We have much to do, and we had to make some significant changes, "the new president of entertainment Robert Greenblatt says THR days before the network before the presentation.
NBC will bow down to six of the 12 new series this fall as the new entertainment president Bob Greenblatt attempts to reconstruct the network ratings challenged. If it's a lot of new problems to throw at the hearing, the pressure is on the network to start at least out of his depression.
"We have much work to do and we had to make some major changes," Greenblatt told The Hollywood Reporter.
The network will establish a new comedy night on Wednesdays with Christina Applegate single-camera comedy Up All Night at 8:00 lead-off spot, followed by the agents of Hank Azaria rom-com name.
Greenblatt characterized by the need of a play outside of the traditional NBC Thursday night lineup as "vital." The new network comedies will compete in lower price nor the ABC sitcom Emmy Award-winning Modern Family, which is anchored at 21
"When you're looking for on Wednesday it wants to stay away from 9 pm, it was obvious," he said.
And even though the ABC comedy about 8:00 in the Middle has improved its rating (it is up to 9 per cent of the 18-49 demo this season), 20:30 best comedy that was canceled.
"We took two of our best pilots, probably our best son and try to locate there," said Greenblatt. "We have no illusions about the difficulty will be and as we join her and be patient with it. But we knew that if we try to never happen."
For its part, ABC is expected to use the Tim Allen sitcom Last Man Standing to launch a new comedy block on Tuesdays in the fall.
The second season of David E. Kelley Law, Harry's will be released on Wednesday at 21 am, followed by veteran crime procedural Law & Order: Special Victims Unit at 22:00 series stars Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni will both return next season. Greenblatt said many Meloni is "almost done." And then he said that the show is looking to add a strong female character next season, he would only say that Jennifer Love Hewitt is "one of the people we seek."
Whitney's new comedy - a rom-com based on the comedy Whitney Cummings - get the groove back to his office on Thursday at 21:30, where the ax subcontractors could not find a hearing last fall. And while the Office is the most-watched comedy on NBC next year will be completely without its star Steve Carrell, who left the series last month. 30 Rock will be held in mid-season due to pregnancy-star Tina Fey, while Parks and Recreation will move in the space of 20 hours and 30 minutes.
prime suspect, a role created by Maria Bello, Academy Award winner Helen Mirren as British drama, you get a competitive place for 22 on Thursday.
Playboy Club will air on Mondays at 22:00 in which CBS currently has Hawaii Five-0. Playboy, foam soap set in the 1960s, could indeed be considered if CBS programming cons-Hawaii Five-0 guard next season the same location.
NBC keep crushing musical drama with Katharine McPhee and Debra Messing, mid-season that will be combined with the voice on Monday.
Grimm - a police drama with elements of fantasy inspired by the classic Grimm tale - will be broadcast at 21:00 on Friday after Chuck, who will head into his final season in September.
Meanwhile, Kelley sent Greenblatt reboot Wonder Woman, which has generated much attention from fans and purists like.
"There was more enthusiasm for dressing up any other thing, which frankly surprises me," he said. "You look for planning. You can try to understand what is the best flow. And, ultimately, does not fully correspond to everything we have tried to do."
Much of network programming seems to twist woman, a constituency that has traditionally played the ABC soaps night of aging, including Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy.
"We know it's easier to get women to watch television," says Greenblatt, but added that the prime suspect and Whitney tested well with men and women.
"We have a lot of female stars. But I do not think that men are about to leave. I think we have a lot of balance, despite what may seem".
In this phase, the network just announced two upcoming season: Smash and society, which airs Sundays at 10 pm after the conclusion of Sunday Night Football (although the NFL and its players association is still locked in battle ).
Greenblatt said that negotiations for NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol left optimistic that the season will carry the NFL lead time "in the worst cases." The network has contingency plans in the hopper - "a number of high-quality, live the reality of the event" - that meets on Sundays in the fall, if the delay or cancellation. Greenblatt declined to give that program, but added that if you do not need the air Sunday evening elsewhere.
Celebrity Apprentice will be back Sunday night in mid-season, whether or not Donald Trump, who has flirted with a presidential race that prevented him from submitting a TV due to FCC regulations the same time. If Trump decides to run, and the probability that the thinner air every day, NBC is a heavy new meeting room.
"It 's a strong franchise, does not lessen its presence, because we love it," said Greenblatt. "But I really do not think it's all about the casting, showing the challenges and if not available, there will be some really interesting sitting head of the boardroom."
A conference call for journalists on Sunday, Greenblatt denied that the Trump polarizing opinions that led to the network of the Obama "headache".
Celebrity Apprentice, "he said," is a great success for us and much of that is due in part to [win] is a fascinating, the interest rate, direct person-shooter no real pain; .. Only ratings [income] for the time and could not be happier. "
