NBC has moved The Firm to Saturday night's to die a death and moved Grimm into its slot until March 1 when it will premiere Awake with Jacob Isaacs, which is destined to fail miserably as it is created by Kyle Killen. No word yet on Community.

Awake looks good. I'm glad I'll finally have a (short) window to see if it capitalizes on the promise of its trailer.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 3 February 2012 20:32 (1 year ago) Permalink
"The Firm" isn't terrible, but there is absolutely nothing essential about that show.

It's a pretty by-the-numbers legal show. Josh Lucas is a little earnest AT ALL TIMES, though.

I wonder if the fact that ER was in that slot for so, so long left it cursed for anything that follows. Has any NBC show lasted an entire season at 10pm on Thursdays yet?

Here's the trailer for Awake, btw, in case anyone's forgotten the premise:
Jack's imaginary son from Lost's 6th season and the girl who was in The 4400 and Terriers! Also, BD Wong! Playing another psychiatrist!

Is Awake the one with Jason Isaacs? I vowed to watch that show when I heard about it, but I'm sad we're not getting a third hour of comedy/Community's return.

Also 30 Rock got a 1.3 in the demo last night, which is just appallingly bad, but it might be related to that DVR glitch a bunch of us reported experiencing yesterday. Parks and Rec otoh was up from last week.
― ban opinions (reddening), Friday, 3 February 2012 21:35 (1 year ago) Permalink
i thought the whole thing w/ the low ratings of shows like 30 Rock was that their numbers would look better if DVRs and other recording devices were counted?
― pfunkbo bryson (some dude), Friday, 3 February 2012 21:42 (1 year ago) Permalink
DVR ratings don't come out for a bit. That 1.3 is live and yes, it is shockingly bad.

saw Smash premiere. thought it was good enough that i'll watch another episode but it didn't blow me away. it feels like it's trying to be a cable drama on network. big ensemble cast, high production values. obv no cursing, nudity or decapitations. i guess NBC is very invested in this doing well?

this close to getting off the smash wagon. so much mediocrity. that scene between debra messing + her son was so hammily acted and so lazily written i was in physical pain.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 04:05 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah the stuff with the son was incredibly awful, although i liked the rest of the episode fine, and i figure soon enough they'll realize what a drag the family stuff is and stop bogging down the show with it

Switched At Birth started out as a show that other people were watching while I was in the room doing other stuff, but I'm surprised to find that I'm getting into it. Turns out that dismissing it as just another execrable ABC Family original program (and the others I've seen have, indeed, been execrable) was a mistake. It's very low-key and nothing earth-shattering (aside from maybe its casual and even-handed handling of deaf culture, including long and silent stretches of characters ASL-ing) but also quite smart and engaging. And I really like the cast. I thought I'd pimp it a bit since I couldn't find any mention of it on ILX, and especially since most people with discerning tastes are unlikely to trawl through the wasteland of ABC Family for descent programming (although things might be turning a corner there with the inception of Amy Sherman-Palladino's forthcoming show?). RIYL, say, Gilmore Girls or Men Of A Certain Age.

finally watched The River pilot, ugh that was bad. i only checked it out because sepinwall had a generally positive opinion of it, but the acting was poor and the plot choices were ludicrous and it wasn't even particularly scary. v. disappointing.

AICN ratings update
Had no idea how low The Office has sunk. 30 Rock doing terrible (Whitney, on Wednesdays is beating it!) and Up All Night looks to be in real trouble even if The Office is as low as it is.
Stoked that I really got into Vampire Diaries, as it looks to be sticking around.
Also holy toledo at those Walking Dead numbers.
― encarta it (Gukbe), Sunday, 19 February 2012 07:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
30 Rock is now opposite Big Bang Theory, which is very popular now. NBC may be accepting low numbers in the realization that nothing will do well in that slot (see Simpsons vs. Cosby Show in the 80s).
― nickn, Sunday, 19 February 2012 09:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
Well they benched Community because of its ratings in that timeslot and 30 Rock is doing worse.

I know that Baldwin signed on for one more season after this so I don't think it'll get cancelled. But still.

Maybe 30 Rock has enough prestige (Fey, Baldwin, Morgan) that they think it'll pan out in the long run.

apparently a bunch of normally popular shows saw unexplained dips in their ratings this past week, across all the networks. except fucking whitney, which went UP. hopefully people tuned in thinking it was a whitney houston tribute and then immediately changed the channel when they beheld its true horror.
