NBC Blinks, Caves to Self

Last week's announcement that NBC was foregoing scripted programs in the 8/7 c hour has already been kicked to the curb.

In a move that screams of kowtowing to critics, Jeff Zucker is re-racking Thursday nights into a rather pale imitation of Must See TV years of old.

Effective 11/30 your new Thursday night lineup will be:

700p Earl
730p The Office
800p Scrubs
830p 30 Rock
900p ER

At least until somebody complains....

Seems to me that Mr. Zucker's commitment to a sensible plan consists of licking his finger and holding into the air. If Jeffy knew what the hell he was doing, he'd LEAD and do what he thinks is best for NBC, regardless of critics' opinions.

Remember... fire Zucker, save the network.
