Ok, so a good bit of TV news coming out of Hollywood today as we get NBC's year round programming announcement.
The Good:
The Office will be back. Medium will be back at mid season. Earl is back. 30 Rock will keep rockin'. SNL will have 4 half hour 'TNL' episodes to air in the fall after The Office to make fun of the election process, because obviously they think Hillary hasn't made enough of a mockery out of the whole thing by herself. Lastly Chuck and Friday Night Lights are both back. Chuck will return in the fall and so will FNL. The catch, FNL will be on in the fall on Directv only and then reair in the winter on NBC.
The Bad:
ER, yes that show is still on, will be back for its 15th year. I guess it is trying to outlast The Simpsons.
The Crazy: An Office spin-off will debut after the Super Bowl in early February and will then begin airing after the original Office on Thursday nights. HUH? Yeah, that long rumored, never believed tale about the best comedy on tv getting a sibling turned out to actually be true. Whether the show follows a current character like Dwight or ends up going to another Scranton branch altogether (with Karen?) remains to be seen. I'll let you know more as I do.
New:
Knight Rider will be a show again, airing on Wednesdays. Kings, a Biblical drama will be a back door movie pilot and if successful will be picked up as a series to air on The Lord's Day after Medium. Christian Slater's Jekyl and Hyde style show My Own Worst Enemy will also debut. Plus a new sitcom starring Molly Shannon and Selma Blair will be in play.
Now The Desperate Housewives news from ABC. When the show returns in late April it will pick up 5 months after the last aired episode...but that's not the scoop. The truth is the show is likely to jump forward 5 years into the future in the season finale...and stay 5 years in the future when it returns in the fall. That means major cast changes and WHOLE NEW MYSTERIES. What do you think???

That is really weird about Desperate Housewives. If this were to happen who do you think would be impacted the most?
Holly
I would guess the biggest impact would be on Susan b/c she would now have a 5 year old child. Her older daughter would probably leave the show and be off to college. You also have to consider that the other kids would likely have to be re-cast or not used on the show any more. Its a very strange idea.
