Is Powerless on the way out? NBC recently announced this Thursday’s episode has been bumped for a rerun of the new series Trial & Error.
Powerless follows Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens), a spunky, young insurance adjuster who specializes in covering regular people against damage caused by crime-fighting superheroes and their villainous counterparts. The cast also includes Alan Tudyk, Ron Funches, Danny Pudi, and Christina Kirk.
Season one of Powerless has been struggling in the ratings. So far, the season is averaging a .81 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.552 million viewers. Earlier, NBC chief Jennifer Salke said the network is not giving up on the series. However, bumping this week’s episode isn’t a good sign.
The episode of Powerless scheduled to air this Thursday will now debut on March 23rd.

TRIAL debuted Tuesday following THE VOICE, but apparently they were concerned enough for its chances at attracting viewers to its next serialized episode that they needed to run it again. Notice that they didn’t repeat BOTH episodes shown Tuesday, which–had this been a concerted effort to see if the mildly amusing TRIAL worked better on Thursday–I think they’d have… Read more »
