UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – November 30, 2012 – NBC will premiere the new drama “Do No Harm” on Thursday, January 31 (10-11 p.m. ET) following the hour-long series finale of the Emmy Award-winning “30 Rock” (8-9 p.m. ET) earlier that same night. In addition, “Rock Center with Brian Williams” will move to Fridays beginning February 8 (10-11 p.m. ET) following “Dateline NBC” (9-10 p.m. ET).
The announcements were made today by Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment.
“January 31 will be a special night as one classic series will mark its finale with a great hour-long sendoff episode while a promising new drama will make its debut on Thursdays,” said Greenblatt. “‘30 Rock’ is acclaimed as a legendary comedy and we will see a truly memorable and fitting last episode. In ‘Do No Harm,’ viewers will have a unique new dramatic storyline with an exciting new star in Steven Pasquale that takes them into dark and uncharted territory.”
Details of the finale of “30 Rock” will be provided later.
“Grimm” will return to the schedule on Friday, March 8 (9-10 p.m. ET).
In “Do No Harm,” Dr. Jason Cole (Steven Pasquale, "Rescue Me") is a highly respected neurosurgeon who has it all – a lucrative career, confident charm, the gift of compassion. But he also has a deep, dark secret. One morning when he wakes up disoriented in a wrecked hotel room amidst several near-naked women he's never seen before, he knows one thing: it's happening again. Every night at the same hour, something inside Jason changes, leaving him almost unrecognizable – seductive, devious, borderline sociopathic.
This new man is his dangerous alternate personality who goes by the name of “Ian Price.” For years he's battled Ian, keeping him in check with a powerful experimental sedative. But now his – their – body has developed a resistance to the serum, setting Ian free once again. And to make matters worse, after being suppressed for so long, Ian's hell-bent on taking revenge on his oppressor. With everyone Jason cares about at risk – patients, friends, co-workers and even the woman he loves – he's got to stop Ian once and for all. Will they find some common ground, or will they bring each other down? Hell hath no fury like an alter ego scorned.
Also starring are Alana De La Garza ("Law & Order"), Michael Esper ("A Beautiful Mind"), Ruta Gedmintas ("The Borgias") and Phylicia Rashad ("The Cosby Show"). "Do No Harm" is produced by Universal Television and Traugott Company. The executive producer/writer is David Schulner ("Desperate Housewives," "The Event"). Peter Traugott ("Ringer") and Rachel Kaplan ("Ringer") also are executive producers. Michael Mayer (NBC's "Smash") is the co-executive producer and director.

nice one NBC give it a really low rated lead in thats sure to make it a hit
ReplyDeleteDang it. Grimm was supposed to be back for Sweeps and they bumped it back a month to March for Rock Center with Brian Williams. What a load of crap.
ReplyDeleteDo Not Harm sounds alot like My Own Worst Enemy that show lasted 9 episodes what makes NBC sure this might last long?
ReplyDeleteGreat Grimm and Revolution both come back in March, WTF NBC!!!!!!
March? Ugh... that sucks! March is a very long time from now. February was bad enough. Not happy about this! :(
ReplyDeleteThe only bright spot is that there will be less breaks and/or repeats when the show returns.
ReplyDeleteGrimm starts in March??? March?? Are you kidding me?? :O I've been sitting here for days, moping, 'cause I thought Grimm would start in February, but now it's March??!! How are we supposed to wait that long??? It's just not possible.
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to take a holiday in February! Perhaps it will suppress some of the suffering waiting for Grimm to come back on. *tear...
ReplyDeleteIt's longer than the break we had over the summer!
ReplyDeleteDamnit! Okay I didn't even watch Grimm then, I started watching it over a week ago and just finnished it about a week ago but still. When I start watching it, the break is longer. Just my luck-.-
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't make me feel that much better though.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. If Christian Slater couldn't make this work, who's to think Steven Pasquale will? What, was the cast of The Event too busy to try to make a third show (re: Awake)?
ReplyDeleteAwake was a really Descent Show still cant believe NBC Cancelled!!
