NBC Shakes Up Schedule For Midseason

Hello Folks

NBC has announced its midseason schedule, and has made quite the few moves after a rather unsatisfying fall season.

Special note deserves struggling freshman drama "Prime Suspect", which is not featured in the Peacock's midseason lineup. But the network insists that a final decision on the show's fate has yet to be made.

"Harry's Law", which was only renewed for 13 episodes back in May, is most probably getting a full season, as it will continue in the new year. Same goes for new drama "Grimm". A back order there is a foregone conclusion as well.

The premiere date for new drama "Awake", as well as a return date for "Community" has yet to be announced.

Here is the full lineup. Note that several shows have found new homes:
