That's right, you hate relationship comedies.

MLBFan24

It is just me, or is the synopsis on that page very difficult to read. It seems so butchered


The only reason I watch Outsourced is because I'm too lazy to move off the couch at 9:30. I guess I'll be asleep by 10:30. Oh well.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't know who Olivia Munn is?

Dragon Tattoo

Very possible.

Bill Needle

Never heard of her either.

WallyOPD

Same here.

Patman

NBC should have moved Parenthood to the Wednesday 9 p.m. timeslot, and left Chase where it was on Monday.

Groucho

Here's the Wikipedia description of Perfect Couples:

"Perfect Couples revolves around three unique couples at various stages in their relationships, yet who face similar problems."

Doesn't that describe about a zillion sitcoms?

Jimmy James

I don't see this as a death sentence for Outsourced. I'd see the 8:30 slot behind the great but getting slaughtered Community as a death sentence. NBC should be looking to maximize the 30 Rock holdover for the local news audience. They didn't choose P&R for that job. They didn't choose the new show. They chose Outsourced.

That description could apply to the current ABC shows Modern Family or Better With You.

Groucho

Apparently Munn plays a character named "Maria" who marries a much older man named "Ray".

I can't wait until the 1st Perfect Couples thread with the following quote from someone:

"Olivia Munn is hot, but can't act for shit. I'm done with this show."

I hope you're right.

Parks returning -

Michael Corvin

How Adam Carolla's shows always get passed on is baffling, considering the tripe in NBC's lineup that made the cut instead. Especially when you consider a show starring such a no talent as Olivia Munn can make the grade. Bizarre.

I'll be the lone guy to stand up and say I like Reiser. I don't know much about the show, but I'll check it out. Isn't that the one that Jorge Garcia (Hurley from Lost) is going to be on?

Drav3n

Considering the rating Hawaii 5-0 is pulling in, this show is doomed... which really sucks!


Against Modern Family? That wouldn't have went too well.

Hopefully the Thursday night lineup works, but I think its safe to say Outsourced is screwed now.

JimRochester

Would have preferred to see 30 Rock at 9:30 but Parks and Rec is a fun show.

Patman

Although Wednesday's 9 p.m. timeslot has Criminal Minds and 30 minutes of Modern Family (Cougar Town loses over 1/3 of the MF lead-in), Parenthood is a 9 p.m. show, not a 10 p.m. show, which is why it get 5 million viewers at 10 p.m., but should do better in the earlier timeslot. NBC would be happy if Parenthood could keep the L&O SVU ratings of 7-8 million viewers on Wednesday at 9 p.m. L&O SVU should be able to still snag 7-8 million viewers in the 10 p.m. timeslot, be it on Monday-Wednesday. IMO, NBC gains a net 2 million viewers by moving Parenthood to a 9 p.m. timeslot.

My Other Self

I'm glad Community is still holding up at 8. I hope it stays.

DJariya

Considering Chase is barely hovering around 5M viewers and about 1.5 in the demos, I think Parenthood will probably pull in about the same numbers in the Monday at 10pm timeslot. One of the problems I read for Parenthood is more than half it's audience doesn't watch the show live (all DVR) probably because it's on at 10pm and families can't watch it together.

Fist of Doom

You're not alone.

I was looking forward to that show.

chowderhead

bad news for the Event. Sounds like this is a one season and done series. No way it recovers from a Flash Forward hiatus.

NiCK Crush

Thought they would have just dropped Outsourced. Pumped for Parks & Rec coming back.

calhoun07

I could careless when they air them as I watch them On Demand. But since I watch them On Demand I was unaware of the hatred for Outsourced around here. I love the show...it's my favorite new comedy right after Raising Hope.

RichC2

I don't hate the show, I just think it's boring.

Evan Meadow

We'll see. Most people like the move to Mondays just so its not competing against Good Wife.

Granted, having Chuck and Cape as lead ins is a bit odd, but who knows?
