And they miss Undateable. Not that I am looking forward to the show or anything, but it does seems strange.
ReplyDeleteOh God, are they keeping Believe at 9?!! It will have just a few short weeks before GOT comes and blows it's ratings to smithereens!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the timeslots?
ReplyDeleteBelieve - 9:00 p.m
ReplyDeleteCrisis - 10:00 p.m
About a Boy - 9:00 p.m
Growing Up Fisher - 9:30 p.m
I've added in the known times.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that About a Boy is after "The Voice"! I'm disappointed there was no "Night Shift" on the schedule.
ReplyDeletePress release with more times (including the previews): http://thefutoncritic.com/news/2014/01/10/nbc-sets-midseason-premiere-dates-for-comedy-drama-and-reality-series-plus-olympics-comedy-previews-726415/20140110nbc02/
ReplyDeleteI wish they would stop using the word "preview" all the time. It gets confusing for me what that actually means.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michele, I've just been emailed the press release lol , I've added it to the post.
ReplyDeleteI think it will suffer Goodwin's game fate, being burned off in the summer
ReplyDeleteI like that Believe gets its first night out of The Voice, that will give it a good sample before going on Sundays.
ReplyDeleteBelieve will get a good sample airing after The Voice.
ReplyDeleteSurprised that they are holding the sunday shows until mid-march, I thought they would premiere them right after the Olympics.
Undeatable is either going to replace Sean Saves The World in april or going to be burned off on summer.
I wonder where and when that will air?
ReplyDeleteWhen are they going to air Crossbones, in the Summer? I really can't see their Sunday lineup doing well, especially with all the behind the scenes drama surrounding them.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Thursday night when Parenthood airs its run or if any of the dramas bomb on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to watch Crisis on Monday mornings (unless The Walking Dead is done by then).
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, if they were going to give up on Thursdays for the season (and we can debate that decision later), this is actually a sound plan. I don't think any show has ever had it easier to get a renewal than About a Boy will have. I realize that going all new for Sundays could go wrong but there is a lot of upside and frankly, little downside, because they probably won't do that much worse than a new season of The Apprentice. I may watch Crisis. I am aware of the Hostages comparisons but I like the trailers much better here. I will also watch About a Boy. Believe will probably be heavy serialized so I will only watch if it's renewed. I have no idea how it will work out for them and really could go either way, but that's a far better position than being a guaranteed disaster as a lot of stuff I've seen networks doing!
ReplyDeleteTWD air at 9 and Crisis airs at 10. There should be no conflict, unless you watch The Talking Dead.
ReplyDeleteI think The Night Shift should get attached to the Chicago Fire shows to succeed, it seems to fit thematically. No idea how to do that with this schedule though.
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead is an even bigger threat than Game of Thrones, even though both are huge. At least Believe will get to preview after the voice initial episodes which are always very high rated. It's not a great situation and if I had to guess I would say that it will fail, but it has a chance of going either way.
ReplyDeleteSame with Crossbones and The Night Shift.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't get what's up with Crossbones, they can't possibly WANT it to fail...
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm glad (and nope, don't watch The Talking Dead) then.
ReplyDeleteCrossbones was supposed to replace Dracula in the spring, but I don't know what happened to that plan.
ReplyDeleteHannibal will take its slot instead. I think it can go to summer. I could actually imagine it working as a lead-out of AGT in the summer.
ReplyDeleteRight, forgot about that.
ReplyDeleteI think NBC messed up the Friday Schedule. They could have premiere Grimm and Dracula in September and let Dracula air for 10 straight weeks. After that replace it with Crossbones, which would be replaced by Hannibal after it's 13 episode run. This with fit all 3 shows in the Friday 10pm slot.
Oh, ya I forgot that's going to be on too1 (probably because I don't watch it and often don't pay attention to the premiere date!)
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to fail too, especially after that Deadline report with having Jonas Pate be the new showrunner, which also revealed that one of the previous showrunners left for "creative differences" and that they were taking a mini filming break after episode 5 to decide where they want to show to go...
I kind of was hoping they would revamp it and hold out to summer, but no such luck. And I really liked the Pilot too :(
