The peacock network has released the Fall 2010 premiere dates for their new and returning programs.
As previously announced, 13 weeks of The Apprentice has replaced Love Bites on the schedule. According to NBC, the show hasn’t been cancelled, just delayed until later in the season. Cindy Chupack left as showrunner and Becki Newton, who plays one of the few regular characters, is pregnant and they felt it would be too difficult to shoot around her condition. Jordanna Sparo was supposed to be part of the cast but TBS refused to release her from her My Boys contract so they ended up dropping her and eliminating her part altogether.
Here’s the official press release from NBC with the premiere dates…

What do you think? Are you looking forward to seeing any particular TV shows?
Maybe you thought that Heros was not worth continueing, well I really don’t see anything else I want to watch . you could of done better things with the show, but you decided to take that off and leave the appritice and others off. Well won’t have to worry about watching this channel this year, and I was so looking forward to another year of heros..this station really is getting worse every year.
Really, a show called “Outsourced” in the venerable time slot once held by “Cheers” and “Seinfeld?”
It better be damn good. And I must admit, of the new shows the only one that looks interesting, but COME ON, “Mercy” was an awesome show. “Heroes” went down hill after the first season so I can understand it’s cancellation, but “Mercy” ended on a REAL CLIFFHANGER, what happened to the Doctor who went back to Afghanistan.
That show was awesome. It had real depth and characters who were dealing with real life problems.
Chuck and 30 Rock are the only shows up there that i still watch….what happened to parks and rec? i know its not cancelled. and i wish they would’ve kept 100 Questions for at least 1 more season. they needed to advertise it more, as most people didnt even know about the show.
Thank you John. I’m glad theres someone else that thinks logically. I know it’s not gonna happen but hopefully they’ll wrap both shows and not just leave us hanging.
Jeremy I so agree loved both of those show so much!! Especially Mercy!! I gonna miss Rabbit
Get rid of the Football and never broadcast any pro sports team event again especially football and basketball. I just have a problem with so many high priced, pampered felons on TV.
I might check out L&O LA the only other NBC program I watch is an occasional Dateline.
Kinds looks like they want to be in last place!
Continued – And if Law & Order Trial By Jury didn’t last what makes NBC think that Law & Order Los Angeles will fare any better.
Even though I abandoned NBC after they stupidly canceled Heroes, I decided to check this out out of curiousity. WTF is with this schedule. The only shows I recognize are Chuck, The Biggest Loser, Parenthood, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Community, 30 Rock, The Office, The Apprentice, and Dateline. Before I decided to abandon NBC a lot of these shows I didn’t watch because I thought they were stupid or I just didn’t want to watch them. The other shows appear to be new and by name alone appear to suck. No, there are no shows I am looking… Read more »
Apparently NBC dosen’t have enough programs to fill all the time slotes. Saturday nights will nothing but reruns. Why don’t you schedule Saturday Night Movies on Saturday nights instead of repeats? If the viewers missed a episode or program earlier in the week they could watch it online. NBC you could do better .
There is absolutely NOTHING on the NBC schedule that I even want to watch. I guess this clears up some of my viewing schedule for other programs, and, perhaps, even the chance to live my life! 🙂
‘Friday Night Lights’ is the “BEST” show on this lousy network and they keep freaking canceling it!!!! What LOSERS!!!!!!!!!! Time to start watching ABC permanently!!! NBC YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell? Only an hour of Dateline?
That’s their best show; what idiots they are.
ouch. another year full of nothing. sucks to be you NBC.
Just like everyone else is thinking why did they cancel trauma and mercy F**KIN MORONS!!!
Really i know thats teriable now what good shows are there to watch now nothing!
