NBC's new schedule...for the ENTIRE YEAR!?

Let's talk about renewals first, shall we?

Friday Night Lights: 13 episode season. Direct Tv gets it first, then NBC runs it in the winter. Sounds good to us. Although I still need to watch the 1st season DVD.

Lipstick Jungle: surprised? so are we. however, with Cashmere Mafia out of the running for SATC-WANNABE, maybe the audience will grow. Plus, Lindsay Price can do no wrong in our book. even with those new fake chompers.

ER: it's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK. Imagine one of the Olsen twins replacing the freaky daughter from Poltergeist saying this to Uncle Jesse; he's a very very happy man.

30 Rock: Duh.

Medium: call it The Witches boost, after this season's higher ratings with Angelica Houston.

Law & Order: double duh. although, we want to see how Anthony Anderson works into the mix later this spring.

Now onto the schedule itself (bear with us...or NBC...or Ben Silverman (B.S. for short)...or any:
