So word has come from the NBC honchos -- The Office will be moved to the 9pm/8pm Central time slot next season, going head to head with two huge shows on the other networks. No switch to an hour, although we WILL get 6 hour long episodes during the season. The hour long eps will air during the weeks when SCRUBS doesn't (they've only ordered 18 episodes of the Jay Dizzle, for shame). The rest of the schedule for Thursday looks like this: 8pm/7pm Central -- My Name Is Earl 8:30/7:30pm Central -- 30 Rock (9pm/8pm Central -- The Office) 9:30pm/8:30pm -- Scrubs I know it's gotten high critical acclaim, but I'm actually rather surprised that NBC stuck with the Thursday night comedy line-up since the ratings have been so poor. Kudos to them for believing in the block.

Yep. NBC’s official wording is little confusing, leading me at first to think we would be getting 30 episodes and that five of them would be one hour episodes. Apparently there will be 25 episodes, and five of those will be one-hour specials. (source: http://remote.lohudblogs.com/2007/05/14/nbc-picks-up-30-offices-five-one-hour-specials/)

I think the 9 pm change is great -- my kids are in bed by then :-) I\'ve spent this whole season watching with my 8-year-old son asking \"what are you laughing at?\" as I\'m trying to catch what the characters are saying. If you\'re thinking to yourself, is The Office really appropriate for an 8-year-old? -- believe me, I\'ve asked myself that plenty of times too. Most everything just goes over his head, but then they\'ll have something like Women\'s Appreciation with Michael\'s finger-through-the-fly and constant penis references...
