Question: When The Apprentice ...

Question:
When The Apprentice started and NBC pushed Friends and Will & Grace together, they left out Scrubs, and I haven't seen it since. Then the other day I saw that it was on Tuesday and that things are moving along with Turk and Carla's wedding! I was surprised because I never knew NBC had moved it to Tuesdays! And I'm wondering has the show taken a big dip ratings-wise? Is it in danger? Oh, and I loved the Nick & Jessica show too, and would love to see it regularly. — Anthony W.

Matt:
Scrubs isn't in any danger, but it won't be returning to Thursdays as a regular, thanks to the success of The Apprentice. Because it's no longer airing aside a megahit like Friends, Scrubs' numbers have dropped, but by Tuesday's standards, it does well enough that it's part of the strategy to keep rebuilding that night next season post-Frasier. Personally, I wish it would swap with Will & Grace and see how that out-of-gas show fares on Tuesdays. As for Nick & Jessica, I think suggesting I "loved" it is going a bit far. Merely not hating it put me in the critical minority, but I'm not sorry that I wish there were more shows like that (albeit smarter) being made or at least attempted these days.
