NBC announces spring schedule: Community set to return Mar. 15

NBC rolled out its spring schedule today, and the lineup features the premieres of new comedies Bent (which debuts Mar. 21) and Best Friends Forever (starting Apr. 4), as well as the comedic hidden-camera series Betty White’s Off Their Rockers (which also premieres Apr. 4).

But perhaps the best news is that Community will make its long-awaited return to the Thursday schedule starting Mar. 15.

NBC’s spring schedule features the highest percentage of original programs in the network’s history with only 13 total hours of repeat programming from Sunday to Friday through mid-May.

The announcements were made today by Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment.

"We are happy to have an unprecedented amount of original content on NBC this spring," said Greenblatt. "Bent, Best Friends Forever and Betty White’s Off Their Rockers are welcome additions to the Wednesday schedule, and we know that the loyal fans of Community will be pleased with its return to its home on Thursdays at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. Central)."

Following the season finales of Whitney and Are You There, Chelsea, Betty White’s Off Their Rockers premieres on Wednesday, Apr. 4 (7 p.m. CT) followed by Best Friends Forever which will air at 7:30.

Community returns on Thursday, Mar. 15 (7 p.m. CT) as NBC re-sets the night with 30 Rock shifting to 7:30 p.m., followed by The Office at 8 and Up All Night at 8:30. Parks and Recreation comes back on Thursday, Apr. 19 (8:30 p.m.) to finish its season after Up All Night has ended its 24-episode original season run in the time period.

ROCK CENTER, SVU ALSO MOVING ... TEMPORARILY
Rock Center with Brian Williams will also move one hour later on Wednesdays (to 9 p.m. CT) starting Mar. 7 for five weeks and then return to 8 p.m. on Apr. 11. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit returns with original episodes on Wednesday, Apr. 11 (9 p.m. CT) leading to its season finale on May 23.
