Remember when NBC's Jeff Zucker announced the era of the scripted programming was over, and that all viewers actually wanted was reality TV and game shows? That was last week, wasn't it? Then so clever of Zucker – whose declaration was paired with 700 job cuts – to reneg on his assertion, shift NBC's scheduling, and return Thursday to its standard two-hour block of comedy.

Letting NBC entertainment chief Kevin Reilly do most of the talking, Zucker has reorganized Thursday nights once again, with the 8pm slot kicking off with My Name Is Earl and The Office, and Scrubs popping in at 9pm with 30 Rock rounding out the block. The new changes hit on Nov. 30.

Wondering what NBC staffers thought about this, we poked around with some insiders. Says one senior level peacock: "They're facing off against mostly dramas on Thursday nights. CBS has Survivor and CSI. ABC has Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty, which is the only real competition when it comes to comedy audiences, but it's a different show than what NBC is offering."

Says another NBC staffer (admittedly, a peon), just a little more bluntly: "Nobody knows what the fuck Jeff Zucker is doing. I'm not kidding. Nobody."
