Love your column! My question ...
Question: Love your column! My question is, now that NBC has shelved
Four Kings (which I actually liked), what do you think about moving
Scrubs to the 8:30 pm/ET time slot that
Kings occupied? Maybe they could gain the audience they deserve if they were sandwiched between
Will & Grace and
My Name Is Earl.
Answer: I think it's a great idea — just about everyone except the NBC programmers seem to agree — but I don't see it happening, not this late in the season. NBC just threw another ball of crap at
Scrubs last week, pairing it with the miserably unwatchable
Teachers, and I would imagine for much of the rest of what's left of the season, NBC will continue to either double-run
Earl episodes on Thursdays (way to burn out a hot new show) or replay classic
Will & Grace episodes as part of the countdown to the end. Or maybe they'll find a way to sneak even more editions of
Deal or No Deal across the lineup. Who knows with this network? If
Scrubs survives this season, it will be no thanks to NBC.
