NBC is desperate for the next Blacklist. That's all I got. And they hope Snipes can be their Terrence Howard.

NBC has cut the episode count from 13 to just 9 episodes.

This show was pretty bad and deserved to get cut. I wanted to like it, but it just fell flat.

Tonight was the first episode I actually liked...Go figure. I've been watching, but it never grabbed my attention as much as tonight's did. Oh well...
