NBC Changes Fall Lineup For Two New Shows

NBC has decided to move the timeslots of two of their new shows. In a last minute change, the network has decided to move ‘Twenty Good Years’ to 8:30 pm and stick ’30 Rock’ in the 8 pm spot. And instead of premiering ’Twenty Good Years’ on October 4th, both shows will make their debut on October 11th.

’30 Rock’ has gotten a lot more hype due to ex-SNL writer, Tina Fey’s involvement in the show but ‘Twenty Good Years’ is likely to be just as successful, if not more than ‘Rock’ for two reasons – John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor. Lithgow proved his ability to bring the laughs to the small screen when he starred in the hit show ‘3rd Rock From The Sun’ and Tambor gained popularity with his role as George Bluth Sr. in ‘Arrested Development’.

‘Twenty Good Year’ is supposed to be similar to ‘The Odd Couple’ in that the two men cant seem to agree on anything. That type of dynamic almost always works with sitcoms.

The reason for the switch, according to TV.com is that the network feels ‘Twenty Good Years’ will be a better lead-in to ‘The Biggest Loser’ which comes on at 9 pm on Wednesday nights.
