Well it looks like I won’t be watching NBC this year.
How kind of them to move Chuck out of its usual time slot. I am sure ratings will only go up now that they have moved it to Friday.
It’s Chuck’s final season anyway so there isn’t as much pressure to perform well.
When I first started reading, I thought this was a joke article where every listing was going to be football.
Yep won’t be watching any NBC shows until October 21st. Oh well.
Chuck is the only thing on the lineup I’m interested in. I dread seeing the lineup next year.
I pretty much gave up on NBC when they cancelled Undercovers,The Event and The Cape…All they left me with was Chuck..
I am looking forward to checking out Grimm, and I’m curious to see what they do with Americanizing Prime Suspect… which in itself is kinda funny, since The Closer was inspired by the original British series, with Helen Mirren’s character being the direct model for Kyra Sedgwick’s character.
Other than wondering if any of these series debuts will move up if football is delayed, there’s zero else on this list I want to check out. Wow… for me that’s a big downturn from last year’s initial lineup.
