Finke: NBC Renews CHUCK, PARKS, MEDIUM, ORDER And SOUTHLAND!! No Love For HOWIE DO IT, EARL Or LIFE!!
I am – Hercules!!
Nikki Finke, whose sources sometimes get things wrong but more often get them right, is reporting that NBC will announce Monday that “Chuck,” “Law & Order,” “Medium,” “Parks & Recreation” and “Southland” have been renewed for the 2009-2010 season.
NBC “bubble” shows Finke does not mention are miserable prank show "Howie Do It" “Yes, Dear” creator Greg Garcia’s abysmally rated shitcom “My Name Is Earl,” and cult-fave Zen procedural “Life.”
Others NBC shows expected back to share the primetime schedule with the five-nights-a-week hourlong “The Jay Leno Show” next season are “Heroes,” “The Office,” “30 Rock,” “Law & Order: SVU” and “Friday Night Lights.”
NBC shows long expected not to return include “Kath & Kim,” “Kings,” “Knight Rider,” “Crusoe,” “My Own Worst Enemy,” “Lipstick Jungle” and “ER.”
The major broadcast networks announce their 2009-2010 primetime schedules on these dates:
NBC: May 4
Fox: May 18
ABC: May 19
CBS: May 20
The CW: May 21
