The new schedule is out already, I thought we would not find out until the upfronts in May. Is every network going to do this?
in its press release here:
http://nbcumv.com/release_detail.nbc/nbcuniversaltelevision-20080402000000-nbcrevealscomplete.html
NBC claims earliest release of schedule ever. I don’t get the sense this will push ABC, CBS, and FOX to follow-suit, but we’ll see.
SNL Thursday Night Live? I clicked through to the press release and didn’t see anything about what that is. A clip show, or original programming?
Sean, you need to scrolllllll (it was a ways) down.
SNL THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE – Dubbed “TV’s funniest and most influential political player” by Entertainment Weekly, “SNL” expands its “Weekend Update” coverage to Thursdays in primetime for three live half-hour shows beginning October 16. With all of the excitement and attention around “Saturday Night Live” during the presidential primaries, the anticipation for the show’s take on this Fall’s election will be at a fever pitch, “SNL Thursday Night Live” will keep the momentum — and the laughs — going. The program is a production of Broadway Video in association with SNL Studios. Lorne Michaels is the executive producer.
just like this season, I’ll watch Law and Order:Original Recipe and nothing else on NBC..sorry old bird
sounds like 4th place to me.
Ugh. That’s it? Nothing new. Nothing original. And certainly nothing exciting.
Are they seriously turning that Ford commercial into a series? Please, tell me the networks have not resorted to this. It was “ok” as a movie but I’m not going to watch the series. I’m all for product placement advertising but this is over the top. Give me back the Trans Am KITT!
Why isn’t MEDIUM on for the entire season!!!??? This season has been the best by far. NBC does this every few years…they get people hooked and then BAMM!!! They push a show to the side until we lose the show time slot and then forget it was on at all. This is just like Just Shoot Me.
John, I woder if the answer to your question might in some way be tied to this table representing shows with the highest % of 18-49 users. There are many, many NBC shows in that list, but Medium is not one of them.
While I am fairly impressed with the stability of Medium’s ratings and its performance @10pm, as we learn about how the TV business works, we wonder if the metric used in that table i linked to above isn’t used by network execs in scheduling (and renewal) decisions, especially at NBC & FOX.
Are you kidding me? NBC is cancelling Las Vegas and trying to revive that brutal-then-and-likely-will-be-now show Knight Rider??? Are they nuts? Let the oldies be just that (Bionic Woman too!), oldies. What’s next a remake of Gilligan’s Island – the cast of Las Vegas would be a sexy choice for the castaways!
what is the daytime fall schedule who is replace montel why all the secrecy?
Montel is syndicated, which means it airs at different times on different stations. You'll have to wait to see what your affiliate replaces it with.
WHEN WILL SEASON 5 OF THE OFFICE BEGIN?
The Office's fifth season is scheduled to begin on Thursday, 9/25
I no longer watch NBC regularly. I have always been a Law & Order fan (all three) but when they dropped CI (my favorite) from the NBC lineup. Now I just wait for L&O reruns whereever I can find them. The only other program I watched was Medium and I still haven’t figured out what is going on with that. NBC’s programming is pathetic. Of course being older and out of the 18-49 age group, the networks really don’t care about my opinions. If they did the reality programs and stupid game shows would be gone.
