30 Rock pushed back to “midseason”
Come on, NBC! This is your funniest show. Why would you even push it back a week?
“And here’s NBC, and here’s the biggish news - “30 Rock” will sit on the bench until those “Saturday Night Live Weekend Update” editions air.
That can’t be good, right? Well, it’s not that big a deal either: NBC will use Thursday 9:30 to pop “Community,” the Chevy Chase/Joel McHale comedy about a community college, while “SNL” airs at 8. Nothing wrong with that move - networks do it all the time. But they don’t always pry out big hits to establish the newcomer; instead, they use the hit to give the newcomer a lead-in. “Office” stays at 9.
When will “30” move back to 9:30? I’m told in the fall, so while the shed below suggests mid-season, technically it’ll be back long before. The “SNL” specials will air over about four weeks.”
