NBC's Themed Thursday Nights

Are we going crazy or is nobody else on the internet talking about the themed Thursdays on NBC?

There is a common thread running through every block of four episodes this season and it is both creative and fun to spot. Shame is, when reruns happen these coincidences will pass us by. So far common themes we've spotted in all four shows:

Blatant in episode advertising kicked it off. My Name is Earl, Scrubs, 30 Rock, and the Office all prominently featured name brands in funny ways.

Weels later there was a common theme of "strippers" in all four comedies.

Then valentine's day made for romantic episodes in all four comedies.

And this week we noticed that each comedy made refrence to an old teacher.

Ok so maybe I could have remembered the name of the teacher, or how strippers played into each episode and when the in episode advertising started. And other things. But damnit, we didn't know that we would be the only ones chronicaling this phenomenon! I hardly know how to spell chronicle!

Ok, so more competent blogs on this issue to come.
