I guess we have more reality and game shows coming our way

[Happy Time Harry]

Doesn't look good for shows like Scrubs or Studio 60 either.

[Joe Doesn't Care]

Studio 60 is done, Scrubs is already contracted for this season and for some reason if they don't get on the air on NBC, ABC will probably air it since they actually own the show. Outside chance Heros could be out too. Also this explains why shows like Stargate SG-1 is getting the boot too.

You know what they need? Seek and Destroy, a reality show where top-notch PIs reveal secrets to couples about to get married. The couple that stays together gets a swank wedding, $1 million, and the house where the show takes place.

Sorry Rupert Murdock got that show because NBS wouldnt bid on it...

I love Studio 60- I hope they give it a chance.

The real reasons NBC may well and truly be fucked:

Scrubs was fucked the moment Braff said he was done with it after this year.

Studio 60 just proves that, rightly or wrongly, nobody really gives a shit about a "talky" show that's about another show.

My Name Is Earl just doesn't seem to have that magic "it" that it had last year, hopefully they'll regain it.

Heros may be a one season wonder, I doubt that its got any kind of staying power over the long haul.

Law & Order all the franchises seem to be ready for a toe-tag. The original finally looks tired, SVU is too focused on Meloni and Hargitay, and the revolving cast on CI doesn't lend itself to any kind of continuity.

Bright Spots:

The Office is finally getting the recognition it deserves, and IMO, is far better than the original version. Of course, they've got to be worrying about how much longer Steve Carell is going to stay interested in doing television.

30 Rock finally started living up to the hype with the most recent episode, it's just too bad they follow it up with the God-awful 20 Good Years.

[Kirblar]

On paper, 20 good years SHOULD be good. The writing's absolutely abysmal though, wrecking it.

When you have a show in 2006 that uses a laughtrack, you know that show is shit.
