No offense, but those many changes are extremely unlikely. Especially the moving of Law and Order to Sunday as well as SVU. SVU is likely to remain where it is while L&O Mothership will either stay on Friday or return to Wednesday. Also, NBC is likely to stick with the Thursday comedy block and Studio 60 is a goner. I'd also be surprised if Medium returns to Monday. NBC is more likely to launch something new out of Heroes.

Oh lodry, this is my best try, but the bulk of the the NBC pilots sound like crap.
MONDAY 8-9 pm "Deal or No Deal" 9-10 pm "Heros" 10-11 pm "Medium" (new night)
The first two hours are great, but do Medium a solid and move it back to the night when it had it's highest numbers. I'm sure with Heros as a lead in, the ratings will go through the roof.
TUESDAY 8-9pm "Thank God You're Here" 9-9:30pm "The Office" (new night & time) 9:30-10 pm "30 Rock" (new night & time) 10-11 pm "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"
Tuesday could use a jump start, so let's transplat Thank God, The Office and the low-rated 30 Rock. Scrubs can replace 30 Rock later in the year.
WEDNESDAY 8-9 pm "The Biggest Loser" 9-10 pm "Friday Night Lights" (new time) 10-11 pm THE BIONIC WOMAN" (a reimagined version of the popular 70s series)
Friday did fine here, but maybe with The Biggest Loser as a lead it, the ratings could get batter with the Bionic Woman.
THURSDAY 8-8:30 pm "My Name Is Earl" 8:30-9 pm "LIPSHITZ SAVES THE WORLD" (Jenny McCarthy lead comedy) 9-10 pm "LIPSTICK JUNGLE" (drama from Sex & the City writer/creator Candace Bushnell staring Brooke Shields) 10-11 pm "ER"
Earl and the Office need to be slip up to help balance the nights and the 2nd hour of comedies weren't doing well, so maybe a ridiculous comedy like Lipshitz will benefit from Earl and maybe Lipstick Jungle can take away from CSI.
FRIDAY 8-9 pm "Deal or No Deal" 9-10 pm "Las Vegas" / "1 vs 100" 10-11 pm "Law & Order"
When in doubt, Deal or No Deal seems to be the answer. We'll see how Vegas does and if not, we'll replace it with 1 vs 100 or Identity or something scripted.
SATURDAY 8-9 pm "Dateline Saturday" 9-11 pm Drama Series Encores
Works just fine.
SUNDAY (fall) 7-8 pm "FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA" 8-11 pm "SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL"
SUNDAY (Spring) 7-8 pm "Dateline NBC" 9-10 "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" (new night) 10-11 pm "The Apprentice"
Please let this work against the Housewives.

I am new to this site however we saw E.R last night and they said all new epis to the end and curios are they cacelled it this season or they renewing til 2008? if you can post a officiall site where it actaully says that would be great
With more news coming out about NBC wanting to try a scattered schedule with less repeats; here's my latest NBC sked
SUN FALL / WINTER 7 Football Night in America / Identity 8 Sunday Night Football / Movies, Specials, Etc
MON 8 MONY 9 Heroes 10 Journeyman NOTE: Journeyman begins season early; Medium takes the 10 spot in January. Also in January, The Great American Singing Bee gets a try-out at 8. In March, a new drama - possibly the Daramont project or Bionic Woman - fills in between MONY and Medium during the Heroes hiatus.
TUES 8 Las Vegas 9 Biggest Loser 10 L&O: SVU NOTE: Biggest Loser starts in August, and Lipstick Jungle premieres in November at 9. Las Vegas wraps up early in late winter/early spring and is replaced by The Apprentice.
WED 8 The Office 8:30 30 Rock 9 Winters 10 Law & Order (original) NOTE: I know I'll get flack about Office, but I think the comedies should be broken up. In January, Dirty Little Secrets (the Christian Slater drama) premieres at 10, and then Law & Order returns in mid-April with "The Final 6". Also in April, a new comedy gets a try-out in the 30 Rock spot, as 30 Rock will have an early finale, while Winters also wraps up early and Baby Borrowers gets a shot.
