Oh, it could have been House. I don't watch it but my housemate does. I thought it was on Tuesdays, did it switch in January?
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It switched when SCC moved to Fridays in February or so. It may have been rerunning in that slot before SCC came back, though.

Chuck is on NBC in that time slot - maybe that was it?

It's always been there, though.

Okay, that makes sense since that means that Prison Break was at 9 pm in the fall after SCC.
Thank you people. We could not figure it out.

Yep, PB was at 9 in the fall.

I'm surprised I didn't really notice since I thought it was so weird that Prison Break would be an 8pm show in the first place. Don't get why Kings is at 8 either.

Just because Ian McShane is on doesn't mean it's not family friendly.
Kidding. But it'd be better for children to watch than Celebrity Apprentice, surely. If those are the choices, and on Sunday night on NBC, they pretty much are.
Why that should be I don't pretend to understand.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Office: I'm not sure I like the direction things are going. It's like this semi-realistic comedy is veering toward either reality or nighttime soap opera.
If they go toward reality, the season looks likely to end like the Mary Tyler Moore Show did, with only Dwight left. Nighttime soap opera could be more entertaining but would tread more worn ground than the show has so far.
Michael's story is more pathetic than funny. It isn't even funny in the poetic justice-like 9 to 5 way. Carrell did what he was asked to very well, and the way he fled the office when Charles figured things out was funny.
There might be comic potential in Charles's complete failure to understand the office's culture (Stanley as productivity czar?). And some episodes (Michael and Jan's dinner party) have had things to say without being funny. But at the moment, the show isn't using humor to say something -- which has been one of the show's strengths.

I gotta disagree. That Toby talking head where he said something (and sorry, but I forgot exactly what since I watched 30 Rock twice in a row immediately after) about how Michael may have been a trainwreck, but he certainly kept people's minds off of the mindblowing tedium of their jobs - that is the point, and that's why this arc is working for me. And it's too bad that I can't remember what it was he said because I think it is a great point and a great way to highlight the difference between the original series and the current one. I gotta love that Idris Elba is coming off as the heavy for doing nothing more than finally putting Michael in his place.
