The only new shows I care about are midseason ones! Smash and Awake. Oh well.
When is the Event on?
It’s not. They cancelled it.
Chuck’s return is October?? Oh well
I think they’re timing it so the final episode is the Friday before the Super Bowl.
CHUCK ME!
ugh I know right? waaahhhh it’s so far away!!! =*(
Can’t wait for 9/22! Best night of comedy on TV with Community and Parks & Recreation.
Am I blind or is 30 Rock missing from this schedule? What gives?!?
It has a late season premiere.
Yeah, with 30 Rock in Whitney’s place, it would be the best scheduling setup NBC would have had in a long time.
“Series finale” of “America’s Got Talent”?
Did I miss the part where NBC was doing so well that they can afford to cancel their biggest summer hit?
Perhaps you should read it again. It says “Season Finale”
In the area where the dates are listed, it appears as “season finale.” But at the top, in the first paragraph, it says “series finale.” That’s a typo though, it’s obviously only a season finale.
I know it’s a typo.
I was hoping my smart a$$ remark would spur the writer to correct her mistake…no such luck. Oh well.
If you see Lynette’s byline on this site, assume there will be errors. She never gets her facts straight.
I like Sing-off, and I’m looking forward to Grimm.
They are going to RUIN the Sing-Off. There isn’t enough room for The Voice, AI, the X-Factor and The Sing-Off. They are all going to kill each other.
Honestly I’m glad they are running so many reality singing/entertainment competitions. This way my DVR will get a rest. Is it just me or am I the only one sick of all these shows? Give me good scripted drama, and funny, original sitcoms like Community and Parks & Parks and Rec any day.
What’s up with 30 Rock? It’s the only award winning and one of the few critically praised shows on NBC. I’m hoping “Witney” is funny and I like Parks, The Office and Community but I will miss 30 Rock in the fall.
SVU is award winning and has been incredibly praised in the past.
30 Rock’s debut is being pushed back due to Tina Fey’s pregnancy.
Wow that is really bad, there are no new shows on Nbc that I am even partially interested in. None!
Can’t wait for the return of The Sing-Off!
Not a very exciting schedule. Anxious to sample THE PLAYBOY CLUB and PRIME SUSPECT, though. After seeing the extended trailer for PLAYBOY, it’s astonishing that NBC axed Jeff Hephner (HELLCATS) for the handsome but bland Eddie Cibrian.
Chuck is on Friday now? That stinks. Thank goodness for PVRs…
Repeats on already after 2 weeks ? They don’t call it NBCheap for nothing !
I’m interested in The Playboy Club and that’s it. NBC’s series don’t really interest me outside of The Voice.
September 22 POP POP
Good one.
I didn’t know Awake was a midseason. Drat, that was the only NBC show I really cared about.
