I'm lost just reading over this schedule... and networks wonder why shows don't catch on. If you keep a good show in a time slot consistently and actually advertise it.. then eventually viewers will come. If you jerk a show around then preempt it for two months (like they are going to do with The Event).. you shouldn't be shocked if the ratings never go up or even drop.

The Event should be scheduled like how ABC scheduled LOST... mid-season and playing for 22 weeks straight without any interruptions. Serial dramas/soaps don't work well if you interrupt the flow. jmho

I agree about serialized shows. It sucks that the event will be off for over 2 months. I like what NBC did with the Thursday comedy line up. I was looking forward to Love Bites but I guess that won't air until the spring now.

The Event is such a crappy show, I stopped watching it a while ago.

I love Parenthood and I am so disappointed that NBC will put it on Mondays in March opposite Castle and Hawaii: Ripoff. :(

30 Rock was renewed for another season BTW (probably the show's last one).

Yeah, I don't see how Parenthood can do better rating wise on Monday nights when it is up against these two shows. This is a tough match up for Parenthood.

Finally we agree on sth. again.

"Harry's Law" is the ONLY new show I want and will check out this season. I'm optimistic that it will be a good show thanks to Kathy Bates - so NBC better not f*ck it up.

The prospects are slim though with those overall crappy ratings at NBC - what kind of lead-in can this show get? Basically none. So I hope the audience will be there and look as much forward to it as I...

This is exactly why I didn't watch this show after the debacle of Persons Unknown. I expected it to follow the same format of bad or convoluted writing and eventually being shuffled around the schedule. Heck, NBC didn't even bother airing one PU episode, only putting it online instead. I stuck with PU only because I'd invested the time to watch it but I knew it was a limited series...if NBC had changed their minds and renewed it, I wouldn't have bothered watching anymore.

I don't understand NBC promoting the hell out of shows only to sabotage them so much.

Is that the show starring the actress from Ugly Betty (the one who played the snarky receptionist?). If so, I've heard that the actress became pregnant thus making the show about a virgin obsolete so they had to retool it. The last I read, I think it's going to be a late-spring show.

    • Totally different scenario. Wayne chose to leave, the character was killed off. Many months later,John appeared-plastic surgery was mentioned , he had amnesia etc. It wasn't like Drake was on the day after Wayne left. I'm still adjusting to Nu Ted .He doesn't have the physicality/presence of Maurice. And if they weren't happy with the actor nor bringing it, Martin, Derek and Tomas would be out also.
    • They've added Billy's house. But we don't see 6 or seven sets per episode. Instead it's CL,GCAC,Society and Jazz Lounge everyday and if we're lucky a home or office set. So many characters don't have a home or workplace. And I think they could be clever and use a basic set as an office for different characters. eg hide a window with a bookcase, move a new desk to a different position, new furniture, artwork etc . But I guess that requires a crew and that isn't in the budget.
    • Natalia is back. GH is becoming ff material once again. It's a shame they can't keep up the momentum they had two weeks ago. Lucky is a loser and so is Frank.
    • I wouldn't say Y&R has the smallest budget, nor would I say DAYS has more sets. Y&R has been adding more sets⏤which is great, given their lack of an overnight set crew⏤and they're not the same set re-dressed as something else (like DAYS historically has been doing for years).
    • That’s exactly it. Entire episodes are just two people sitting in a restaurant yammering on about CEO’s or getting coffee in the middle of the night at the always empty Crimson Lights. Where did I say anything that’s wrong?
    • Anita got over being sad and guilty like whiplash. I guess she just needed a Vernon pep talk. Yeah I’m sorry I don’t see the chemistry with nu-Ted and Nicole at all. When Maurice was in the role you could truly feel they loved each other so much and couldn’t keep their hands off each other. I just don’t see this meek at portrayal giving any sort of chemistry. Couldn’t have said it better myself. I wonder how people felt in the 80’s when Drake replaced Wayne as Roman.
    • No question that DAYS has the lowest budget of all the soaps. The only way to overcome that is with good writing, which we are getting on DAYS as of late. More movement? I have to agree. DAYS just feels like it has more energy and actual physical movement among the characters. Scene after scene on Y&R is with two characters sitting at a restaurant table or on a couch having a conversation. It's static -- and it's lazy.
    • JC memoirs Not Young Still Restless she writes negatively about some people. VR memoirs The Women Who Raised Me from what I remember did not really delve into her time on Y&R. VR "novels" Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva and The Young and the Ruthless: Back in the Bubbles its pretty clear who some of the characters are based on.
    • -- I agree that they've taken Leslie's camp as far as they can take it. That works only if there's also a real character there, and we're not seeing that. Every scene with her is game-playing. -- Laura couldn't call IT to have that Notes program straightened out? I get it -- we need to see that Eva is desperately needed, even though she was hired with nothing on her resume that told us she was a tech wiz. But the only person Laura could think of to call was Eva??? -- I would feel more sympathetic to Eva if she didn't continue to cover for her mother, essentially playing both sides. Again, I get it -- we need to see a daughter traumatized by a lifetime of control by her nutjob mother. Still, there's nothing about Leslie that Eva should side with at this point. -- I had to LOL when Anita said she has to call her agent to call off the reunion concert. Huh??? You mean a concert was planned and scheduled even though we haven't heard these three sing a single damn note together?  -- Are we supposed to be taking Anita's side in this Anita vs Sharon battle? Because I'm not there. One day Anita is sad, despondent, and regretful, and the next she's firing back at Sharon and Tracy that "You two are as much to blame as I am."  -- I agree that we need to see the help hired by the wealthy on this show. It's a missed opportunity. -- I continue to like Keith D Robinson as Ted. I think he has more chemistry with Daphnee Duplaix than Maurice Johnson did.
