Why move Harry's Law? There are only 13 episodes, and they already shown 7ish, how many more can they have left to bother movign it.

And don't get me started on Community. As the guy on TVline said "Can we live in a world where Whitney is on the air when Community is not?".

 

[Corran Horn]

No Community? That blows.

 

[Skywalker]

Guess it's time to start watching old episodes of the British sitcom upon which Community is based.

 

[Harvey]

No Community? At least it will get to finish its third season. Hopefully, NBC will change their minds and let it finish a four year run (and, also, let Jeff finish his degree).

".

Judging by the March 4th date they plan on burning off the episodes after football season with the hope a summer series will be ready.

 

[Agent Richard07]

When I saw The Voice listed there, a show about some guy who hears a voice and fights crime or something came to mind, but I see that it's just a talent show.

 

[tomalak301]

Yay for 30 Rock coming back and being a complete hour of some of the best comedy on TV. I'm not even as mad about 30 Rock coming in Mid Season as I was when Parks and Recreation came back in the midseason. I just hope Fay and Phoeler are done having baby's for a while. Anyway, I've heard that Baldwin doesn't really want to do 30 Rock anymore and this might be the final season. Is that true? Also, a 30 Rock without Alec Baldwin might not be 30 Rock anymore, so it may be for the best. It was a great run.

 

[Starbreaker]

NBC has ordered more scripts for Harry's Law. I expect 16 episodes and then a cancellation. Prime Suspect is effectively cancelled.

Awake is still not scheduled. That bothers me. It'll probably take Rock Center's spot.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Wikipedia (written OH so long ago) suggests one more episode of Prime Suspect to air tomorrow?

And then they're out?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Smash looks good, I'll check out The Firm but not too jazzed about that.

Edit: Prime Suspect is shutting down production, if anyone cares.

PS, here's the Deadline article on NBC's schedule.

Missing from the midseason lineup is NBC’s ambitious new drama series Awake, which recently took an unplanned break to work on scripts.

So maybe it could still see the light of day?

Prime Suspect has been cancelled but they expect them to burn off the remaining 6 episodes.

Thank you

Now if they could just do it all in one night I would be happy.

Clogging up my fricking hard-drive with tosh.

 

[Starbreaker]

If these midseason replacements tank, what the hell is NBC going to do next? Law & Order SVU and The Office 7 nights a week?

 

[Mysterion]

Will miss Community, but having 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation as a one-hour block is fine with me.

 

[timothy]

harry's law needs to stay right were it is.
I hope prime supect is'nt cancelled it's a good show.

Yes

 

[timothy]

I liked the book and the movie so I try the show. is any one from the movie coming over?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Smash looks like Glee for grownups. I could never tolerate Glee, but Smash might work for me.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I liked the book and the movie so I try the show. is any one from the movie coming over?

The movie was made in 1993, so I kind of doubt it.
