June 27th — Spoilers from E! and Ask Ausiello

(more…)

Wow Season 5 spoilers already…

It looks like when 30 Rock returns, Elizabeth Banks won’t be a series regular now that she’s in a relationship with Jack:

Question: On 30 Rock, Jack’s lady Avery is preggo. Does that mean Elizabeth Banks is sticking around the Rock full time next season? —Andrea
Ausiello: Nope, it sure doesn’t. While Banks will definitely be back, there are no plans for her to become a series regular. As my former Scrubs costar told me back in January, “[I’m] having too much fun making movies [to commit to a TV show]. The [TV jobs] are a really fun thing to do between movie gigs.”

I wonder how they’ll wrap this up.

Tina talked to EW’s Ausiello at Monday’s NBC Upfront.  He asked her about the future of 30 Rock and how long she’d like to be on the air.

Unfortunately there’s not embedding but you can check out the interview here.

What do you think?   I’m glad Tina changed her mind from last years DVD commentary and wants to keep going.  I’m all in for a Season 6.

NBC Announced their Fall 2010 schedule today.  When 30 Rock returns for it’s 5th season, it will have a new time slot.

30 Rock will air at 8:30 Eastern next season.  NBC’s Thursday Line up will now look like this:
8:00 - Community
8:30 - 30 Rock
9:00 - The Office
9:30 - Outsourced (New Show)
10:00 - Love Bites (New Show)

Presumably, the renewed Parks and Rec will be saved for midseason.  You can see NBC’s full schedule here.

What do you think of 30 Rock’s new time?

YES!!!  30 Rock has been renewed for a 5th season today!  Community and The Office were also renewed and Parks and Rec was picked up a few weeks ago.

It’s so awesome that this show made it so far.  Congrats to the cast and crew!  We look forward to another awesome season!
