Getting a jump on the week of network announcements, NBC released a first look at their upcoming primetime schedule for Fall of the 2010-11 season.
As was expected, NBC will have a lot of new programming on the schedule next season. When The Jay Leno Show didn’t work out, that left execs with five hours of empty space to fill. And now, they’ve also cancelled many of their under-performing shows. That means that they’ll have seven hours of new shows each week — essentially a third of their schedule. Come mid-season, you can expect even more freshman shows to join in.
New to the schedule are The Event, Chase, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Love Bites, Outlaw (formerly Garza), Outsourced, School Pride, and Undercovers.
Joining the peacock network in midseason (or sooner if other shows tank) are The Cape, Friends with Benefits, Harry’s Law, The Paul Reiser Show (formerly Next), and Perfect Couples.
Returning for a third season, Parks and Recreation, is being held until mid-season. Chuck, which was held until mid-year this season, will reappear in the fall.

YESSSSS…I LOVE LAW AND ORDER SVU, I have been watching this show forever, I NEVER MISS AN EPISODE. LOVVVVVE THAT ELIOTT STABLER. AND OLIVIA IS OFF THE CHAIN….YOU GO GURRLLLLL 🙂
dump this show.. I never plan to watch it .. I did love Mercy too .. it was sad that it didnt work out. It’s a tought business for some new show to make it a live but sometime good shows poor ratings don’t get renewed.
About Mercy, it was canceled because of poor number of viewers. 8.38 million U.S. viewers watched the premiere, only 4.01 million watched the finale, the numbers kept dropping all through the season. After the 10th episode especially, “I Saw This Pig and I Thought of You”, the ratings dropped significantly (Viewers stayed at over 7 million before that, then dropped in the 5`s and then in the 4`s and finally in the 3`s).
Get rid of all the stupid reality shows, they all suck and bring back Mercy
Mercy and Heroes are cancelled b/c they suck… SVU will continue b/c it doesn’t. No boycotting for me..
New schedule sucks, what’s with all the low budget reality shows?? Will miss Mercy thank goodness NBC is bringing back Parenthood. At least I have HBO so all is not lost.
So yea… I won’t be watching NBC at all this year. They cancelled Mercy and Heroes. I fell in love with Mercy, and have been a huge fan of Heroes since season 2. And wow… surprise surprise… ANOTHER Law And Order… Its like the damn CSI franchise… its just way too much… i truly hope that Mercy gets picked up by another network… it has a huge internet following… i really hope that NBC sees the errors of their ways… but i plan on boycotting that network anyways… their new fall line up just makes it insanely simple.
at least law and order svu will still be on!
New schedule is as bad as the last. NBC has gotten so bad that I even stopped waiting the Today show in the mornings. How can you be loyal to a station that is not loyal to you. NBC needs new management with a true feel for what the public wants. They took the good shows and kept changing their time slot so they would lose ratings and now they are trying to sell us on reality shows. Who needs Law & Order: LA, when we had the original.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
Thank God they’re bringing back Community! Absolutely the funniest show on TV right now! Not much else to get excited about on NBC though.
I was a big fan of Trauma- upset that they canceled that. Southland was a good one, NBC cancelled that and it moved over to TNT or TBS so maybe the same will happen with Trauma! Parenthood is the best!
Hate it, Mercy and Trauma were the best. Though, really enjoy “Parenthood”. Deals with real life emotions. Like The Office, but ABC and Fox beat out NBC on Thursday nights. Will have to watch The Office on demand, maybe.
I don’t like the new schedule because MERCY isn’t one of the shows in it yet they keep that stupid show The Office and it’s stupid!!! It isn’t even funny!!! BRING BACK MERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHUCK is coming back! As long as they didn’t cancel this smart, funny, and charmingly addictive Monday night winner, we’ll still watch NBC once in awhile!