THURS 8 My Name is Earl 8:30 Area 57 9 Deal or No Deal 10 Fort Pit NOTE: Fort Pit starts early (along with DOND). ER returns in January for its final season. A new comedy gets tried out at 8:30 in March, but Area 57 will be back mid-April.
FRI 8 1 vs 100 9 Friday Night Lights 10 Law & Order: Criminal Intent NOTE: I believe Dick Wolf will be successful in reducing costs and NBC will give in to renewing both. A new or returning reality/game show (Comedy Colosseum? Thank God You're Here?) premieres at 8 in November, and then 1 vs 100 returns in February. Friday Night Lights runs straight through and another non-scripted such as Bad Judge replaces it at 9 in March or April.
SAT Dateline followed by encores. If Fort Pit is enough of a hit, I think that they should repeat the season at 10 starting in January so it doesn't just fade from viewers minds, with SVU encores at 9.
Premiering in August RETURNING: Football & Biggest Loser
Premiering in Early September: NEW Fort Pit & Journeyman RETURNING: Deal or No Deal (special Mon edition in front of Journeyman, then regular time in front of Fort Pit)
Premiering in Mid/Late September: NEW: M.O.N.Y.; Winters; Area 57 RETURNING: Heroes, Las Vegas, Office, 30 Rock, Earl, Friday Night Lights, L&O: SVU; L&O: Original; L&O: CI
Premiering in November NEW: Lipstick Jungle New or Returning: 1 Non-Scripted (Fridays at 8)
Premiering in January NEW: Great American Singing Bee & Dirty Little Secrets RETURNING: Medium & ER
Premiering in Feb or March NEW: 1 New Comedy (Area 57 on hiatus) 1 New Drama (Heroes on hiatus) 1 New Non-scripted (FNL replacement) RETURNING: The Apprentice Returning from Hiatus: 1 vs 100; MONY
Premiering in Mid-April NEW: 1 New Comedy [30 Rock replacement] Baby Borrowers [Winters or Lipstick Jungle replacement] Returning from Hiatus: Area 57; Heroes; Law & Order
A couple years back, ER was renewed in a mutli-year deal through next year. Though I don't have time to search for this old news, I can point you to a site telling which shows have been renewed for next season: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/guide.aspx?id=upfront
As for after next season, a lot of it will come down to money and ER will probably find itself in a situation similar to the current Law & Order situation.

Monday 8:00- Deal Or No Deal 9:00- Heroes 10:00- Medium (New Timeslot) Note: It seems like no show will do well after Heroes, so it would be best to put an already established series that is a decent ratings performer. Medium and Heroes are also very compatible.
Tuesday 8:00- Welcome To The Family (New Series) 9:00- Ft. Pit (New Series) 10:00- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Note: Welcome To The Family is a reality series, about couples from different backgrounds (race/culture) getting married; it could get ratings for NBC; Ft. Pit (from the producers of Rescue Me), which is a crime drama would also be a good fit with SVU
Wednesday 8:00- Deal Or No Deal (New Timeslot) 9:00- Las Vegas (New Timeslot) 10:00- Lipstick Jungle (New Series) Note: This would be a female targeted night; DOND should be a good lead-in for Las Vegas, while Las Vegas could likely attract many viewers to NBC's biggest buzzed about new series, Lipstick Jungle. I would have put "Jungle" at 9pm, after DOND, but its likely ABC will put its Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Private Practice in the same timeslot, and NBC cant afford that.
Thursday 8:00- My Name Is Earl 8:30- The Mastersons Of Manhattan (New Series) 9:00- The Office (New Timeslot) 9:30- 30 Rock (New Timeslot) 10:00- ER Note: If NBC advertises ER in its final season, then maybe the series will get one last ratings boost. Hopefully 30 Rock will explode like The Office did last season and "Manhattan" could be a hit with Molly Shannon as the lead.
