. I think I'm right about 30 Rock though, and it's now on my must watch list and I'll stick with it to the end.
Dobbs 3K Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 I thought "20 Good Years" was pretty funny. I've enjoyed "30 Rock" so far...though I missed it this week. I loved the exchange Alec Baldwin had in the first episode with Tina Fey: "We're a big company...NBC, Universal, K-Mart..." "We own K-Mart now?" "No, so why are you dressing like we do?"
Hank Kingsley Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 iTunes is offering the episode "Blind Date" for free right now, so I checked it out. It's not bad, but probably not something I'd go out of my way to see. Being after Scrubs will probably help, though.
Guest Felonies! Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Like Supes said, it's a good show, but my viewing of it was predicated on its lead-in. This Earl/Office/Scrubs/30 Rock lineup is gonna be pretty great. Nice promo just now. The days of the multi-camera laughtrack sitcom are over.
Guest "Go, Mordecai!" Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 You struck gold on Gold Case! Good show. Weak link of the Thursday night block, and probably not something I'd watch if it didn't have Scrubs as a lead-in (which itself I got into because of The Office as a lead-in), but I still enjoy it. Tina Fey is cool. However, doesn't it bother you--though bother probably isn't the word I'm looking for--that Kenneth is like EXACTLY the same character as Johnny from Airplane?
treble Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Who has a picture of their Grandma's cousin beside their couch?
bob_barron Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...82615&st=30 Thought tonight's episode was pretty funny, since they kept Tracy in small doses
