NBC Friday Night Schedule Change
« Reply #15 on: April 20, 2006, 09:11:07 PM »
And there's a tinge of "Last Comic Standing 3" in this move as well. Tonight is the "championship" cook-off, with the winners from the first 3 nights. There's a national vote after tonight's show, with the winner planned to have been announced in Friday night's show -- during which the three pro chefs would have their own competition.

Did they have any impromptu new ending about how the winner would be determined?

They also axed tonight's final for extra Will & Grace and Earl episodes.

Allegedly the final, at least, is to be available on NBC's website.

Given the cavalier way that NBC treats their reality shows (they've now got two notable examples of pulling shows before their finals have aired) it's even more amazing to me that they've managed to treat DoND as well as they have.

Not to mention pulling LMAD in 2003 with two unaired episodes.

I went there and the show is available. Under the media player is a disclaimer about how circumstances after the show's taping will not allow a phone vote to occur.

Two things --

It *is* the Miss USA episode, and even though you're correct, Zach, I consider that apples to oranges.  LMaD was not pulling consistent 9s and 10s, IIRC.

Semi-on-topic:  Deal will be going syndie.  'Bank' on it.

Where in this case, the "circumstances" are the ratings eating a tremendous amount of ass. :)

Not that anyone here cares, I'm sure, but NBC will be airing the final 2 episodes of 'Showdown' (the ones originally scheduled for tonight and tomorrow) on Saturday night (from 8-10 ET/PT, I believe).

In other scheduling news, Deal has been extended to 2 hours on Monday 5/15. and it will be pre-empted by Dateline the following Friday.

So they ARE gonna run now. Hmm.

It might be a fair time-waster if the hockey playoff games are lame at that point. If I don't put my fist through my TV the first time Cindy Margolis says hi to all of her "cyberbuddies".

Didn't NBC kinda hoard the two better hockey games for their own coverage Saturday?

Shame I live in a market without an NHL team.  ;-)

Don't particularly care. My Sharks have the night off (they start in Nashville on Friday), and between Center Ice and the inevitable CBC doubleheader, I'm quite sure I'll have a few games to choose from. :)

True that (although CBC's doubleheader is only on Friday--you just have Carolina/Montreal [CBC] and Buffalo/Philadelphia [OLN] to choose from for the night games Saturday, which could both be over as COOKING's airing out your way).  

Luckily for me, Center Ice and MLB Extra Innings share channel space on my system (and I would assume on others), so as long as I have MLBXI, I also get hockey.  It helps when I'm not in the "most of the nation"  that will see NY Rangers/New Jersey Saturday.  :)

Really? Hmm. I admit I hasn't seen a playoff schedule yet (aside from San Jose's), and I just naturally figured they would hack it so CBC would get Hockey Night on their regular night. Strange.

Might be a good night to get up close and personal with my Xbox 360, then. :)

NBC's programming continues to be an embarrassment and their top daytime personality just jumped ship for another network

Hmmm... this must mean Jeff Zucker's due for another promotion!

CBC will have doubleheaders any night it is not Montreal-Carolina.  They will also make up for this weeks Saturday singleheader with a tripleheader the following Saturday.
