THE SCHEDULING TANGO: NBC announced a bunch of schedule changes for the fall today which will be of note/interest around here:
  • Josh Schwartz's Chuck (which they've certainly been promoting heavily over the summer) replaces Deal or No Deal in the lead-off slot on Mondays (against HIMYM), making Monday an all sci-fi affair for NBC.
  • The Biggest Loser gets extended to 90 minutes on Tuesdays and The Singing Bee follows, filling the original Chuck slot.
  • Isaiah Washington to have a recurring role as a government agent on Bionic Woman.
  • Friday Night Lights and Las Vegas swap places on Friday nights (FNL moves to 9 EST), and get Deal Or No Deal as a lead-in.

Smart moves by NBC, especially moving Chuck out of a nasty timeslot (against Dancing With The Stars, House, and the generally well-buzzed Reaper) into something a little lighter, though I'm not sure about NBC's decision to apparently just put up its hands on Tuesdays at 8.
