Although they’ve been moving to it for quite some time, by blatantly coming out and telling people they’re no longer going to program scripted dramas or sitcoms in the 8 p.m./7 p.m. Central time slot, NBC has really put it’s foot in its mouth.
And it’s a shame, too. With Heroes powering people to NBC, and a reinvigorated Thursday night comedy lineup consisting of My Name Is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock and Scrubs, as well as solid performers like Medium and Friday Night Lights, as well as promising newcomer Studio 60 on the docket, NBC has most of the pieces in place for a solid comeback against ABC, CBS and Fox.
After some humiliating seasons losing out to The WB and sometimes even UPN (which are now The CW), the Peacock is looking stronger than it has is some years. And they choose now to say, “we’re cutting jobs and budget?”
Idiots.
And that’s what this blog is all about. Hollywood idiots. Enjoy the ride!

Yeah I really enjoy watching “The Office”, and “30 Rock” but the 7 CST slot butts up against a show I like on ABC, “Ugly Betty”.
Aside from that, I don’t watch much tv, well…I don’t spend more than 2 hours a week at least…I do try to enjoy Late Night with Conan O’Bryan and arts or history programming on PBS whenever I can catch a break from working.

Eventually, at some point the moronic lack of scripts is going to swing the other way.
Hopefully sooner rather then later.
