Studio 60 looks good. Plus I mean Aaron Sorkin created it and is writing it, so you can't go wrong there. I don't think many people would argue when he was helming The West Wing it was damn good television, he has the Emmys to prove it, as does Allison Janney; Richard Schiff and John Spencer (RIP). So NBC is smart to move it!! Very wise decision.

NBC's Fall Fix: Medium Out, Jordan In

NBC held a Thursday-afternoon conference call to discuss its fall schedule, which has been revised, in part, to avoid pitting Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip against CSI and Grey's Anatomy (which ABC slid into the Thursdays-at-9 slot after the Peacock had already unveiled its own lineup). The official word from NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly: Studio 60 is moving to Mondays at 10, bumping Medium to a mid-season return; Tuesday will feature Law & Order: Criminal Intent and SVU back-to-back, starting at 9, an adjustment NBC made after seeing that Fox didn't move House; Wednesday now starts off with the 20 Good Years-30 Rock combo, followed by The Biggest Loser and Kidnapped; the Thursday-at-9 problem is being solved with Deal or No Deal, a show with "a lot of momentum," says Reilly; and Fridays will now kick off with Crossing Jordan — that's right, no wait for mid-season — and close with Law & Order, which, Reilly says, will be invigorated by "multiple cast changes."

very interesting schedule..I'm very happy that Studio 60 is in the 10pm slot on mondays..Now i will have the opportunity to watch it, also thats a timeslot that nbc does fairly well in...Tuesday night is interesting now with Friday Night Lights, Law and Order CI, and SVU...2 law and orders on one night might be overkill, but USA does it all the time in syndication...I'm glad the wednesday comedies got moved to 8pm, as they won't compete with Lost...but kidnapped at 10pm might be hard timeslot..Look how heist bombed...Deal or No Deal is a good show to put against greys and CSI...I will just watch Greys...Fridays should be solid for NBC, but moving Law and Order is a risky move, and probably one that pissed Dick Wolf off..

    • Finally got to the Thorne switchover in 1989. OG Thorne's drunk acting in his last episode was pretty awful. For a second I wondered if the performance was so bad Bill Bell felt he had no choice but to recast ASAP....until I remembered he was fine with letting Terri Ann Lynn vacantly shriek her lines for 2 1/2 years with no problem. Crazy that if SON was around in 1989 there might be a debate if Ron Moss was the 2nd best Forrester actor, rather than being the worst actor in daytime. Lauren Koslow finally had some decent material in August/September. Seeing Margo briefly interact with Stephanie & Caroline made the actress come alive. It seemed when the show started, she was there to mix it up with the power players, instead of being stuck on the B team with Kristin, Clarke & Mick (was the casting notice for this part a Kale Brown-type doing a Christopher Walken impression?). Anyway, the way Bill Bell wrote for her makes one appreciate James E. Reilly. Bobbie Eakes was a very pleasant surprise. I haven't had too much exposure to the character before. She was confident and watchable from day 1. I guess Rocco and Nick fell in love and left LA together offscreen.

      I was praying this pool set would retire... but nope. We're stuck with it for another agonising summer. LordT help us.
    • I wonder if Anita stole the spotlight at Barbara’s funeral in the same way Ms. Ross did when she arrived to Florence Ballard’s funeral in this over the top ensemble with cameras focused on her.

    • Justice for Tracy, Sharon and Barbara! Anita is the real villian and she shouldnt be painted as the victim. The Articulettes was the dream of Barbara who founded them only for Anita to steal the group and throw them away when she was done using them for her come up.One of the worse things you can do to a person is ruin their reputation and Anita was complicit in having Tracy and Sharon basically trashed and blackballed, thus ruining any chance they had of bouncing back   I wondr if the public think Barbara's death was an accident but the sad reality is, she is likely forgotten as an unknown footnote in the Articulettes origin story.   Anita didnt do anything that would warrant jail time but she should suffer. I hope this story is really a redemption one for Sharon and Tracy whom have their names cleared and they are able to be celebrated and have their accomplishments to music history recognized on a grand stage. Right now, this has all been about elevating Anita's own self and reliving her on glory. She needs to take a back seat and do right by those women and honor Barbara's legacy. She's a part of black history and Anita erased her

    • -- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake. -- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL -- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense. -- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer. -- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem. -- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.

    • Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right?  I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is). 
    • For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her. 
    • Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing. 
    • Unfortunately no….no one can touch Steffy

    • Tamara Tunie was exhilarating today. All her scenes were emotional, touching, and heartbreaking.
