NBC 2011-2012 Fall TV Schedule: Playboy Club Set Up On Mondays, Chuck Moves To Fridays

NBC released their primetime schedule for Fall 2011-2012, which includes a move to Fridays for Chuck, some interesting changes to Thursday night and the additions of GRIMM, The Playboy Club and Free Agents.

Chuck was moved to Friday’s to make room for the return of The Sing-Off and NBC’s new drama series The Playboy Club. While a move to Friday might be a bad sign for Chuck, let’s look on the bright side and say that at least it’s coming back, right? Fringe managed to survive the season and get renewed after being moved to Friday nights. Perhaps Chuck will do just as well.

Meanwhile, with Outsourced out, Whitney Cumming’s sitcom Whitney is moving into Thursday night. The comedy block will be followed by the U.S. remake of the popular Brit drama series Prime Suspect. We’ll have more details on all of the new shows coming soon.

Below is what NBC’s week will look like, more or less. There’s certainly a possibility that things will get shifted around between now and this fall.
