Justin Fixes the Studio upfront: NBC

NBC, beginning this fall, will own Thursday nights. Moving up an hour will be the inconsistent but decent "My Name is Earl", and the best comedy on television, "the Office". At 9, Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip." will take hold. Also of note, the already hyped "Heroes" will share a timeslot (presumably) with 24, Monday at 9. Tuesday night is "Friday Night Lights," based on the movie of the same name. If it is more like playmakers and less like the movie, we could have something good. Missing in action again from the fall schedule? "Scrubs." Cancelled though? No..another situation similar to the 05 fall schedule where it will be billed as a midseason replacement. Whatever works to keep it on the air is cool with me, not to mention the show should be hitting syndication very soon. All in all, NBC is in a good place to command quite a bit of my viewing week. If only Scrubs was on the schedule, this would be an A + upfront.
