So Carolla's NBC pilot didn't get picked up?

Welcome to two days ago. Hope you had a nice nap.

Nope! Grr.

Wow, I was hoping they would've moved Parenthood to a different timeslot, but I guess they are feeling confident.

I thought you liked Parenthood. Pretty much everyone who has watched it in this forum has liked it. I recall you mentioned that you enjoyed it.

I love Chuck, but it's a terrible lead-in for a new show like The Event, especially being a serialized drama.

All the premises for the new NBC shows have been posted.

Outsource will bomb because who wants to watch a comedy show of people who stole everyone else jobs? Yeah, people on unemployment just can't wait to see how their cheaper replacements are doing.

Outsourced just continues the interesting but strange woody NBC has for shows that contain characters from India. That's more than just an observation -- I remember Heroes-era talk of how that was a vital part of the show getting picked up.

I liked this show better when it was called Justified.

That is dumb. It is gaining momentum and that is the wrong decision to delay it. I hope Outsourced gets canceled so they push back Parks & Recreation to the Fall or Winter.

Again, Parks & Recreation did get a full 22-23 episode season. The delay isn't a huge deal IMO. If Outsourced bombs, which some people think it will, they can plug it into that timeslot with no problems.

But, if it gets delayed until January, they can probably run the full season non-stop with no repeats, which is also a good thing.

The actor who plays Jerry is responsible for this. I wonder if he pissed off some execs or something. I hate that we wont be getting any new Parks episodes in the fall.

Ahh yes, I'll continue watching Parenthood (still like it). I'll likely tune in on Monday/Thursday to check out the new shows (probably 'Undercovers' on Wed now that I think about it).

Greg Grunberg was just upped to a regular on Love Bites, so looking forward to that.

All the trailers are up now. Outsourced looks TERRIBLE, wow.

I still think the 10pm slot for Parenthood is the best for it in terms of competition. It definitely feels more like a 9pm show but if this keeps the ratings at a reasonable level then I'm all for it.

Looks like another season I won't be watching NBC.

Well, NBC is going to have to learn to bite the bullet. Either they stick with shows and give them a 2 - 3 year chance or they're going to have pilot season every season. No win-win situation in the immediate future.

Here's the trailers of the ones I think look interesting and will try:

The Event:

The Event trailer is really good! That looks so badass

It does look pretty good - and Željko Ivanek is a huge plus as it looks like he may have a big role.

Undercovers looks good too. Looks like a mix and Alias and Mr & Mrs Smith. The British chick who plays Boris Kodjoe's wife is hot!

I'm surprised how good Undercovers looks. I was expecting them to play up the comedy, but it looks like more of a slicked up drama similar to Alias, but without all of the mythology junk.

The Event looks good too.

The rest I can do without. Some, like Outsourced, make me question how they can even get a pilot signed off.

I guess I'm just going to watch NBC for football this fall.

I think Undercovers and The Cape both look good.

LOL at "The Event's" tagline: "A suspense-filled journey where the answers only lead to bigger questions." ...apparently for those who aren't burned out on LOST by season's end...
