NBC scrambles its sked

Posted by Suzanne Ryan October 26, 2006 05:01 PM

"Twenty Good Years" turned into 20 not-so-good minutes.

NBC has benched the John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor comedy, the "Hollywood Reporter" reported today. The series might be back in early 2007.

Meanwhile, Thursday night is heating up on NBC with the addition of "30 Rock" (Nov. 16) and "Scrubs" (Nov. 30).

NBC will then have a two-hour comedy block on Thursday nights like the old days.

Will this save NBC? Unlikely. Remember, ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and CBS's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" are the top two shows on television. They air on Thursday nights.

Enough said.
