Beginning November 30th, NBC will premiere and new line-up on Thursday nights, removing Deal or No Deal and replacing it with two sitcoms; the new “30 Rock” and the returning “Scrubs”.

“Deal Or No Deal” will not be moved to a new night, instead that franchise will go on with just two episodes a week; Monday and Friday.

The new line-up will be as follows:

  • 8:00 PM – “My Name Is Earl”
  • 8:30 PM – “The Office
  • 9:00 PM – “30 Rock”
  • 9:30 PM – “Scrubs”

That obviously means there will be three scripted medical shows on the evening; Grey’s Anatomy at 9:00 PM on ABC, and Scrubs at 9:30 PM and E.R. at 10:00 PM on NBC.

“Twenty Good Years” (which currently leads out of “30 Rock” Wednesday’s at 8:30 PM) has been put on an indefinite hiatus.
