Scrubs will be Pre-empted on January 15th again for the Apprentice. They will show "My Rule of Thumb" on the 22nd....they always seem to do this with all of my favorite shows. It makes me so angry!

TJL · 01-10-2004, 07:20 PM

That is a crock. The one good show they have been able to stick in the post "Friends" timeslot in years and they keep pre-emting it for garbage.

That stinks! Scrubs is one of the few decent sitcoms left on TV.

dlemond · 01-13-2004, 11:42 AM

The last new of episode of Scrubs was on December 11th.

Seems like ages ago.

you don't they'll cancel it if they keep doing this do you?

I highly doubt NBC can afford to lose another comedy. Once Friends and Frasier are gone come May, Will And Grace is the only comedy besides Scrubs that actually gets reasonable ratings.

If I knew what you were saying I'd probably disagree with you.

I mean pre-empting it....Thats what Happened to Whose Line is it anyways, they kept pre-empting so it kept losing viewers until it got cancelled (I think)

Yeah, if they keep doing what they are doing, the casual fans will just forget about it and watch something else. It happened to Futurama, and Andy Richter Controls the Universe. But I highly doubt NBC will cancel Scrubs. Every network trys to have the one "critic" hit, that doesn't do as good in ratings, but does brilliant with the press.

Last minute moves:

Starting next Thursday (1/29), NBC's Thursday nights will lead with "Friends," followed by "Will & Grace" at 8:30 and "The Apprentice" at 9 p.m. for an hour. To make room, "Scrubs" has been pushed to Tuesdays at 9:30, starting February 3.

As a result, the Peacock's Tuesday now will start with "Whoopi" at 8:00, followed by "Happy Family" (which returns to the 8:30 slot after a stint at 9:30), "Frasier" and "Scrubs." Odd man out is "The Tracy Morgan Show," which has been sentenced to schedule purgatory -- Saturdays at 8 (paired with a "Whoopi" repeat). NBC will air re-runs, rather than originals, of "The Apprentice" in the Wednesday 8 p.m. slot. "Good Morning Miami" is missing and looks like it will not return anytime soon, if ever.

I'm confused.....Is this all Temporary? or is it staying on Tuesdays for good?

That's a mess. NBC is really bad this year. Starting shows at :55 and other odd times past the hour and stuff. ARGH!!!

It looks like this will last the season (after May), if it does well, that is. Word is next fall Scrubs will be taking Frasier's Tuesdays at 9PM slot, but we won't know that until mid-May. And The Apprentice 2 (if there is a second one) might actually jump start Thursdays at 8 for NBC, and air the Friends spin-off, Joey, at 9. This is all speculation, of course.

NBC is trash anyway. They haven't been good at all since about 1992 or so.

Brent88 · 01-23-2004, 10:37 PM

WHAT??? The Apprentice 2 vs. SURVIVOR?

Is he crazy?

You see what happened when Idol was up against The Apprentice.

It KILLED it.

barwars · 01-28-2004, 01:02 PM

I think Scrubs would fit Frasier's time slot very well
(unless the people behind Frasier get smart and produce a spinoff)

I think The Apprentice 2 vs Survivor will be the end of The Apprentice.

If NBC were smart (which they havent been in years) they would make Thursdays like this:

8:00 Joey
8:30 Will & Grace
9:00 The Apprentice (as much as a Reality Show on Must See TV kills me.... this would be their smartest move)

and for Tuesdays:

8:00 Whoopi
8:30 Happy Family
9:00 Scrubs (or the brilliant idea of a Frasier spinoff)
9:30 NEW sitcom (or Scrubs if a Frasier spinoff does appear out of nowhere)
