reruns of it air every morning on Centric. (or at least they were)

it was retooled a little bit and recast (a little bit) so its kind of the same but slightly different. (i could be wrong on this but its possible that the nbc pilot was single cam and not multi cam studio audience—but maybe i'm wrong on that..i honestly don't know now)

again this is what friends at work do. this is what friends do—they reference a lot of inside jokes—its not on them if the marketing dept tried to cater to the twiiter crowd by playing those up.

yeah i also didn't like that either—that seemed very, very needless and even if they wanted to put Neal's character through heartbreak—what purpose did that end up serving?

hahahaha!!!! Only three comments down from my initial defense of it and i'm already namechecked! I love it!

i liked Men At Work ok. I thought a good number of the one liners landed fairly well and the four guys clicked well enough together. I mean it was nothing special in that it was exactly the kind of sitcom that NBC or Fox would've tried relentlessly in the late 90's early 00's in after Friends on Thursdays or Just…

if it makes you feel better this coming season has absolutely gotta be its last. its a very expensive show for CBS and even if it still does well enough—its not as much of a hit as it was even two season ago now. there weren't rumors about the show being cancelled at the end of this season as recently as two months…

Kinda dissapointing lineup

ditto. tho i suspect like any other group of predictions, they probably got a number right and a handful wrong. (i'd be willing to bet that they didn't peg Sleepy Hollow as a probable hit for Fox given how many out there conceptually driven hour long shows havn't worked for them in the past)

yeah but all of those shows were down quite a bit this season from what they had been doing even two seasons ago. They may all be solid performers but none is the gotta see break out shiny new hit show they all once were meaning that that timeslot could've potentially been up for grabs for some new hit show (like The…

puzzlingly included is right…especially given the size of his role compared to the size of the other cast members highlighted.

Its weird—this actually might be the best schedule NBC has had in a long time from a ratings/successful fall launch perspective—but outside of Grimm, the final season of Parenthood, and i suppose The Blacklist—there's nothing here i absolutely feel i;d necessarily wanna watch as its airing in its timeslot (heck i…

i like your comparison of the timeslot sharing of Blacklist/new show to Bones/Almost Human/Bones again but this will work like gangbusters for them since Blacklist is already a giant hit so it won't be forgotten when it goes away between nov and feb the way Almost Human seemed to be collectively forgotten by FOX after…

it might be reasoning completely and totally pulled out of their collective asses—but their not wrong—-the people who will be tuning in for football aren't necessarily the same who would be tuning in for a sitcom—but the people tuning in for Big Bang Theory on Thursday nights are exactly the people who are looking for…

is it like the time the lead character on a new bad ass cop show that Homer was watching ended up having his full name? (Police Cops—-what's your name? the name is Simpson, Homer Simpson…hey that guy HAS MY NAME!!!!)

yeah but even there you had the occasional appearence of a special all new Scrubs buring thru its episode order by having an episode or 2 pop up on Thursdays—it was used a couple of times as a quick replacement for Joey—in order to make a one hour block alongside Will and Grace after that 2nd season of Joey was put…

hate to bust your theory but Jim was actually ABC's highest rated show in 2003 and 2004 (pre Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Boston Legal, etc) I'm serious According To Jim even broke the top ten ratings several times in late 2002/early 2003. It actually outright beat a new episode of Frasier a couple of…

that first season most definitely—i liked it a lot at the time—a really lot. (keep in mind i was a freshman in high school at that time but still) the second season—you could tell that cbs had some notes for the producers about making the show more family friendly—or more compatible with Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman…

winner!

you're forgetting about weekend syndication which still needs 4 to 5 seasons worth of show to run through in a year. (or something like my network which can run the show twice a week back to back for 52 week straight and burn thru the series in a year as well) they've had serialized stuff show up there in the…
