Glad they moved Grimm back to Fridays, I got so adjusted to it, didn't care for their recent move to Tuesdays.

Along with Chicago Fire and Revolution, I'm actually starting to watch NBC shows once again. Looks like they may finally be heading in the right direction.

It probably won't help its ratings but for my own viewing purposes, I'm glad that Parks And Recreation is on at 8 PM.

Not much there that interests me about NBC's schedule, but I'll likely give some of the comedies a sample. And Grimm is a keeper, of course.

So About a Boy is an Americanization of the book and movie. I enjoyed both.

I think "Dracula" has the Friday 10PM slot to kick-off fall (10 episodes). "Crossbones" will follow later.

Typical schedule for a network that is floundering about in search of an identity. They're throwing anything they can find on the wall while hoping something sticks.

Bummer; I used to really like NBC.

I saw Fox's new schedule online this morning. Some switches around there that were kind of unexpected. I'll let someone post it before going into detail.

The head of Fox programming said Fox TV was now focused on year-round programming, be it 13, 15, 17, 22, 24 episode seasons.

Fox is also bringing back 24 in a 12-episode format.

Even if Fox is cheaping out by violating the 24 hour format (though they'll pretend that it was purely done to help the story), it'll still be great to see Jack Bauer back on TV.

The only thing I watch on Fox are the cartoons, and may still watch The Mindy Project.

I agree. There really hasn't been anything quite like this series on TV since it left the air, and I'm looking forward to a new run even if it's abbreviated.

I was so turned off by the second half of 24's first season, that I haven't gone back. Even though I know things were better planned out in subsequent seasons, the shorter slate of episodes sounds good to me just in terms of concept. I guess I have some catching up to do also.

Unusual that BONES begins the season on Monday night and then after the World Series it switches to Fridays. GLEE has some episodes prior to the Series and then goes away until spring when it picks up and continues into the summer.Some strange ideas in Fox's attempt to become a 12 month programming network.

I get the feeling that that's an experiment and if it fails, it'll quickly be moved into a spot of one of the shows that gets canned early on in the year.

NBCepending on what else ends up on Mondays, I'll probably check out "The Blacklist". The script for the pilot was very well-regarded, and it's the kind of role Spader was born to play.I'm much happier with "Revolution" in an 8PM timeslot. It's always felt like more of a family adventure show than a gritty 10PM drama.Putting "Parks & Rec" in the 8 PM death slot is either an extreme vote of confidence or a euthenesia. I'm going to check out "The Michael J. Fox" show, because he's so talented that I'll give anything he's doing a shot."Crossbones" is another one that I have marginal interest in, so it'll depend on the competition."Believe" might be the new show I'm most interested in, and that's down to Alfonso Cuaron being the writer/director. I'll also probably give "Crisis" a try. Since they're on Sundays, I'm guessing they won't start until Sunday Night Football is over.

Yes. And David Walton, who I thought was pretty great in NBC's shortlived "Bent", is playing the Americanized Will Freeman. Spot-on casting, in my opinion. I'm a little more worried about the casting of Minnie Driver as Fiona and Benjamin Stockholm as Marcus. I hope the girl they get for Ellie is right for the role, because she was my favorite character from the book and one they should have room to develop here. I'm concerned that with it being a half-hour sitcom that a lot of the darker elements of the story will be watered down, particularly Fiona's suicidal tendencies.FOX:I wish they were filming "Sleepy Hollow" in the Tarrytowns instead of North Carolina. The real area has a certain unique quality to it that you don't get anywhere else.I'd definitely watch "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" with its behind-the-scenes pedigree if Andy Samberg didn't have a face I'd like to punch. The guy just really rubs me the wrong way, and I'm not sure why. So it's a maybe.I might give "Rake" a try; it's Fox's big-name prestige offering for this season.I'm a little worried about "Raising Hope" getting exiled to Fridays. I'm kind of hoping one of the new comedies crashes and burns on Tuesdays so there's room back there on the schedule for "Hope."

I doubt NBC has any delusions about it doing all that well against Big Bang Theory but I think it's partly a vote of confidence and partly their only move to make. Putting a brand new show against a Chuck Lorre sitcom is likely dooming that show so the only move is to put their best known sitcom on at that time and hope for the best & hope that the other shows catch on in their less competitive time slots.

Parks And Recreation is the best show on network TV in years. If that doesn't get people to watch, nothing else will.