Friday 8:00- 1 vs. 100 9:00- Winters (New Series) 10:00- Law & Order: Criminal Intent (New Timeslot) Note: Criminal Intent is best suited for Fridays, while Winters, a new cop drama with Famke Janssen, could be a good lead-in
Saturday 8:00- Dateline NBC 9:00- Various Programming 10:00- Various Programming
Sunday 7:00- Sunday Night Football 8:15- Football Night In America MIDSEASON 7:00- Dateline NBC 8:00- Friday Night Lights (New Timeslot) 9:00- M.O.N.Y. (New Series) 10:00- Law & Order (New Timeslot) Note: This line-up could possibly work, its heavily male-oriented and if NBC heavily advertises it during SNF, then it might work. L&O should also be advertised as its final season too.
Thoughts... -NBC should start with a week-long DOND event to raise ratings for all of their shows (Mon-Fri. at 8pm) -Crossing Jordan, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Black Donnellys, The Real Wedding Crashers, Grease: You're The One That I Want, Scrubs, and Raines should not return next season. The Apprentice (which has already been renewed) should be held off until the summer and then NBC can axe the series for good -Other midseason shows would include: Life, I'm With Stupid, and Area 57
Attempt 2 Edit: added show to launch when Biggest Loser finishes
Monday 8:00- Deal Or No Deal 9:00- Heroes / The Bionic Woman (New Series) 10:00- Medium (New Timeslot)
Tuesday 8:00- The Biggest Loser (New Timeslot) / Chuck (new series) 9:00- The Office (New Timeslot) 9:30- 30 Rock (New Timeslot) 10:00- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Wednesday 8:00- Deal or No Deal (New Timeslot) 9:00- Las Vegas (New Timeslot) 10:00- Lipstick Jungle (New Series)
Thursday 8:00- Thank God You're Here 9:00- My Name Is Earl 9:30- Lipshitz Saves the World (New Series) 10:00- ER
Friday 8:00- 1 vs. 100 9:00- Ft. Pit (New Series) 10:00- Law & Order: Criminal Intent (New Timeslot)
Saturday 8:00- Dateline NBC 9:00- Various Programming 10:00- Various Programming
Sunday 7:00- Sunday Night Football 8:15- Football Night In America
Sunday (after football) 7:00- Dateline 8:00- Friday Night Lights (New Timeslot) 9:00- Law & Order (New Timeslot) 10:00- The Apprentice (New Timeslot)
Midseason *Scrubs since there is a contract for it. It can repalce 30 Rock or Lipshitz.
NIGHT-BY-NIGHT PRIMETIME STRATEGY
MONDAY Monday should remain strong for NBC. Mostly unchanged with the exception of adding the highly compatible Medium to the post-Heros 10:00 pm slot.
TUESDAY 8pm kicks off with some the reality show that gave NBC it's biggest non-Olympics Tuesday and then into The Office & 30 Rock to help fight FOX's House, then tried and true L&O:SVU staple.
WEDNESDAY The night get's completely refreshed with a transplat on NBC's reality Hit, then into a returning bubble drama and into the most buzzed about drama. Vegas and Lipstick can be flipped if needed.
THURSDAY Cheap reality hit takes the 8pm hour, Earl moves back to 9 to fight the Titians and has a ridiculous premise companion with the Jenny McCarthy face, then into the final season of ER.
FRIDAY Again cheap reality in the 8pm hour, then a new cop show followed by a returning Cop show.
SATURDAY "Dateline Saturday" will continue at 8 pm and encore telecasts of NBC dramas will run at 9 pm and 10 pm.
SUNDAY "Sunday Night Football" did great last year and can do it again. When the season is over, Friday Night Lights might be able to keep these viewers and Law & Order and The Apprentice should be able to steal some eyes away from ABC and FOX. If needed, L&O and The Apprenice's timeslots can be swapped.
I know NBC wanted to get rid of expensive scripted programming in the 8pm hour, so this schedule does that. I also only put Deal on twice a week. I don't want to deal with another Who Wants to Be a Millionaire fallout. Maybe Crossing Jordon can be back midseason w/ Scrubs. Also, have the Bionic Woman on back-up for when Heroes goes on hiatus. It paired with Medium could be fantastic.
