NBC Fall Schedule Announced

#1 Post by silverscreenselect » Fri May 19, 2023 10:25 pm

Monday

8:00 - The Voice
10:00 - The Irrational

Tuesday

8:00 - Night Court
8:30 - Extended Family
9:00 - The Voice
10:00 - Quantum Leap

Wednesday

8:00 - Chicago Med
9:00 - Chicago Fire
10:00 - Chicago PD

Thursday

8:00 - Law and Order
9:00 - Law and Order SVU
10:00 - Found

Friday

8:00 - The Wall
9:00 - Dateline NBC

Saturday - Big Ten Football

Sunday - NFL Football

Again, the schedule is tentative based on how soon the writers strike is settled. The Blacklist is ending this summer. New Amsterdam was cancelled. Magnum PI, LaBrea, Lopez vs. Lopez, and Law and Order: Organized Crime will return at midseason. No official announcement on Young Rock, Grand Crew, and American Auto.

Extended Family is about a couple (Jon Cryer and Abigail Spencer) who get divorced but still live in the same house and take turns caring for their kids.Found appears to be an update of Without a Trace. A public relations specialist and her crisis management team look for missing people who have fallen off the radar. The Irrationals stars Alec Mercer as a behavioral science expert who consults with law enforcement, government, and corporations based on his ability to predict human behavior.

I do like the Law and Order series. I record them and watch when I have time.

BTW, I think their disclaimer "The following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event." is BS. For many, if not most, we know the real cases they are based on, maybe only loosely so, but the initial events match.

I was going to write that it doesn't help support that assertion to refer to their stories as "ripped from the headlines." I then searched L&O and that phrase, and this was the first hit:

https://lawandorder.fandom.com/wiki/Rip ... _headlines
Law & Order episodes are often advertised as being "ripped from the headlines". Many people mistake this to mean that they are based on actual events. In reality, the slogan refers to the franchise's practice of conceiving stories that are partially inspired by recent headlines. There might be a few scenes that resemble a well-known headline, while the majority of the episode goes in a different direction, or there could be one character that is based on a famous individual, but the circumstances the person encounters are largely fictional.

Often the plot of an initial portion of an episode resembles a recognizable aspect of an actual case, such as the 1998 episode of the original series "Tabloid", wherein a woman is killed in a car crash after being chased by a gossip reporter, similarly to Princess Diana's death in August 1997. This "ripped from the headlines" theme is reflected in the opening credits sequence that evolves from newspaper halftones to high-resolution photos. The rest of the plot, however, usually diverges significantly from the actual events that may have inspired the episode.

Promotional advertisements of episodes with close real-life case parallels often use the "ripped from the headlines" phrase, although a textual disclaimer, within the actual episode, emphasizes that the story and characters are fictional. This format lends itself to exploring different outcomes or motives that similar events could have had under other circumstances.

The show Law & Order: Organized Crime takes a different approach to storylines though as a narrative arc spans multiple episodes and is stated to not be "ripped from the headlines".
The bottom of that page has links to lists of "ripped from the headlines" episodes of the various L&O franchises.

Adam Goldberg's production company is called This Episode is Entirely a Work of Fiction, LLC, belying the fact that the setting and the names of many of the characters of "The Goldbergs" on ABC reflect Goldberg's own childhood.

Night Court took a while to settle in, but to be fair, so did the original. Recommendation for next season: Do more episodes with lots of quick cases in the courtroom, which is where the original shone for comedy. And make it more obvious that the DA thinks she is in a film noir. And write more scenes for the bailiff and John Laroquette; they crackle.

And bring back Bob and June Wheeler for one more case, please.

NBC has joined the other networks in revising its fall schedule due to the writers and actors strikes. Some of its scripted shows already had filmed most or all of their episodes before the strike and will remain on the schedule. NBC is hoping the strikes end so they can resume production of any remaining episodes without a break (or they may cut the season short, especially if new show ratings are poor). The season will start Monday, September 25.

Monday

8:00 - The Voice
10:00 - The Irrational

Tuesday

8:00 - The Voice
10:00 - Found (On September 26, NBC will air America's Got Talent, while Found begins the following week)

Wednesday

8:00 - Chicago drama repeats (On September 27, NBC will air the finale of America's got talent.)
9:00 - Quantum Leap
10:00 - Magnum PI

Thursday

8:00 - Law & Order repeats (On September 28, NBC will air the People's Choice Country Awards)
9:00 - Transplant
10:00 - Dateline NBC

Friday

8:00 - The Wall
9:00 - Dateline NBC

Saturday - Big 10 Football

Sunday - NFL Football
