This week, NBC blinked.
NBC had announced their new Aaron Sorkin created series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, would run opposite of CSI. This was a ballsy move, since CSI is the #1 series in the country right now.
Then, ABC decided to move its hit show, Grey’s Anatomy, to be opposite CSI as well. This looked like it was shaping up to be a mega-war, and NBC was bound to fail: they’re the #4 network (in the demographics that count), and the show they were fighting with was brand new, with no existing audience.
Well, apparently, NBC managed to rub their two brain cells together, and they’ve moved “Studio 60” to Monday nights, temporarily replacing Medium (Medium will be back mid-season).
Now that everybody is caught up on the “drama drama”:
This reminded me of the days way back when NBC was on top. CBS was starting a new series called “Chicago Hope” on Thursday Nights, because “LA Law” was ending. NBC added its own hospital show called “ER”. Guess what happened? In that case, CBS ended up moving Chicago Hope to a different night. It’s funny how this stuff just keeps coming back…
