And now we're on to NBC's official announcements. What a busy day!

  • Chuck is officially coming back, thanks to the largesse of sponsor Subway. Chuck will air Mondays at 8 p.m. beginning in February, after the Olympics.
  • Heroes will take the Monday 8 p.m. time slot in the fall, new paramedic show Trauma will follow at 9 p.m.
  • My Name Is Earl star Ethan Suplee just tweeted: "Just got the call that My Name Is Earl has been canceled. They sure did take their time with that decision or rather informing us of it." Theoretically it could still go to another network, but it's leaving NBC for sure.
  • Law & Order has been renewed for season 20. Law & Order and Southland will share Friday nights at 8 and 9 p.m. respectively. (Eek!) This Jay Leno mishagas makes TV all strange and unnatural.
  • Joel McHale's Community will air at 9:30 on Thursdays after The Office.
  • Parenthood will be at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the fall, and then cede that slot to Mercy at midseason. New show Day One will air Mondays at 9 p.m. beginning in February. 100 Questions launches midseason at 9:30 on Tuesdays.
