Ah - yep - looks like How I Met Your Mother at 8, so same problem. I'm glad nobody in the house watches Dancing w/ the Stars.

Re: 2009 Fall Schedules

CBS lays out a tight fall premiere schedule
By Rick Porter | June 24, 2009 1:46 PM

CBS will take the concept of "premiere week" very seriously this fall, launching nearly its entire lineup the week of Sept. 21.
The only outliers on the Eye's launch schedule are "Survivor: Samoa," which will debut Thursday, Sept. 17, and the new medical drama "Three Rivers," with star Alex O'Loughlin, which will premiere Sunday, Oct. 4. The rest of the schedule, including three other new shows and the CBS premiere of "Medium," will all roll out the week after the Emmy Awards (which CBS is broadcasting this year).
The compact premiere schedule is pretty much par for the course with CBS, which hasn't messed much with the way it rolls out its shows in the past few years.
Highlights among the premieres include a reshuffled comedy lineup on Monday, Sept. 21 that has "How I Met Your Mother" at 8 p.m. and "The Big Bang Theory" at 9:30; the premiere of "NCIS: Los Angeles" following its parent show on Tuesday, Sept. 22; and "The Mentalist" settling into its Thursday-night home after "CSI" on Sept. 24.
"The Amazing Race" will get a two-hour premiere on Sunday, Sept. 27, which accounts for the delay in the "Three Rivers" premiere.
Here's the full rundown (all times Eastern):

Thursday, Sept. 17
8 p.m. "Survivor: Samoa"

Monday, Sept. 21
8 p.m. "How I Met Your Mother"
8:30 p.m. "Accidentally on Purpose"
9 p.m. "Two and a Half Men"
9:30 p.m. "The Big Bang Theory"
10 p.m. "CSI: Miami"

Tuesday, Sept. 22
8 p.m. "NCIS"
9 p.m. "NCIS: Los Angeles"
10 p.m. "The Good Wife"

Wednesday, Sept. 23
8 p.m. "The New Adventures of Old Christine"
8:30 p.m. "Gary Unmarried"
9 p.m. "Criminal Minds"
10 p.m. "CSI: NY"

Thursday, Sept. 24
9 p.m. "CSI"
10 p.m. "The Mentalist"

Friday, Sept. 25
8 p.m. "Ghost Whisperer"
9 p.m. "Medium"
10 p.m. "Numb3rs"

Saturday, Sept. 26
10 p.m. "48 Hours Mystery"

Sunday, Sept. 27
7 p.m. "60 Minutes"
8 p.m. "The Amazing Race" (two hours)
10 p.m. "Cold Case"

Sunday, Oct. 4
9 p.m. "Three Rivers"

Re: 2009 Fall Schedules

NBC spreads out its fall premieres
By Rick Porter | June 25, 2009 12:18 PM

NBC had already announced that "The Jay Leno Show" would premiere a week before the official start of the 2009-10 TV season. The network will take its time rolling out the rest of the fall schedule, though.
Leno's prime-time show will premiere Monday, Sept. 14 and run every weeknight at 10 ET. Two other nights of programming -- "The Biggest Loser" on Tuesdays and the Thursday comedy block -- will also debut that week, while the Monday, Wednesday and Friday shows will join them the week of Sept. 21, when Nielsen starts counting ratings for 2009-10.
The Thursday schedule will include, for three weeks, another round of "Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday" at 8 p.m., followed by "Parks and Recreation," "The Office" and newcomer "Community." The latter show will shift to 8 o'clock on Oct. 8 to make room for an hour-long "Office." Emmy winner "30 Rock" will join the party late again, debuting its fourth season on Oct. 15.
Also of note: "Heroes" will have a two-hour premiere on Monday, Sept. 21, which will push the debut of "Trauma" to Sept. 28. "Saturday Night Live" will kick off its season on Sept. 26.

The full rundown (all times Eastern):
Sunday, Sept. 13
7 p.m. "Football Night in America"
8:15 p.m. "Sunday Night Football" (Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers)

Monday, Sept. 14
10 p.m. "The Jay Leno Show" (airs every weeknight)

Tuesday, Sept. 15
8 p.m. "The Biggest Loser"

Thursday, Sept. 17
8 p.m. "Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday"
8:30 p.m. "Parks and Recreation"
9 p.m. "The Office"
9:30 p.m. "Community"

Monday, Sept. 21
8 p.m. "Heroes" (two hours) >>

Wednesday, Sept. 23
8 p.m. "Parenthood"
9 p.m. "Law & Order: SVU"

Friday, Sept. 25
8 p.m. "Law & Order"
9 p.m. "Southland"

Saturday, Sept. 26
8 p.m. "Dateline NBC"
11:30 p.m. "Saturday Night Live"

Monday, Sept. 28
9 p.m. "Trauma"

Thursday, Oct. 8
8 p.m. "Community" (new time period)

Thursday, Oct. 15
9:30 p.m. "30 Rock"

Re: 2009 Fall Schedules

At least NBC's opening the night with SNL Thursdays, so I don't have to tune in until 8:30. Killing that half hour was a pain when it was in the middle of the Thursday lineup.

