In ratings, that is.

We told you recently about the Peacock Network getting its lowest Thursday ratings since 1987 - an average of 6.8 million viewers for the week two weeks ago - but they've already topped that. Or should be say bottomed that, averaging only 6.2 million viewers during last week's rating period.

NBC says that viewers are down on all the networks by about 10%, but I think that's just spin. I mean, there aren't many NBC shows in the top 20 and only a couple of shows that people even talk about. NBC still leads in the evening news and late night races, but that's probably small consolation.

It's really too bad, considering NBC has two of the best shows (Heroes and The Office) on the the four nets, but then again they've dumped a bunch of the best too.

NBC has just announced that they are bringing back Scrubs to Thursday night and moving the new comedy 30 Rock to Thursday too, in an effort to bring back a little old glory to the night. The two comedies will join My Name Is Earl and The Office for a new two-hour comedy block: Earl at 8, followed by The Office, Scrubs, then 30 Rock. ER, the only non-comedy on the night, will stay at 10pm. The new lineup starts on November 16.

One question remains: will the Deal Or No Deal that is currently on at 9 get moved or removed from the schedule?
