Question: I noticed that there are back-to-back new episodes of Modern Family this Wednesday night leading up to the premiere of the new musical drama series Nashville, while Suburgatory won't have its season premiere episode until the following week! Why did the TPTB at ABC felt the need to air two new episodes of Modern Family instead of premiering the second season of Suburgatory after MF and before Nashville? Was it because the network believes that two new episodes of MF running back-to-back together can make a more powerful lead-in to the series premiere of Nashville ratings-wise than Suburgatory, or is the network just that plain lazy with their programming schedule? — Chris B

Rove McManus
It's a little past 8:30 p.m. on a weekday on the Warner Bros. lot and on the set of his talk show, Rove LA, host Rove McManus has one very important question: "Is any of this show going to make it to the telly?"
His show has already been taping for more than an hour, but it's a fair question. That's because this is the first time the Australian native has to deal with the c-word: censors. Season 2 — which premieres Saturday at midnight/11c on TV Guide Network with guests Russell Brand, Adam Lambert and 30 Rock's Kristen Schaal — marks the first time Rove LA will air new episodes in the U.S. McManus is still figuring out just what he can get away with here in the states.

Jack Donaghy may be trying to "tank" NBC on 30 Rock, but his real-life alter ego Alec Baldwin says he's trying to do the opposite.
"I offered NBC to cut my pay 20% in order to have a full 7th and 8th seasons of 30 Rock. I realize times have changed," the actor tweeted Thursday, ahead of the show's final season premiere.

The Big Bang Theory claimed another victory Thursday, while 30 Rock kicked off its final season on a low note.
Leading off NBC's night, 30 Rock nabbed 3.4 million viewers and a 1.3 in the adults 18-to-49 demographic, off of what Community's season premiere (3.9 million, 1.7) delivered in the slot last year. Up All Night (3.1 million, 1.4) and The Office (4.1 million, 2.1) held steady, while ...

As 30 Rock begins its seventh and final season Thursday on NBC (8/7c), Alec Baldwin (Jack Donaghy) says the cast is in a reflective mood. "Everybody's got very mixed feelings," says the actor, who recently filmed Woody Allen's latest untitled feature in New York. "I think mostly people are very sad, because it's been a great experience and we'll never be able to duplicate this again. I'll also never have as good a job as this — ever."
