NBC Condemns Us To Wait Seven Months For New 30 Rock

Aw, Without a Trace! I used to watch that show on dvd, episodes and episodes at a time, until I got a little barfy and a lot more lonely!

Ohhhh... If Without A Trace is cancelled, can NYC theater have Anthony LaPaglia back now? And some producer put him in something next season?
Please?

@BowlingForDollars: But the CARS!

@stoprobbers Ille qui nos omnes servabit.: Ya mean 30 Rock is now gonna tell simultaneous, disjointed, Arc-ing stories about dorks and dweebs from the 70's, no 90's, no current age, no 1850's? & throw in a love quad, 2???

@bytememehard & Pope John Peeps II: As if you two were the only ones caught dead on camera unable to name the Supreme Court's Chief Justice!!

@pooks: I'll have to agree about Aziz.

@Richard Lawson: Or maybe it will be later- TWIST!

Housebroken(mostly)

@Cecil's Wielder: Aziz Ansari is great; he just needs more airtime. They haven't really figured out how to give the supporting cast main storylines so Amy Poehler's the only one who gets a chance to shine, but I have faith in the others.

Richard: I believe the proper term here is "Peacocktease."

@tunamelt: Oh come on; now you're just following me around Gawker, aren't you.

DahlELama

@pooks: Aziz Ansari is bound to get better, he's hilarious. Paul Schneider is a really good actor. Rashida Jones is solid. The supporting cast should be really good. I've only seen the pilot episode though.

Cecil's Wielder

@DahlELama: Ugh. Damn you, CW. You ruin everything. (V. Mars.)

I loathe Jay Leno. I hope his show dies a quick and painful death. It might be different if he were funny!

@stoprobbers Ille qui nos omnes servabit.: As a fan of both series, I'm not really upset. Sons of Anarchy and the end of Mad Men is going to be taking up most of my time this fall anyway.

Cecil's Wielder

Ugh, so far I'm hating all this upfront news. Privileged and Samantha Who? are both gone while crap like 'Til Death ironically lives on. (Does anyone watch that show? Or does it just cost like 50 cents to make?) Ugly Betty gets moved to a time slot where it has zero chance of survival, and Heroes gets moved up an hour so that I now have four shows competing for that time slot (and believe me, Heroes, you're not gonna beat out House, Gossip Girl, OR Greek on my DVR.) Why is everyone out to get me?

DahlELama

If Leno's ratings suck out of the box, they'll rename the show, CSI: Burbank.

@Kobayashi Maru: Chevy Chase is there too, so who knows what we're getting there.

Cecil's Wielder

@tunamelt: I'm pissed I really did like that show, since it went off the air I watch nothing on Tuesdays until RHW comes on

N.Bells

I hate Jay Leno too, and I can't believe they're putting him on every night! Oh, is it 10 already? Naw, I don't want to watch another cop show... Actually, I'm kinda sleepy. Really, Jessica Alba and the kid from "Two and a Half Men"? Okay, fine, I'll watch for a minute... Wow, the way he repeats unfunny punch lines is lulling me into a stupor... Ha, stupid people on the street sure are stupid... Jessica, why don't you have anything to say about anything? Oh, look, Blink 182 is back... Blrgls bladrglll... zzzzzz.......

@Housebroken(mostly): Nov. 25th is a very long time.

It'll be back sometime between Oct 29 and Nov 25...

Housebroken(mostly)

@tunamelt: Agreed wholeheartedly. I was totally prepared to hate yet another show about spoiled rich brats and wannabes and was so pleasantly surprised at the actual content. The show exhibited more realistically flawed characters, interesting dialogue, and true-to-life situations than just about any other remotely similar show I've seen, not to mention the first homosexual, interfaith, interracial wedding I've ever seen. The CW definitely effed this one up bigtime.

DahlELama

@EleanorRigby: I never expected to like the girl from Reba as much as I did.

