NBC WHYYYY

Lately due to having a full time job, I tend to fall asleep at 9:30/10 pm. That used to be right in the middle of Outsourced, which I didn't mind missing. It's not as great as I thought it might be.

However, starting January 20th, NBC is changing the times of its Thursday nigh shows, just in time for my birthday. But it's not a present that I want. They're adding two new shows (well, one which used to be on NBC and one new). This means that I will not be able to watch my original three shows in a row (Community, The Office, and 30 Rock). Here is what NBC Thursday nights will now look like:

8-8:30 p.m. Community
8:30-9 p.m. Perfect Couples
9-9:30 p.m. The Office
9:30-10 p.m. Parks and Recreation
10-10:30 p.m. 30 Rock
10:30-11 p.m. Outsourced

First of all, I was happy when Parks and Recreation was canceled. That show was trying to use The Office's formula by having a camera crew follow around people in an office, performing similar jokes, and having awkward office moments. Not as funny. Obviously NBC thought they could rectify this series after pulling it off the air for a while. Well, think about this NBC, the entire first season of Parks and Recreation can be rented at Family Video for 50 cents while most other television series are rented for $3 (older releases) or $1 a disc. If you have Netflix, Parks and Recreation can be viewed on Instant Queue Also, I can buy Parks and Recreation for about $10 at Walmart, if I really wanted. Which I don't want to. Ever.

 Second, now that 30 Rock has been pushed back to 10 pm, I have to choose between 30 Rock and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia on FX at 10 pm. At this point in time, It's Always Sunny is not on Hulu except for the first three episodes. However, starting on December 20th, Hulu will upload one episode a week. I don't know if they'll upload them the day after or wait a week. Until I find that out, I will probably choose It's Always Sunny to watch. If they upload episodes the day after, then I would probably stick with NBC.

However, lately I've been falling asleep by 9:30 (I'm so old...not really), so I probably won't even make it to either of those shows, which is unfortunate. Luckily Hulu is available.
