NBC is making some last-minute tweaks to its summer schedule, The Wrap is reporting.
Though not totally confirmed, network programming executives have decided to make Thursday nights all-comedy with additional episodes of ‘The Office’ and ‘Parks and Recreation’ in the 10PM hour. Some say this is a sign of more scripted comedies down the line, like the new anthology ‘Love Bits’. In addition, recently renewed dramedy ‘Parenthood’ will begin to air at 8PM on Saturdays.
The other tweak involves ‘Minute to Win It.’ The network will air original episodes Wednesdays at 8PM, beginning Jul. 7 (as a lead-in to ‘America’s Got Talent’). If that works, NBC may add a second airing in August — 9PM on Mondays. Executives need to be careful with this one, as viewers can easily burn out on multiple, weekly viewings of a show (the ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ effect), which will make the show’s renewal dead on impact.
