NBC is going to all dramas on Wednesdays and all unscripted on Sundays after announcing a schedule shift on Friday.
Deal or No Deal will move from Wednesday at 9 p.m. to Sunday at 9 p.m., pushing The Apprentice back an hour from 9 to 10.
Crossing Jordan goes the other way, moving from Sundays at 10 p.m. to Wednesdays at 9 p.m., where it will air in between Friday Night Lights and Medium.
The network earlier this week said it is pulling Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip off a week early and introducing rookie drama The Black Donnellys on Monday, February 26 at 10.
Why NBC never debuted Crossing Jordan on Friday like they originally planned is beyond me. Oh ya, that would mean they would know how to run a network and Jeff Zucker doesn't want to get anybody too excited about NBC gaining in the ratings.
Originally posted by TAYLORJNG: In my opinion, this is not going to do much and will probably bring even lower ratings to Crossing Jordan and Medium. How unfortunate!!
Agreed. And two straight nights of Howie Mandel is at least one too many.
Although NBC was smart to put 1 vs 100 instead of CJ at 8 on Fridays in my opinion. NBC should have put it after las vegas in the 10:00 spot on Fridays. Maybe they could have given a more dignified time period to Law and Order
