NBC announced its 08-09 line-up and they've apparently moved Life from Wednesdays to Fridays.

I've been informed that the Friday, 10 PM time slot is akin to a kiss of death for a lot of shows.

Oh, NBC, just when I thought you wouldn't pull a FOX, you do this!

I really hope that's not the case for Life and hoping against hope that the NBC folk change their minds.

Keeping Zen, [livejournal.com profile] pers_pineapple is doing a re-watch of Fill it Up the season finale of Life. You should all join in,the discussion's free flowing and lively.

So, last night, I was surfing the net and had somehow... ended up purchasing a copy of Life's original pilot script back when Charlie Crews was called Billy Crews.

*cough*

(Yes, apparently, I am that obsessed.)

There are three versions of the pilot floating around, the first version of the pilot, which from what I've read had a lot of different scenes from the aired pilot and the second unaired pilot whose only difference is the title card.

Merit Badge script and some speculations on Life S2 )

It's really interesting how adding and deleting some scenes changed the tone of the episode and the show. Despite some pacing issues in the pilot episode, the aired version turned out a lot better because of what they did.
