SCRUBS returns

From TV Guide's Matt Roush:

In a bold move, NBC announced they'll be beginning a two-hour comedy block beginning November 30.


My Name is Earl, The Office, Scrubs, and 30 Rock. Good to see Scrubs get some love, finally, and going against CSI and Grey's Anatomy just means the expectations are low.

November 16 sees the insidious "super-sized" 40 minute episodes returning for Earl, Office, and 30 Rock. Not that I'm against more of the shows (the first two, anyway); it's just that typically, the extra 10 minutes are worthless parts that can be easily excised for syndication (ahem ahem *Friends* ahem ahem).

And what of Twenty Good Years? NBC didn't say. The block it currently resides in will have specials and etc airing.

And here I was going to vote for it in the "death pool" this week...
