And when it was done calculating, it decided to move “2 Broke Girls,” the season’s No. 1 new show among the 18- to 49-year-olds advertisers target, into the 9 p.m. slot long held by the network’s longest-running sitcom, “Two and a Half Men.” Wed, 16 May 2012 20:51:01 GMT http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/ellen_gray/20120517__lsquo_2_Broke_Girls_rsquo__trumps__lsquo_Two_and_a_Half_Men_rsquo_.html 2012-05-16T20:51:01Z http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/ellen_gray/20120516_Nashville_lights_for_Connie_Britton_this_fall.html ABC’S GOING a little bit country this fall.

Following days of online reports that the network had given the sitcom created by and starring Upper Darby’s Tina Fey 13 episodes to wrap things up, NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said Sunday that “we haven’t definitively said that” to the people at “30 Rock” or to those at “The Office” or “Community,” both of which will also return.
