NOT BEING CANCELLED: While the Leno/Conan struggle remains unresolved, NBC's announced its post-Jay Leno Show and Olympics primetime plan, which includes an earlier-than-expected return for Friday Night Lights, Parenthood getting the primo slot out of Biggest Loser, the creatively resurgent Law & Order taking on Castle and CSI: Miami on Mondays, and miraculously, only 3 hours of Dateline.

Prediction: The Marriage Ref will suck.
ReplyDeleteMuch as NBC has really sucked with this whole Tonight Show debacle, they'll be keeping my DVR busy for the end of the pregnancy/wee hours of newborn. With Parenthood and FNL I'm in.
ReplyDeleteYAY! FNL! I was wondering when it was coming back...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of things coming back, is Humiliation ever coming back to ALOTT5MA?
Humiliation will return whenever we have a solid idea for it. We also need to figure out when it makes sense given the revised primetime schedule -- it was on Wednesdays before because we didn't talk Tuesday night tv; with the return of Idol ... well, we'll see. But we didn't want to overdo the concept.
ReplyDeleteFNL has been on for a long time. I hope they promote the hell out of it, though. Yeah, right.
ReplyDeleteI do like Humiliation.
ReplyDeleteI thought they'd fill all of the slots with Biggest Loser- that seems to be the only money maker they've got running.
I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much NBC promoted Chuck before it debuted this week. Hopefully the lack of anything else returning at the same time will allow NBC to do the same for FNL. Although, I'd like to see FNL take over the Thursday night at 10 PM slot. It probably wouldn't do as well as The Marriage Ref, but it would have more of a lead-in from 30 Rock-- and season 4 feels like an easy point to start in the show, as it's to a large extent, a relaunch.
ReplyDeletevery glad to see that FNL is coming back before the summer and agree with andrew that they did a great job of marketing/promoting the return of chuck. however, this is also the network that has "more colorful" as their slogan...so anything's possible.
ReplyDeleteThey're aiming for an all-comedy Thursday, which is a smart call. That said, Chuck at 10 on Thursday would be an interesting play.
