The extra Voice on Wednesday and Thursday is bound to give a shot in the arm to flailing new drama Chicago Fire on Wednesday and the final season of The Office on Thursday.

Smart move by NBC and should help Chicago Fire and The Office in the ratings. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up against Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory too!
