NBC announces mid-season schedule, six-comedy Thursdays
‘Parks and Rec’ fans can stop whining. The Amy Poehler comedy returns to NBC on January 20, part of an all-comedy lineup comprised of six half-hour shows.
That’s just one of a spate of announcements NBC made Monday regarding its mid-season prime time schedule.
New dramas “Harry’s Law” and “The Cape” join one comedy, “Perfect Couples,” and a reality show called “America’s Next Great Restaurant” on the schedule, which also shows time slot shifts for “Law & Order: Los Angeles,” “Chase,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Parenthood.”
Check out the night-by night details after the jump.

I wanna see a new NBC comedy that involves no one who has ever had any dealings with Lorne Michaels. I am SO sick of his sense of humor, I'd rather watch paint peel that Parks & Rec or 30 Rock. And do we think it's possible that NBC might try a setup for a comedy that does not involve a mock documentary or constant mugging or Tracy Jordan?
