Just NBC to go now. The easiest schedule to follow, and it probably makes the most sense - no late premieres like with ABC & FOX.

What a forgettable list of shows, except Mentalist, Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife (the latter being probably being the best TV show on any network in the 2010-2011 season).

 

I see only two types pf shows here: procedural/murder solving dramas + $h!tty comedies (bar BBT of course (still, except season 3 which is dull overall)).

Edited by (((( PAVEL ))))

I think the new batch of shows is perhaps the strongest its been in quite a few years

 

I think the Chelsea Handler sitcom will be a huge hit. I had no idea it was Donna from That 70's show playing her. She has ditched the red hair and gone blonde.

Finally the NBC dates:

 

Tuesday 13th September - Parenthood

Wednesday 14th September - Up All Night, Free Agents

Monday 19th September - The Sing Off, The Playboy Club

Tuesday 20th September - The Biggest Loser

Wednesday 21st September - Harry's Law, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit [+ time period premieres of UAN & FA]

Thursday 22nd September - Community, Parks & Recreation, The Office, Whitney, Prime Suspect

 

Friday 21st October - Chuck, Grimm

All of the fall NBC stuff I'm interested in (Whitney, Playboy Club, Free Agents and perhaps at a push Up All Night) coming relatively soon then. It's pretty exciting to think we're only 9 or so weeks from the beginning of the new season now. That'll fly by in no time at all.

I'm still waiting to find out when Smash, Alcatraz, Good Christian Belles, Scandal and Awake are going to be airing. I think they're all mid-season airings, so when do we usually find out for those?
30 Rock is airing midseason too I'm guessing?

Thats because Tina Fey is pregnant

 

I am annoyed about Cougar Town being midseason. I won't be suprised if it aint axed in the next year. I have never found an American sitcom so funny and indentifieable. The humor is my humor all over.

I think mid-season dates can be announced anytime from November. Last time FOX announced their's at the end of November, but CBS didn't announce until just before Christmas.

 

I might predict Monday 6th February for Smash. It's going behind The Voice, which has the post super bowl slot on February 5th. If NBC have any sense, to keep momentum going they'll have The Voice on again the night after, with Smash starting then (after getting a lot of promo during the SB).

 

Alcatraz will be Monday at mid-season. I don't know if any of the others have a specified time slot yet, Good Christian Belles would probably work well paired with DH, and in that case we'll need to see what fails out of Pan Am & Once Upon A Time.

:wub: I love you.

 

But yeah, I am worried that it might be axed. At least it lasted longer than Dirt :lol:

Now Dirt was a fantastic show. That was the show where i thought "wow, Courtney is actually quite versatile and can pull off quite a reasonable dramatic performance". If i had my way, i would give her Jennifer Aniston's career minus the countless $h!tty rom coms.
Dirt was fabulously awful but I thought Courteney was really one-note and unlikeable in it.

She really played a watered down Gale Weathers but I still enjoed it. Lots of sex in it :kink:

I'd best not go into how talented she is :lol:

So, you'd want her to have no career then? :P

 

 

Haha, no not like that

I mean all the fuss and success. Which is what Jennifer has had. Jennifer is good actress but she plays the same characters. Only one film has ever shown her true abillity as a film actress and that was The Good Girl. She was brilliant. Miles away from Rachel green and all the other rom com's she did. She wasn't even nominated and I believe was worthy of an Oscar nomination.

Hitfix.com is currently reviewing most of the pilots for this season with one new review up each day. Of what's been written about so far Awake has had the most positive review (it's pretty gushing). Apt 23 is the best-received comedy so far. The reviewer really hated I Hate My Teenage Daughter and Unforgettable and was pretty tough on Grimm and Charlie's Angels too. Good reviews for Up All Night, 2 Broke Girls and Playboy Club (but reservations about Eddie Cibrian in the lead male role). Hart Of Dixie and Once Upon A Time not bad either apparently. The reviewer mentions in passing that Revenge despite not being great is much stronger than Ringer which s/he hasn't reviewed yet.

 

Show: "New Girl"

The Pitch: "So we've got Zooey Deschanel and..." "Stop! SAY NO MORE!"

Quick Response: It's going to sound like a weird comparison, but "New Girl" is like FOX's sitcom equivalent of ABC's "Castle." When "Castle" first premiered, ABC was making a simple contract with viewers: If you find Nathan Fillion charming and promise to ask *nothing* else of a quirky crime procedural, we can promise you 44 minutes of Nathan Fillion being charming EVERY week. ["Castle" has become a bit more than that, thanks to Stana Katic, but that's still the basic backdrop of each episode, three seasons later.] With "New Girl," FOX is making an equally simple contract: If you find Zooey Deschanel utterly and completely irresistible and demand little more to a single-camera comedy beyond Zooey Deschanel's particular brand of twee majesty, we can offer you 22 minutes every week.
