NBC to switch to a 52-week season

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Long overdue, IMO. With cable nets showing some real results in the summer months with shows like Rescue Me and reality shows like Ice Road Truckers, why not build a 52 week schedule.

The old days where the rerun received the same rating as a new episode are over. If we want reruns, we will buy the damn DVD.

IMO, Burn Notice could have filled some NBC time had the strike continued.....

....maybe it still could.
