[...] Friday Night Lights returns to NBC on January 16th. I will probably do a full post that week laying out the reasons why you should be watching. [...]

and yet somehow they get to be called critically acclaimed network, I think the Super Bowl will be the only thing that get rated in this network

Last year, Football Night in America was NBC only high rated program and yet some how people give NBC around of applause.

I quess this what happen when you hype your news and late night division only.

good lord... four hours devoted to Law and Order (and L&O SVU) reruns?

I mean, why not throw Top Chef and Kathy Griffin shows from Bravo in there? At least give us proven, high quality, reality...

(speaking of which, my most recent guilty pleasure is Paris Hilton's My New BFF show on MTV.)

"my most anticipated new NBC show, Kings"

Most implies more than one...

And while I can rant about NBC's programming, their scheduling is still somewhat competent:
Heroes stays out of 24's way until the latter has gone through its (usually) explosive beginning and settles into its much more relaxed mid-season tempo.
Same deal with Life vs. Lost.
So yes, look for another NBC schedule come the beginning of January that lists their (entirely different) February+ schedule (Kings, Apprentice, etc. have yet to be mentioned. It's possible Lipstick could make a reappearance then too, but I think its CBCLTAK (Canceled but can't let the advertisers know)).
No sign of the Office not-a-spinoff either - you'd think either Kings or that would get the post-Super Bowl spot.
