NBC's Fall Schedule

NBC released their fall schedule today. Comedy reigns at NBC. Not only will they have a comedy block on Thursday, but they'll have it on Tuesdays and Fridays as well! Here's the gist on NBC shows that I don't watch:


  • Awake was cancelled
  • Smash was pushed to midseason
  • The Voice will premier in the fall
  • Grimm will be back on Fridays
  • Rock Center with Brian Williams will return
  • Law & Order: SVU will come back for Tuesdays
  • Whitney has been moved to 8:00 on Fridays
  • Up All Night will show at 8:30 on Thursdays
  • Dateline NBC will be on 10PM on Fridays
On shows I haven't had the chance to watch yet, because they're new:

  • JJ Abrams' 'Revolution' will premiere on 10PM on Mondays
  • Go On, with Matthew Perry, will start an hour comedy block on Tuesday, followed by The New Normal
  • Animal Practice and Guys with Kids will be on from 8-9 on Wednesdays
  • Chicago Fire: 10PM on Wednesdays
On shows I do watch:

  • Parenthood was renewed for Season Four
  • 30 Rock's final 13-episode season will be at 8:00 on Thursdays
  • The Office's likely last season will be at 9:00 on Thursdays
  • Parks and Recreation will return for Thursdays at 9:30
  • Sunday will feature football once again
  • Community has been moved to 8:30 on Fridays
Here's the over/under, negative/positive on Community:

Negative:

Friday night is a 'death slot.' Remember last year? Chuck was renewed for 13 episodes at a 8:00 time slot on Fridays. Chuck ended in January. This makes me nervous for Community. Neither Dan Harmon nor Chevy Chase have been confirmed for Season 4.

Positive:

The NBC boss said that in no way do they want to cancel Community. Instead he said that they want to create a new block because Grimm was a breakout hit on Fridays and Community will lead it in. Community fans will follow the show wherever it goes.

We can only hope for


Six seasons and a movie.

  1. Some good changes, I think. And be positive about Community! Maybe it'll be the resurgence of Friday night TV! I used to watch Dukes of Hazzard at 8 on Friday night for years!
