What’s Hot On TV Tonight – 30 Rock Is Back!

30 Rock is back! I’m not sure why, but they always start later than the other series. It’s most likely just some good shuffling on the part of the programmers. It allowed Community  to get a head start in audience, attached to The Office, and now that it starts off the night, 30 Rock can move back in to its natural spot. Did it work? Are you watching Community now?
