Examining NBC’s Fall 2012 Schedule

16 May 2012 5:44 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

I’m fascinated by the current state of NBC. Last among the four major networks. Kept from the very bottom by dynasty deals like the NFL and the Olympics. A shell of its former self still propping up Jay Leno for chuckles every night. But I don’t look at the wilted Peacock with schadenfreude, like many do. Instead, it’s with sadness and nostalgia. What happened?

As an ’80s kid, I grew up watching NBC’s Saturday morning block, “Saved by the Bell,” “Alf,” Cosby, and Will Smith before he was Will Smith. The national news in our house was delivered by Tom Brokaw. I watched Michael Jordan dominate the NBA on NBC. There’s an easy joke in here about “Diff’rent Strokes” and “Baywatch.” In high school and college, we’d gather around episodes of “Friends,” “Scrubs,” “The West Wing,” and other “must see TV.” Conan O »

Watch: Trailers For NBC's Upcoming Shows

14 May 2012 11:56 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Now that NBC's 2012-2013 lineup and schedule is set, the network has released trailers for some of its upcoming new series.

From a (presumably failed) adoption attempt in the trailer for Ryan Murphy's "The New Normal" to Matthew Perry's character's effort to have everyone in his grief group to share their sob stories in five seconds in "Go On," each trailer hints that the 2012-2013 will be a unique season for NBC.

Check out the trailers for "Go On," "The New Normal" and more below:

"Go On" Misery loves company. Unless you're sportscaster Ryan King (Matthew Perry) who thinks misery should just be left alone. After taking some time off, Ryan –- who recently lost his wife in a car accident -– is now ready to get back to work. And while he seems like his same old charming, cocky self, his boss won't set him back on »

NBC's 2012-2013 Schedule: 'Community' Moves To Fridays, Plus Preview New Shows

13 May 2012 12:42 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In advance of their official Upfronts presentation on Monday, NBC jumped the gun to be the first network to unveil their complete 2012-2013 schedule on Sunday.

The biggest story? "Community" is moving to Fridays, along with sophomore sitcom "Whitney," which will kick off that rather random new night of programming.

"Smash" is also being bumped -- all the way to midseason -- to make way for the premiere of "Revolution," a new thriller from J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke, which will air after "The Voice" on Mondays. And yes, that means "The Voice" will be back in the fall, giving it two cycles a year, as predicted.

NBC will also try their hand at airing comedies on Tuesday nights, with Matthew Perry's "Go On" and Ryan Murphy's "Th New Normal" getting paired together.

Also being saved for midseason are new sitcoms "Save Me," "1600 Penn" and "Next Caller," and new dramas "Do No Harm, »

TV News: NBC Fall Schedule Includes ‘The Voice,’ Six New Shows, ‘Community’ on Fridays

13 May 2012 11:36 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – NBC revealed their Fall schedule today and there were multiple surprises including comedies moving to Tuesday and Friday nights (we were wondering where all of the sitcoms would go) and a Fall cycle of the hit singing show “The Voice.” Other major news is that “Smash” is being held for mid-season. The network also revealed that six new shows — two dramas, four comedies — will premiere in the Fall.

The big news for comedy fans is that Thursdays have been tinkered with again as the final season of “30 Rock” will kick off the night at 7pm Cst, followed by “Up All Night,” “The Office,” and “Parks and Recreation.” In the 9pm Cst timeslot that was the kiss of death last season with “Prime Suspect,” “The Firm,” and “Awake,” the network has given up and will air the low-rated but inexpensive “Rock Center with Brian Williams.”

'Law & Order: Svu' Season 14 and 'Chicago Fire' picked up by NBC

9 May 2012 12:48 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

"Law & Order: Svu" will return for a 14th season in the fall, and its creator, Dick Wolf, will also have a new show on the network, "Chicago Fire."

"Svu" star Ice-t and showrunner Warren Leight tweeted about their show's renewal Wednesday (May 9). The pickup was expected after Mariska Hargitay signed a new contract in April.

"Svu" has suffered some ratings declines this season. It's averaging 7.6 million viewers and a 2.3 rating among adults 18-49, down about 15 percent from 2010-11. Among NBC's dramas this season, though, only "Smash" (3.3) and "Parenthood" (2.6) have better 18-49 numbers. With the network expected to do a pretty heavy overhaul for next season, having a little stability could be a good thing.

Wolf is also executive producing "Chicago Fire," a drama from writers Michael Brandt and Derek Haas ("3:10 to Yuma," "Wanted") about firefighters in the Windy City. It stars Taylor Kinney ("The Vampire Diaries"), Jesse Spencer ("House »
