NBC Mid-Season News

Finally, a network stepped up and announced its mid-season schedule. Predictably, it's NBC, which has some hits again-- but not a good schedule to fit them in yet.

Dateline NBC takes over the Tuesdays at 7 pm spot beginning Dec 26.

Friday Night Lights moves to Wednesdays at 7 pm starting Jan 10, followed by Deal or No Deal. The move should keep it out of the horrorshow that American Idol would inflict upon it on Tuesdays. But it still has to lead off the night, which is gonna be tough.

Grease: You're the One That I Want (a reality contest to find actors for the Broadway revival) begins Sunday, Jan 7 at 7 pm followed by the show that should just die already: The Apprentice (Season 6 in L.A.) at 8:30 pm. Crossing Jordan takes the Sunday at 9 pm slot starting Jan 21.

The supposed-to-be-good Black Donnellys will finally premiere in early March and will take Studio 60's spot (leaving four episodes unaired-- unless they find another spot for it; it's a very lucky show to enjoy the Heroes lead-in for much longer than most people would have expected). And Raines will take over Las Vegas' timeslot in early March as well.
