What do you think? Are you looking forward to the returns of any or all of these NBC shows?
Love this show. Please leave it alone and don’t cancel.2
I LOVE A.P. Bio! I know it’s probably a love it or hate it kind of show. I just get it. It’s my kind of comedy.
I just knew it would be a matter of time before “The Voice” got cut back to one night per week. “American Idol” also cut back on its results show in its later years, and “Dancing with the Stars” got itself trimmed to airing only on Mondays after having its results show on Tuesdays. Those results shows really are a waste of scheduling for any network.
I can’t believe A.P. Bio is coming back. It’s the most mean-spirited show I’ve ever seen. The characters are uninteresting and the main character is hateful, to be blunt. I watched 3 episodes, hoping each time that the next one would be more “attractive”–HA! Awful, awful show…
nope all these show are boring but they had nerves to cancel the taken which was a 100% more interesting .exciting ..good action ..