 Maura Tierney illness delays 'Parenthood'

NBC drama postpones production, moves to midseason

NBC's Nora O'Brien dies on 'Parenthood' set
NBC's new fall drama series "Parenthood" has been pushed to midseason because of an illness of one of the stars, Maura Tierney.

The series, a contemporary reimagining of the 1989 feature, had been scheduled to begin filming July 27. The production start of the Universal Media Studios/Imagine TV-produced show is now tentatively scheduled for late September.

"Start of production on NBC Universal's new series 'Parenthood' has been postponed for eight weeks due to medical evaluation that valued cast member Maura Tierney is undergoing," NBC said in a statement. "The top priority for NBC, Universal Media Studios and Imagine Television is the well-being of Ms. Tierney. We are unable to release further details and ask that you respect her privacy at this time." 

"Parenthood" revolves around four siblings (Peter Krause, Tierney, Erika Christensen, Dax Shepard) and their parents (Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson).

As a result of the delay, NBC is making a change on its fall schedule.

"Parenthood" had been slated to premiere Sept. 23 and run in the Wednesday 8 p.m. hour.

With "Parenthood" pushed, new drama "Mercy," which was to take over the Wednesday 8 p.m. slot in midseason, will launch in the fall. The cast and crew of the medical drama have been summoned to start work on the series early to have it ready for a September debut. It is not clear yet if "Mercy" will air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. as NBC is re-evaluating its fall scheduling plans.

This is the second time filming on "Parenthood" has been put on hold under unfortunate circumstances. In April, production on the pilot was shut down for two days after NBC's vp drama Nora O'Brien died unexpectedly on the Berkeley, Calif., set of the show.

Tierney, 44, who has been public about her long struggle to quit smoking, is best known for her 10-year stint as Dr. Abby Lockhart on "ER," for which she earned an Emmy nomination.

She also starred on another Peacock series, comedy "NewsRadio," and has appeared in a number of features, including "Insomnia" and "Baby Mama."

"Parenthood" -- whose cast also includes Potter, Sarah Ramos, Mae Whitman and Miles Heizer -- was penned by "Friday Night Lights" creator Jason Katims, who is exec producing with Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.

"Mercy," from writer/exec producer Liz Heldens and exec producers Gretchen Berg, Aaron Harberts, Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun, chronicles the lives of the staff at Mercy Hospital through the eyes of three nurses (Taylor Schilling, Michelle Trachtenberg and Jaime Lee Kirchner).

The cast of the series also includes James Tupper, Guillermo Diaz, Delroy Lindo, James LeGros and Diego Klattenhoff.

It seems like shows I'm following are becoming fewer and fewer. I'm not really complaining, since there's only so much time, but it's an interesting development.

I'm sure this will be useful for some people other than myself.  Since I upgraded to Windows 7, I have to reenter my series recordings, and it works best to do so when they're currently in the guide  (aka within two weeks from the data).

So, basically this year I actually need to pay attention to premiere dates again, and found this:

Of the new shows this fall only V, Flash Foward and Trauma catch my interest. Who knows what will develop. Network tv is becoming and less and less interesting to me. Too many reality shows. Oh, I might catch Leno at 10 pm depending on his guests.

Yes, TV on DVD is great. The dreck to good stuff ratio on broadcast is much worse than it used to be, but since I have no control over that, why complain? I'll just not tune in.

As for what's on broadcast that I'll watch: Law & Order (not SVU or CI), NCIS and (most nights) Leno.

Silver lining: it leaves lots of time to do something useful!

Helpful, but at least one of the dates on the calendar is wrong. Dollhouse premieres on 9/25, not 9/18. I'm not sure why it hasn't been updated.

I know you're talking about the Zap2It link but a new thread was started here with (presumably) correct dates.

I guess the only new show I'm mildly interested in this year is V.  I may give the Forgotten a chance since I liked My Own Worst Enemy, and I'll probably check out the Chevy Chase show (though there is almost no chance I'll be interested in that, given the premise), but I'm mainly down to returing shows.

Me too. I may take a look at V (since I enjoyed the lovely and talented Elizabeth Mitchell's work on Lost) and maybe Community but those are the only new network shows that even remotely interest me. Usually by this time of year, there's some show that has good critical buzz that makes interested enough to take a look but it seems pretty empty this year.

Nobody interested in Flash Forward?  Seems like it will be a decent holdover in a sort of similar-ish genre until Lost returns.

I am very interested in FF, though I am somewhat apprehensive to start another show that requires as much dedication as Lost does
but we'll be there for the pilot and hooked shortly thereafter for sure.
 
I have heard that filming the pilot required closing down a major highway in L.A. for parts of three days and is said to make the Lost pilot look like a small airplane wreck....oh yeah, we're all over it.

I know enough to know I don't know enough!
