Chelsea, and probably Whitney, will both probably be gone next year, they will have room for 2 more sitcoms even if they keep the Thursday 5. It would make some sense to go back to the original Thursday night formula at NBC, which was 2 more family (and mass appeal) shows form 8:00 to 9:00, and then two hipper or sophisticated shows from 9:00 to 10:00, which might help them build some kind of a following for whatever 10:00 drama they try again with (which probably will not be Awake). The Will Arnett Show (which is how I think of it, to keep justifying my watching it) actually seems better suited as an 8:30 show following Rosanne, with 30 Rock at 9:30 after The Office (though, I guess that will be the Office Spin-off I forgot about, so maybe if the TVBTN guys are right, there is only room for the Rosanne show next year). > > On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 8:50 PM, PGage <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 1:31 PM, Mark Jeffries <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> Seems to me that the show, along with everything on Thursday Comedy >>> Night Done Right that isn't named "The Office," is on the bubble and that >>> the live show would be a good May sweeps stunt that may keep the show on >>> the air. >>> >>> I have the feeling that Thursday night is going to be torn apart next >>> year, save "The Office," and that at least two of the replacements will be >>> multi-cam laugh track sitcoms, including the Roseanne/John Goodman reunion >>> show (athough if CBS turns Thursday into a comedy block, they may back off, >>> but they do need something mainstream to go against "Big Bang" at 8).
