Nevermind. I just found the official announcement just put up.InsanePirateDragon wrote:You know usually the networks make an announcement of their official schedule just yet which is kind of odd in my expierence. I usually follow and its been my job to my college newspaper.
The only news articles I've found recently were the primetime pickups on the 4th and the Chuck renew. But nothing like what ABC and CBS have;

So where's NBCs at. Sure they got that lineup gif with whats at what time but usually an announcement goes along with it.
Nicely written, exactly what I thought.CrimsonK9 wrote: And, again, not that ANY of this means anything to NBC, but you have certainly alienated at least one family in your target demographic. I can honestly and without rancor tell you that NOTHING on this fall schedule holds even the slightest bit of interest for me. It looks like more of the same recycled, poorly thought out, lowest common denominator tripe that has led to this networks steady slide into oblivion over the last decade. From the network that practically invented "Must See TV" , it just doesn't seem possible that this is what you have been reduced to. And given NBC's track record of stomping on new shows before they can truly find their footing, I cannot conceive of a situation where I would ever allow myself to care about anything you roll out in the future.

Well done. It's sad that they are not giving this show a fair second chance. They never seem to respect it, and give even less advertising dollars to promote it when it deserves better.CrimsonK9 wrote:For all the good it will do (see also "Urinating Into a Headwind") I had to send somebody at NBC a piece of my mind. They'll no doubt get so many thousands of "You suck, NBC. I will never wath your network again!" emails about this show or Medium or Life over the next few days, no one will probably ever see it. But if I post it here, maybe I'll feel better.![]()
It went like this....
"Not that any of what I'm about to say makes ANY difference to ANYONE there, but I had to come forward and say directly how disappointed I am in what NBC has done with regards to Knight Rider. The shameful treatment this network has given to one of its most recognizable and iconic franchises is an absolute disgrace. I can understand business decisions as well as the next guy. But to dismiss this show without even having the decency to address it directly or even acknowledge the MILLIONS of fans who hung on every morsel of news they could scrounge for the last few months is disrespectful and insulting. This show isn't "Life" or "Kath & Kim" or some other here-today-and-gone-tomorrow flashes in the pan. This is literally a franchise known and appreciated by millions of people across two or three generations all over the world.
And, again, not that ANY of this means anything to NBC, but you have certainly alienated at least one family in your target demographic. I can honestly and without rancor tell you that NOTHING on this fall schedule holds even the slightest bit of interest for me.

Chuck was renewed, and I congratulate the fans of that show on a job well done. But to see one of the network's most beloved franchises tossed on the heap like yesterday's garbage is very very sad.
Sincerely and Sadly,"
