I'm not happy about 30 Rock being delayed for ages, but I can wait if it's necessary.

Their schedule continues to disappoint. I'll continue with Parenthood and really look forward to them not messing up The Playboy Club. The only other show even remotely interesting is Prime Suspect, because I like Maria Bello.
I see they're trying to find a supernatural type show to go up against Supernatural and Fringe on Fridays. No thanks, I'll skip the fairy tales for my beloved longer term shows.

If you read the article, you'd know that this is the FINAL season of Chuck, only 13 episodes and yes, moved to Friday nights.
Prime Suspect was an AWESOME British crime series with Helen Mirren. Consider NBC's remake a travesty, as are all their other remakes. UGH.