@tunamelt: I liked Privileged a lot. Sad to see it go. Joanna Garcia and Lucy Hale (and Dave Franco!) will hopefully be picked up by other series soon.

Privileged was such a great, cute show--they just marketed it all wrong.

It kept getting billed as some kind of companion to Gossip Girl, when really it was more like Gilmore Girls.

Also the gay wedding in the season finale, and the rich girl and her conservative boyfriend discussing it, was probably one of the more nuanced looks at gay rights/religious conflict you will ever see in a program on the CW. (Which, granted, isn't saying much, but it was an adorable show.)

@stoprobbers Ille qui nos omnes servabit.: You mean indifferently?

Understater

HAHAHA 30 ROCK FANS. NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WATCH LOST.

and according to Pope John - Jay Leno is must PEE TV

(thats a cathater joke)

NoGrumpys

I think they need to bring some more interesting ensemble characters onto Parks and Recreation... stat. Amy Poehler is great, but the people they have her paired with are weak.

@Pope John Peeps II: A-fuckin-greed! Tired old twat. I can't imagine the level of boredom that might induce me to watch him ever.

Community also stars John Oliver from the Daily Show, so for me, to use a familiar phrase, that is "must-see TV".

Jay Leno is a fucking tool. And it's good that his show is moving to 10. That way his rapidly ageing audience don't have to stay up and slip in a new catheter to watch his big chinned one line "takedowns" of celebrities.

"oh did you hear about Joaqim Phoenix. Yeah, he sure JOAQIM'D his PHOENIX. EH? EH?"

@cupcakes: Heywood J. Ablome is correct. Mad Men isn't starting until August this summer, so their season should take us into October. And hopefully, by then DirecTV will have AMC in HD.

Cecil's Wielder

@cupcakes: i believe it was meant to be the end of Mad's current season (i hope). I love that show! And 30 Rock! And Lost for that matter.... i should get out more.

Heywoodjablome

@Goethewritesdrivel: Daniel Day Lewis.

@dolemite1975: me, me, me!!!

mulva

@Cecil's Wielder: Whoa whoa whoa, what do you mean "the end of Mad Men"

They are replacing Privileged w/ the new version of Melrose Place. Ugh.

@franimaljones: The so called reality shows are cheap to produce and don't require expensive things like actors. The scourge of them will be on us for ever.

Privileged - Great; W/o a Trace - Great. Bummer. Can I please not have to watch more reality shows than RHW? At least TBS and TNT are giving me great shows.

franimaljones

whatever. i have to wait 9 months for lost

Diet.Coke.

This is good. The "future of 30 Rock" as a news meme was about to kill the show. This takes the heat off. The makers of the show were probably given lots of assurances and are now unwinding - taking little micro-vacations - and getting back in to the game to double down.

Thomas Lord

Someone has a crush on Joel McHale. He IS adorable.

@Goethewritesdrivel: If it is cars you want, may I suggest Top Gear. It has to be one of the funniest shows on TV ever.

@DahlELama: Nobody ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the American television viewer. Just look at American Idol.

I am hoping that the Jay Leno craptacular fails for NBC. I like watching stuff like Law & Order at 10.
Then again, I am still pissed at what they did to WNBC. What next, you morons going to fire Chuck and Sue? I might not notice since I am watching WCBS for news now.

I think last year 30 Rock debuted around Halloween. So this is not great, but not totally unexpected. And I have high hopes for Community.

Is the SNL Weekend Update only going to be with Seth or is Amy coming back for it? Does anybody know?

@tunamelt: Melrose Place 2.0 is still more promising then the stupid new model show, The Beautiful Life, which I believe stars waste-of-space Mischa Barton. Hasn't anyone learned anything from Models, Inc.? No one cares. Bring back Privileged, dammit. (And Veronica Mars, while you're at it!)

DahlELama

I wonder if Jay's new set will be made of all stonewashed denim.
