Meanwhile, over at "30 Rock"

Posted by Joanna Weiss October 25, 2006 02:52 PM

Tina Fey's comedic take on sketch-comedy-versus-The-Network is moving up in the world. Specifically, up to 9:30 p.m. on Thursdays. Starting on November 30, NBC is scrapping "Deal or No Deal" in the 9 p.m. Thursday timeslot and putting in a comedy block: "30 Rock," preceded by "Scrubs."

Since "Grey's Anatomy" has been barrelling into absurdity, and "CSI" appeals to an entirely different set of viewers, this could be a smart way for NBC to stake a bigger claim on the Thursday night fight.

Meanwhile, "30 Rock's" former time slot, 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, will be occupied by "various specials," according to NBC. And you know what that means: "Twenty Good Years," your 15 minutes are up.
