9:00 p.m. “Modern Family”
9:30 p.m. “Happy Endings”
10:00 p.m. “Revenge”
With Cougar Town moved to midseason, Happy Endings takes the post-Modern Family slot. Interesting choice.
THURSDAY: 8:00 p.m. “Charlie's Angels”
9:00 p.m. “Grey's Anatomy”
10:00 p.m. “Private Practice”
Charlie's Angels is either going to flop or become really popular, so we'll have to see what happens.

9PM: LIE TO ME (All-New Episodes)
Mondays, beginning Feb. 7
8PM: HOUSE (All-New Episodes)
9PM: THE CHICAGO CODE (Series Premiere)
It looks like Lie to Me won't be getting a back 9 unless its ratings miraculously jump. And still, Chicago Code will have to go somewhere.

NBC midseason schedule and thoughts
MONDAYS
8-9 p.m. – “Chuck”
9-10 p.m. – “THE CAPE” will premiere with a two-hour episode on Sunday, January 9 (9-11 p.m.). New episodes start in its regular time period on January 17 (9-10 p.m.)
10-11 p.m. – “HARRY’S LAW’ (beginning January 17)
9-10 p.m. – “The Event” (returns on February 28, 9-11 p.m.; resumes in its regular time slot March 7)
10-11 p.m. — “Parenthood” (debuts in this slot March 7 with all originals)
Parenthood moving nights doesn't bode well since The Event won't work well as a lead in and it was doing fine on Tuesday (relative to the rest of NBC). On the other hand, Parenthood won't be going up against The Good Wife now.
TUESDAYS
8-10 p.m. — “The Biggest Loser: Couples” (beginning January 4)
10-11 p.m. – “Parenthood” (beginning January 4 for four episodes)
10-11 p.m. — “Law & Order: Los Angeles” (beginning February 8 )
With American Idol moving nights, The Biggest Loser should have an easier time. We'll see if that carries over to LOLA.
WEDNESDAYS
8-9 p.m. — “Minute to Win It” (beginning January 5)
9-10 p.m. –“Chase” (beginning January 12)
10-11 p.m. – “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (originals beginning January 5 with two-hour episode, 9-11 p.m. ET)
9-10 p.m. – “AMERICA’S NEXT GREAT RESTAURANT” (beginning March 16)
Chase is going right up against Criminal Minds, so it won't do better than it already is. Law and Order: SVU takes back the 10 o'clock hour, so its ratings should go up.
THURSDAYS (all beginning January 20)
8-8:30 p.m. – “Community”
8:30-9 p.m. – “PERFECT COUPLES”
9-9:30 p.m. – “The Office”
9:30-10 p.m. – “Parks and Recreation”
10-10:30 p.m. – “30 Rock”
10:30-11 p.m. – “Outsourced”
NBC adds the 10 PM hour to its comedy block, replacing The Apprentice. NBC's hope is that The Office will bolster Parks and Rec. while 30 Rock will keep Outsourced from falling too much. Will is work?
FRIDAYS
8-9 p.m. — “Who Do You Think You Are?” (beginning January 21)
9-11 p.m. – “Dateline NBC” (beginning January 7)
SUNDAYS
7-8 p.m. – “Dateline NBC”
8-9 p.m. – “The Marriage Ref” (beginning March 6)

THURSDAY
8:00-9:00 PM THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
9:00-10:00 PM NIKITA (New Series)
CW seems to be pinning its hopes on Nikita which gets the coveted slot after The Vampire Diaries.
FRIDAY
8:00-9:00 PM SMALLVILLE
9:00-10:00 PM SUPERNATURAL (New Night)
The combo is back together on another night.

TUESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM NCIS
9:00-10:00 PM NCIS: LOS ANGELES

WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM SURVIVOR (NT)
9:00-10:00 PM CRIMINAL MINDS
10:00-11:00 PM THE DEFENDERS (N)
Again, I find it interesting that Survivor, which thrived on Thursday, the day for high ad prices, was moved to Wednesday. The Thursday line-up gives a clearer picture. The Defenders is a new comedy-drama. Will it work with Criminal Minds?

No changes here.
TUESDAY: 8:00 p.m. “No Ordinary Family”
9:00 p.m. “Dancing with the Stars the Results Show”
10:00 p.m. “Detroit 1-8-7”
ABC is trying to launch 2 new shows around DWTS, but with the declining ratings of the results show and heavy competition, they could be in trouble.

