Survivor:

2 episodes ago, the individual challenge winner received a truck worth $60K.
Person A needs a truck
Person B wins the truck
Person B says that he'll give Person A the truck IF they get to the final four together and Person A wins immunity, it must be handed over to B.
Deal accepted.

Tonight, Person A wins immunity and B expects A to live up to his word.

Person A has the following decision:

-- 33% chance at $1,000,000
-- live up to your word and get eliminated immediately


Spoiler: :!: A kept the immunity, and B was voted out :!:

Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent both received full 22 episode pick-ups. However, Criminal Intent's episodes will be broadcast first on USA, and then on NBC. Both will have some production cuts, though no major changes in casting are planned and the cuts will not be noticeable to viewers.

Didn't he have to know that by going back on his word he gave himself no chance of winning? If he kept his word, maybe he could convince Yao to vote Cassandra, thus splitting the vote.

On one of the previous Survivors someone won the vehicle. This person was offered a chance to give vehicles to everyone else but not get one herself. She kept the vehicle and was voted off the next round. If she gave it away, how could anyone vote her off?

It's the sign of the times. For the first time in almost 30 years, NBC won't have a new comedy series on its fall schedule. And, in a hint of the new direction the broadcast networks will be taking in the face of audience demand for as many originals of their favorite series as possible, NBC's top comedies "The Office" and "My Name Is Earl" will produce 30 and 28 episodes, respectively, next season.

NBC is set to unveil its fall schedule Monday in New York following down-to-the-wire negotiations that secured the return of two veteran NBC series -- drama "Law & Order" and comedy "Scrubs" -- both of which had had potential suitors, TNT and ABC, respectively. "Law & Order" has been picked up for 22 episodes, "Scrubs" for 18.

I didn't understand why Dreamz would have been eliminated if he gave it up. He wasn't going to win anyway.

First clean sweep of the jury vote in the series history, and this fall's location will be China...

Full NBC press release on their fall season

http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx ... 70514nbc01

Wondering why Life is repurposed on Sci-Fi, Journeyman makes more sense, unless of course there's ssomething missing from the show description that makes it 'sci-fi' quality. Journeyman makes more sense as a repurpose.

To make it easier:

MONDAY
8-9 p.m. "Deal or No Deal"
9-10 p.m. "Heroes"
10-11 p.m. "JOURNEYMAN"

TUESDAY
8-9 p.m. "The Biggest Loser"
9-10 p.m. "CHUCK"
10-11 p.m. "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"

WEDNESDAY
8-9 p.m. "Deal or No Deal"
9-10 p.m. "BIONIC WOMAN"
10-11 p.m. "LIFE"

THURSDAY
8-8:30 p.m. "My Name Is Earl"
8:30-9 p.m. "30 Rock"
9-9:30 p.m. "The Office"
9:30-10 p.m. "Scrubs"
10-11 p.m. "ER"

FRIDAY
8-9 p.m. "1 vs 100"/"THE SINGING BEE"
9-10 p.m. "Las Vegas"
10-11 p.m. "Friday Night Lights"

SATURDAY
8-9 p.m. "Dateline NBC"
9-11 p.m. Drama Series Encores

SUNDAY (Fall 2007)
7-8 p.m. "Football Night in America"
8-11 p.m. "NBC Sunday Night Football"

SUNDAY (January 2008)
7-8 p.m. "Dateline NBC"
8-9 p.m. "Law & Order"
9-10 p.m. "Medium"
10-11 p.m. "LIPSTICK JUNGLE"


-25 episodes each for Earl and The Office, except 5 of those will be 1 hour for the Office.
-Only 18 episodes for Scrubs, so the 6 episode pick-up for The IT Crowd will have a legit chance, even though it was the only comedy pick up for the network
-There will be something called Hereos: Origins, where new characters are introduced and viewers can vote for their favorite at NBC.com and the winner gets to be in the cast next season. No idea if this stunt will be on NBC or just online.
-As far as I can tell, NBC only has something called World Moves and Criminal Intent as fill ins in case something fails.

Not very pleased at all with the Friday timeslot for FNL, but it's better than no timeslot at all. I guess they have to hold Las Vegas' numbers? Or we have to hope that something on that lineup fails and FNL gets the call to move in there?

How could NBC not develop one new good comedy? They really are pathetic.

"Heroes" will be back for 24 new episodes, which isn't unusual. But executive producer Tim Kring will also create six episodes of origins stories about new "Heroes" with an entirely new cast. Reilly said he anticipated that the companion series would most likely run after the regular "Heroes" season ends, and there will possibly be a viewer voting contest to get the most popular new character onto the regular show for its third season.

A weak series finale on King of Queens but I guess it makes everyone happy

-- Arthur marries Spence's mom
-- Spence and Danny are roommates again
-- Holly is knocked up and alone
-- Doug and Carrie get back together, fly to China and adopt a baby. When they get there, Carrie finds out she's pregnant.
-- One year later....same house, two screaming kids, and Arthur barges in, announcing he's moving back in
