Re: NBC's Fall 2011 Schedule
I'm very excited about Grimm, but in that slot after something like Chuck it's going to do well to actually air all the initial order. I'll take what Greenwalt I can get, I guess.
The comedies all sound wretched. I'm pissed they canned Outsourced for this shit.

Even more reason to wait on the DVD if it survives, which I can't imagine it will.

If you've seen Hellcats on The CW, this was the original actor cast in Cibrian's role on Playboy Club. Jeff Hephner. Apparently he bombed at the Pilot table read and was immediately replaced.
I'm disappointed that NBC didn't cut actual trailers for these new shows. All I see on their site and others is these scene clips, which really do nothing for me is getting a feel for what the show is about.

Despite that blurb about this being the final season of Chuck and the boot to Friday's... looking at that schedule, chances of a full season look promising.

Re: NBC's Fall 2011 Schedule
This schedule is obviously catering more towards female audiences than men. I see there is quite a few new female-centered shows. I think NBC's new President is trying for the most part to play it safe, especially with Comcast taking over. I know the message board fans like us probably aren't happy since there isn't any geeky heavily serialized science fiction or action shows. But, can anyone blame him? All the serialized action, science fiction and procedurals from this past season failed and some badly. I think he had no choice, but to go in a different direction. The most expensive show appears to be The Playboy Club since it's a period drama. Awake seems to be the only new drama that could get some male action viewers, however it's not even on the schedule yet.
But, hey it's still better than this piece of shit schedule:

Re: NBC Announces Fall 2011-12 Schedule
/\ I kind of hope not. I like Chuck a lot, but it seems as though the show works better when they have a conclusion mapped out. I afraid that a last-minute back-9 pickup would result in spinning the tires for those final episodes. I'd prefer to see it go out strong and focused.

Re: NBC Announces Fall 2011-12 Schedule
TVLine: You only ordered 13 episodes of Chuck. Any chance you’ll increase that number?
NBC prez Bob Greenblatt: I don’t think so. Unless suddenly we have 10 million viewers watching it on Friday night, then it would.

Well, if they (about the back 9) know when filming around episode 8-9, they could easily create/alter the arc. Whatever. 13 episodes is fine with me. Ready for this one to be over.

Hmmm. Awake sounds promising as does Grimm.

I'll probably watch football, SVU (on occasion), Grimm and Awake. I'm curious as to how Grimm stacks up to the ABC show Once Upon a Time.

Re: Chuck
I agree with both of you, I just think if everything slated for the fall fails(this IS NBC after all), having a familiar face on the schedule might seem more attractive than an entire new slate of shows in January. I'm fine with the 13, I just wouldn't be surprised if they pull another 9 out of the hat.

I've seen the UK version of Prime Suspect so I'll give this one a shot.
