S--- is going down at NBC when it comes to your Thursday-night viewing.

First off, let's talk about the new shows. The network just canceled Welcome to the Family (which none of us were watching anyway, right?). Sean Saves the World, not that it's any better than Family, reportedly just got an order for four more scripts. And Michael J. Fox had a 22-episode order to begin with, so you're not going to hear about that getting axed at the moment. But here comes the really bad news:

NBC just announced that it's bumping the next THREE episodes of Parks and Rec, which, I am very sorry to tell you, means no Halloween Parks and Rec on Halloween. You won't be finding out what this is until the show returns on November 14 (soon after that, it'll be put on hiatus once again).

What will you be seeing instead? More of The Voice and a Halloween-themed SNL clip special.

This is all meant to stop the bleeding when it comes to NBC's current Thursday. Turns out I wasn't the only one not buying those crappy new comedy-block promos; nobody is tuning in to this stuff. On Thursdays, the network flunks every time slot, and this isn't a case of viewers underappreciating great little shows. (Speaking of which: Community, it was just announced, will return to Thursdays beginning January 2.)
