Chuck is going to be over by February?
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I SEE NO COMMUNITY.
ReplyDeleteMY WHOLE BRAIN IS CRYING.
Where the heck is Awake?
ReplyDeleteWait... where the heck is Awake?
ReplyDeleteyes cause its only 13 episodes
ReplyDeleteOh NBC... The Not Brilliant Corporation.
ReplyDelete1) Keeping Whitney.
2) Killing Community.
3) Shafting Awake.
4) Losing Prime Suspect. (It's actually v.good, but I can sort've understand this one...)
Well I might as well delete this channel from my lineup. sigh
ReplyDeletenothing to watch :( oh! except the office
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like NBC has enough faith in Grimm to keep it until after the Hiatus and give it Saturday replays... That is a positive sign for the series. At least for now.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm not a big fan of law series , I am almost excited to check out The Firm. Ok maybe interested is a better word than excited. Such a strong cast!
The only thing I can think of is that it will premiere even later than this schedule because of the production halt they took to retool and tighten up the stories last month.
ReplyDeleteNot a positive sign even if that is the reason.
:(
Glad Whitney is now moved to WED, Now NBC comedy Night can be gold from 8-10 (gonna miss Community thou it was perfect paired with parks and rec)
ReplyDeleteLaw and Order SVU is another great show to watch
ReplyDeleteGrimm is the latest beneficiary of NBC's need to fill out their low-rated schedule. Previous beneficiaries include Mercy and Chase. I'd have to imagine when the decision was made among the NBC brass to extend Grimm's run for a full season, at least one of the execs must have said "it'll have to do."
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about it.. but is it okay to pick up this late in the show? hasn't it been on for a while?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on being a beneficiary of a terrible schedule, but Grimm has seriously outperformed expectations.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anybody thought it would get over 5 million a night against Fringe and Supernatural. It's one of the very few NBC series in the last two years to do so. I bet they're actually fairly pleased to give it a full series (and replays on Saturday) not just doing it to fill their schedule out of need.
That said, getting 5 million viewers a night is nothing to necessarily brag about either! XD
I think you should be able to start watching it now without too many issues.
ReplyDeleteEach episode is one case where the cops pursue the perpetrator of the crime and the lawyers try the case once he is apprehended.
You might miss out on a few of the personal inside jokes for the characters or wonder who they are and how they relate to one another etc. That should not stop you from enjoying the episodes though.
Thank you, NBC !
ReplyDeleteThis may sound odd, considering I wanted to tell the people running the network to go fuck themselves an hour ago because of Community's cancellation (but it wasn't a cancellation so I withdrew that comment about them being fucking idiots), but when you take a look at this schedule, it does look like Community has a genuine shot of getting a fourth (and final) season.
Because the way I see it, NBC signed Whitney's death : the show is starting the Wednesday night (in front of American '25 million viewers' Idol), right before a predictible flop (Are You Ther... yuk, even the title is boring already) and a show currently flopping on Mondays (Williams' show), before L&O SVU (having its worst ratings ever nowadays). Whitney 'I poison network TV with my out-of-date sitcoms' Cummings cannot and will not survive this, even if I have to hunt down like animals the people still watching her show.
Other than Community's hiatus, I'm happy with NBC's programming on Thursdays : I love 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation is the best comedy on network TV (and Community is #2 !), I always like watching The Office (although the show is way past its prime) and Up All Night, while less funny than all the aforementioned comedies, is worth watching, if only for Christina Applegate/Will Arnett duo. And The Firm intrigues me, plus it's a serialized thriller so I'm in.
I will be sad to see Chuck go on January 27 (let's hope the last episodes of the show will be better than the beginning of the season, which is not really good) but I'm happy than Grimm is given a shot, I really never expected the show to work well. Also, let's hope Smash will live up to the hype and be an anti-Glee. But the main thought I have, watching this scuedule, is that I can't wait for March, for new Community and Awake.
I'm sure that seeing Grimm's numbers next to Chuck's every Saturday morning when the ratings come out doesn't hurt either. Compared to that show, Grimm must seem like a schedule rock star.
ReplyDeletegood to know.. maybe I'll check it out! thanks for the recommendation :)
ReplyDeleteI just remembered Smash!
ReplyDeleteWith so much incredibly positive press I'm looking forward to it despite it not being my type of series.... Looking forward to it even!
what happend to awake??? i want awake!
ReplyDeleteKind of piles everything on Sunday for me. That's OK. It could get interesting.
ReplyDeleteI was so hoping my beloved "Parenthood" still had a chance to get the back-four order. What a shame it's ending the season already in February. Hopefully the DVD will come out earlier then...
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I'm sad about "Community" being benched, but I'll live through the hiatus. At least they have a full season. (Very happy about "Harry's Law" getting a full season too.)
Also, I was expecting to see "Bent" here, and its absence must mean NBC is saving it -- along with the very low-key "Best Friends Forever" -- for spring. Which, given NBC's track records for launching newcomers this late into the TV season, probably renders those two doomed. ("Love Bites" and "Friends with Benefits", remember?)
How many episodes of "Are You There, Chelsea?" do you think will air before it's canned?
