NBC announced it will not super-size any of their comedies this year. It claims that the odd start and end times wreak havoc on viewers, and if their DVRs are off by just a little, then parts are missed.
I can't say I'm disappointed. Although I do think the shows that were super-sized last year were done well, I still have the Friends and Will & Grace super-size bad taste in my mouth. You remember, when they'd be super-sized with 10 pointless minutes that were obviously tacked on to super-size themselves? You also knew the pointless minutes could be easily excised from the syndicated versions.
Don't forget that The Office will be getting five hour-long episodes next season, but that doesn't count as super-sized because they don't disrupt the schedule, just that one show (probably Scrubs will not be on that week).
