We've got the fall premiere dates for 30 Rock, The Office and Law & Order: SVU below.

When you see NBC's emaciated show list, try not to blame Jay Leno personally for eating up all the airtime. It's hard to look at the pin-thin NBC lineup and not want to condemn Leno as a destroyer of (scripted) worlds, but obviously he's just a good soldier serving in the Peacock's army.
