Of course, this is subject to change since, last year, NBC announced their schedule and then changed it all up once the other networks announced their schedules.
Yahoo is reporting that The Office and My Name is Earl are going to have 30 and 28 episodes next season. I'm not sure how set in stone that is, but the article suggest they are adding more episodes to combat the problem with viewership dropping off duringthe hiatus.
Futon Critic is saying 25 eps of Earl:
The network has ordered 30 half-hours of the hit series "The Office," including five hour-long episodes, and also has increased the season order for "My Name Is Earl" to 25 episodes.
They're doing something similar with Heroes:
NBC "bulks up" with 30 combined episodes of "Heroes" and "Heroes: Origins," an innovative new spin-off that each week will introduce a new character -- one of whom will be chosen by viewers through the "Heroes" website on NBC.com to become a cast regular the following season.
They're doing something similar with Heroes:
I... what?
I will take it to the Heroes thread.
Why are they moving The Office to 9 PM? Whhhhyyy? It's doing fine where it is!
FNL is SO not a 10 PM show, it's not even funny. That's a godawful time slot.
I don't even watch FNL, and I think that is an awful timeslot! I am sort of glad The Office is at 9 pm IF Ugly Betty stays in the 8 pm timeslot. Takes away a bit of my Thursday Night jam-up.
My consternation about the move is mostly because 9PM has Grey's Anatomy and CSI, which are two biggest shows on TV. The rating's bound to drop after the move. Plus, there's Supernatural in that time slot, which I'd like to continue watching if possible, but not if they pit it against The Office. Bah.
Wow, none of the new show titles is doing a thing to get my attention. Well, BIONIC WOMAN maybe, but for the wrong reasons. And yet another season of ER? Isn't it about time to put it on the ice floe and push it out to sea?
One of the new shows has Adam Baldwin - I think it might be CHUCK.
Journeyman is the timetravelling show.
Life has Damien Lewis.
man, i hate it when the networks start mucking with timeslots that have been working. Thursday night tv is already overwhelming, but if The Office moves and all my other 8 pm shows stay where they are, i'm going to be annoyed.
friday nights for FNL is an awful timeslot. especially with Las Vegas as its lead-in because that show has been on its way out for at least a season and a half. UGH! they better not be setting up FNL for a fall.