8:30 p.m. “Better Together”
9:00 p.m. “Modern Family”
9:30 p.m. “Cougar Town”

THURSDAY: 8:00 p.m. “My Generation”
9:00 p.m. “Grey’s Anatomy”
10:00 p.m. “Private Practice”
FlashForward and The Deep End didn't work out in the slot, so ABC is trying about with My Generation.

NBC 2010-2011 Schedule and Thoughts
MONDAY
8-9 p.m. Chuck
9-10 p.m. The Event
10-11 p.m. Chase
Chuck is paired with two freshman dramas. There are those out there who complain about NBC not giving Chuck a fair chance, and the show staying in the same timeslot is more proof. Let's be realistic here. It'll take more than a Cheers-like miracle for Chuck to become a hit. It'll be in its fourth season and NBC has given it more than enough promotion in the first few seasons. If it's not a hit now, it'll never be. Still, I'd like to see what would happen if Chuck was given a decent lead-in, but The Event and Chase both don't seem like 8pm shows.
TUESDAY
8-10 p.m. The Biggest Loser
10-11 p.m. Parenthood
One of the few pairings that actually works (subjectively when compared to the rest of NBC) will stay intact for the fall.
WEDNESDAY
8-9 p.m. Undercovers
9-10 p.m. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
10-11 p.m. L&O: Los Angeles
Undercovers is J.J. Abrams's child and NBC doesn't want to mess that up. Wednesday is a relatively competition-free night, so sticking it at 8 would be a safe choice. Despite a pretty substantial ratings decline, Law & Order: SVU is staying at 9, where is was hurt the most, and becoming a lead-in for Law & Order: LA. With CSI: NY plummeting against SVU, it's not a terribly bad idea.
THURSDAY
8- 8:30 p.m. Community
8:30-9 p.m. 30 Rock
9-9:30 p.m. The Office
9:30-10 p.m. Outsourced
10-11 p.m. Love Bites
Most notable is the absence of Park and Recreations, which has been move to midseason, and the move of 30 Rock from 9:30 to 8:30 to make room for the new comedy Outsourced.
FRIDAY
8-9 p.m. Who Do You Think You Are?/School Pride
9-10 p.m. Dateline NBC
10-11 p.m. Outlaw
Outlaw looks like a goner.
SATURDAY
Reruns
SUNDAY
7- 8:15 p.m. Football Night in America
8:15-11:30 p.m. NBC Sunday Night Football

January Return Dates
Lots of shows are coming back from extended breaks (2 months+), so here's a list of them with some of my thoughts.
Chuck - Sunday, January 10
I can't believe Chuck got renewed, but it's coming back with a two-hour season premiere and another episode the next day in the regular 8 PM time slot.
Big Love - Sunday, January 10
The long-term arcs for Big Love are very average, but the acting and occasional flashes of creative brilliance makes the show worth watching.
Leverage - Wednesday, January 13
The second season has undoubtedly been worse than the first which isn't too big a problem since the first season was so good. From what I read, Gina Bellman won't be showing up for a while.
24 - Sunday, January 17
24 is my favorite show in television for the sheer force that is Jack Bauer. I don't care about plot holes or wacky storytelling; Kiefer Sutherland is still amazing after seven seasons and I am looking forward to the eighth season and hopefully ninth.
White Collar - Tuesday, January 19
I thought White Collar would be the best new drama of the season, but the stories have been lackluster. The chemistry and acting is still on par with the amazing pilot.
Burn Notice - Thursday, January 21
Burn Notice is finally back and Michael is back at square one trying to get back into the spy game. His motivations? We still don't know, but the show is still a blast to watch.
Damages - Monday, January 25
Damages is a brilliant show and we are lucky to have gotten a third season. If not for the critical praise, the show would be a goner.
Psych - Wednesday, January 27
The show is now about Shawn blurting out random dribble, but James Roday is such a great comedic actor it is actually funny. The show has gotten exceedingly stupid and I still laugh.
Chuck - Sunday, January 10
I can't believe Chuck got renewed, but it's coming back with a two-hour season premiere and another episode the next day in the regular 8 PM time slot.
