Fall is in The Air
The broadcast networks’ annual upfront presentations, in which they announce their Fall lineups, kick-off this Monday afternoon with our friends from NBC.
With just three days to go, early versions of NBC’s Fall 2006 schedule are leaking, and here’s the word on what’s been going on inside the heads of the powers-that-be at 30 Rock:
In one early mock-up of the lineup, veteran drama ER stays place on Thursdays, with the new Tina Fey sitcom and comedy Community Service opening up the night (and Earl and The Office staying put from 9-10). In this same version of the lineup, the highly-touted new Aaron Sorkin drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip turns up on Monday nights. Studio 60 would join another new drama, The Black Donnellys, on Mondays, and current Monday resident Medium would shift to Fridays.
However, another version of the schedule has NBC shifting ER to either Tuesday (or possibly even Wednesday), to make room for Studio 60 in the Thursday-at-10 slot.
New drama Heroes is rumored to be heading to the leadoff slot on Tuesdays, and another new drama, Kidnapped, would then be sandwiched in-between Deal or No Deal and Law & Order on Wednesdays.
The Apprentice has already been renewed for another season, although it’ll likely sit on the bench until midseason.
Stand by for the complete and official NBC update on Monday afternoon (immediately following the peacock’s upfront presentation)...
Prayers Answered?
Let’s say that you’re a fan of 7th Heaven on The WB.
Last Monday, you watched the series finale. The last episode. The WB even confirmed in its promos for the show that last Monday’s episode was the finale – the end of a 10-year run. Chances are that if you were a fan you were sad to see it go.
Well… not so fast, Heaven fans. Your prayers may have just been answered.
Word began leaking out this afternoon that Spelling Television
(producers of 7th Heaven) and The CW (successor to The WB) have reached an agreement to “un-end” 7th Heaven and bring it back for an 11th season.
The resuscitation of 7th Heaven would be quite a coup for the fledgling CW network; Heaven has been The WB’s highest-rated program for many years, and was a very strong competitor in its Monday-at-8 time slot.
Even if you’re not a fan of heaven, then at least look at this way: Heaven’s return leaves one fewer open time slot on The CW for Blue Collar TV. And that’s a blessing in disguise, if you ask me.
