It's not popular enough for them to force anything.  This isn't the cast of Friends banding together to hold out for more money.  If the cast of Community held out, NBC would just dump this off the 2012 schedule and replace it with some crap starring Joe Piscopo and an animatronic pie.

They already have a show about busting people who park illegally.  It's called Parking Wars.  Will she give him a ticket or let him off with a warning?  Does he understand what a loading zone is?  Can they find his car in the impound lot?  Will the boot guy and his sassy sidekick ever do it in the back of the boot…

C'mon.  It's the black guy from Las Vegas, that one guy from That 70s Show, one of the Buffy Trio (who apparently got his skin back), and… some other guy.  And their dialogue is totally hip and now, and no one else is doing that on TV.  They told me so right in the commercial.

Old people are afraid of things like robots and monsters.  That's why they buy Old Glory Insurance from Sam Waterston.

I was rapidly scrolling past the descriptions of the new shows, lest I actually read one, but I stopped and scrolled back up when I passed her picture.  I'm sure she'll be wasted in whatever CBS is putting her in.

MENDOZA!!!!!!

Screw that.  Bring back Vanessa Marcil.

Coming in 2013 - NCIS: CSI.  About a naval investigative team that investigates crime lab investigators.

Every post-show title card this year should just be a picture of him with a dollar-sign bag overflowing with money in each hand, with the caption "Neener neener."

That was my first thought - my sadness over seeing it shuttled to Friday has been tempered by the notion that NBC may actually draw the coveted Mr. Blutarsky rating on Thursdays this year.  0 point 0.

Coming to TBS this year: "Fiends", about 6 young, hip New Yorkers who hang out at a coffee shop and do bad things to each other.

The world's not ready for an Asian man on keytar.

Krudler!

I'm a godless liberal heathen from the Bay Area.  I haven't seen you around the meetings.

No way - Perry's still a bankable star in NBC's eyes.  The one that goes first will either be the wacky veterinarian or the "hilarious" look at 3 dads with babies.  I watched the clip for that one, and it reminded me why Jesse Bradford hasn't been missed since Swimfan.  He and Dane Cook can fight it out for the Emmy…

Even if there are, the checks will just keep coming in.  I could probably watch Friends about 8 out of the 24 hours in my day on one channel or another.

They meant that he could go on raping white women and buying his way out of it.  He didn't need Shaq for that.

Leave it to NBC to promote 1600 Penn as an "election year comedy", then leave it off the schedule until after the election is, you know, already past.  They're basically bringing it on at the time when the whole country will have election fatigue.

It looks like they took the promo picture from Mr. Sunshine and just copy/pasted in his expression.

It’s better than staying on Thursdays at 8 to get murdered by the BBT.  Expectations for ratings on a Friday are lower - if it can come at all close to keeping its rating from this year, that would be a win for NBC.
