Good news: NBC is shuffling its schedules and its Thursday night line-up is going to include both 30 Rock and a new series of Scrubs. The bad news is those two shows are in the 9pm slot, which pits them against Grey’s Anatomy and CSI.
I can hear a death knell sounding right now.
In the US: CBS, Tuesdays, 10pm ET/PT. Starts September 19th.
In the UK: Acquired by ITV for ITV4 for 2007; Hallmark has second-run rights
Heat: The Series. Sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it? Well, maybe not, but in the right hands it could be. Are the hands of John Wells, the man who largely messed up The West Wing post-Sorkin, the hands that could take Michael Mann’s classic and turn it into quality television drama?
Surprisingly, almost.
TV Guide‘s Ask Auriello column has a few interesting bits of news for fans of the big US TV shows. There be spoilers in them there hills, so I’ve distilled the most interesting, non-spoiling news out for you:
There’s other spoiling news about House, 24 and a few other shows you might watch, but I will say no more.
That’s what he reckons anyway. He wants to do more movies.
…post it to YouTube. Nobody’s Watching is from the writers of Family Guy and Scrubs. It didn’t get picked up by the US networks, probably because The WB got merged with UPN into The CW and there were enough shows to go around already at that point. But they’ve posted the whole thing to YouTube anyway so you can watch the unaired pilot. It’s in three chunks, because of YouTube’s 10 minute video limit, but it’s watchable all the same.
