NBC looks to resurrect Must-See TV with all HD lineup
NBC is shuffling its lineup and to make Thursday a "Must-see TV" night again, it is pairing two of our favorite HD comedies My Name is Earl and The Office, with returning -- and now HDTV-ready -- series Scrubs, and new show 30 Rock. There's also some show called E.R. at 10 p.m. but does anyone really watch that anymore? 30 Rock moves to Thursdays beginning November 16th as it joins with Earl and The Office in super-sized 40-minute episodes, but the block trule comes together on the 30th with the arrival of Scrubs in the 9 p.m. slot. That seems like a pretty powerful lineup to us, but it remains to be seen if easter eggs, emo hipster doctors and a british comedy transplant can bring back memories of the Seinfeld / Friends lineup of yesteryear.[Via TV Squad]
Jan 5: What's on HDTV today
What we're watching: It's a very very good night for HD, unless you're into sports, but seriously, I don't know if I'm recovered from THE VINCE YOUNG SPECTACULAR I witnessed last night, great great game. Tonight I'll be checking for the debut of NBC's new Thursday night "Must-see TV" lineup, mixing our favorite HD show, My Name is Earl, with The Office, Will & Grace, and the debut of Four Kings, all in HD (but Scrubs isn't, Lord, why hast thou forsaken me?)If you can possibly bring yourself to watch more sports action, after a triple-double last night against the Bucks, Lebron &Co. are back in action against the Rockets on TNT at 8 . After the jump is our traditional listing of HD programs throughout the night.
