Apparently I never watch NBC. I haven’t seen any of the current shows, nor have I heard of many of them. Then again, I’m not a big TV viewer. ---

[Fox’s turn:](http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2018/05/14/fox-announces-new-primetime-schedule-for-2018-2019-season-64002/20180514fox01/) **Monday** 8-9: The Resident 9-10: 9-1-1 **Tuesday** 8-9: The Gifted 9-10: Lethal Weapon **Wednesday** 8-9: Empire 9-10: Star **Thursday** - NFL **Friday** 8-8:30: Last Man Standing (not exactly “new”) 8:30-9: **The Cool Kids** 9-10: Hell’s Kitchen **Saturday** - College Football (and with the recent Supreme Court decision, maybe your state will let you bet on the game) **Sunday** 7-8: when it is not a Fox NFL National Doubleheader day, repeats will air for the entire hour, although it does not say that they will necessarily always be animated (or even half-hour) shows 8-8:30: The Simpsons 8:30-9: Bob’s Burgers (“Wait, what? No more Christmas in December? No more Thanksgiving three weeks early?”) 9-9:30: Family Guy 9:30-10 **Rel** _The Orville_, _Gotham_, and new shows _Proven Innocent_ and _The Passage_ are the only “scripted” shows (besides possibly another season of _Cosmos_ - note that both versions of _MasterChef_ are returning as well) shown as being added in the midseason. There are no plans to bring back _The X-Files_ this season. My take: it seems strange that there are only three live-action comedies on the entire schedule (including midseason), and all of them are new. ---

I still can’t believe Fox cancelled Brooklyn 99. I thought I had read that NBC had picked it up, but looking at the schedule listed above it doesn’t look that way. Anyone hear anything about it getting picked up? ---

> [@Patx2](#): > > I still can’t believe Fox cancelled Brooklyn 99. I thought I had read that NBC had picked it up, but looking at the schedule listed above it doesn’t look that way. Anyone hear anything about it getting picked up? The [newspaper of record](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/12/arts/television/brooklyn-nine-nine-nbc.html) confirms that NBC has picked up Brooklyn 99 for a 13-episode sixth season. A [more accessible link](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/nbc-picks-brooklyn-nine-nine-day-fox-cancels-show-article-1.3985635). **FairyChatMom** - If you are interested in sampling NBC, I recommend _This Is Us_, a very well written family drama. It’s the only thing I watch on NBC other than Law & Order: SVU. Edited to add: I won’t watch **Manifest** , but I love the high concept: What if the passengers of that Malaysian Airlines flight that disappeared suddenly showed up five years later? ---

Posts like these make me realize how little prime time network TV we watch. Just one show on each of the 3 posted so far: _Chicago Med_ (NBC), _The Simpsons_ (Fox) and _The Good Doctor_ (ABC). And _The Simpsons_ only due to inertia. And we’re old folk. The younger cord cutters can’t be taking up the slack. ---

> [@Patx2](#): > > I still can’t believe Fox cancelled Brooklyn 99. I thought I had read that NBC had picked it up, but looking at the schedule listed above it doesn’t look that way. Anyone hear anything about it getting picked up? What I read was that NBC picked it up for the 2019 season. I find it very odd that Fox cancelled Brooklyn 99, then picked up Last Man Standing from ABC. ---

The younger cord cutters can’t be taking up the slack. Tell me about it! Each network has maybe 1 show that gets recorded. NBC has _Superstore_. ABC has _The Rookie_, which gets a chance solely on Nathan Fillion, and _Agents of SHIELD_. Fox has fuck-all until _The Orville_ returns. It’s cute that the networks still think they matter. ---

Fox did not announce on what day of the week the series would normally air, although I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Sunday schedule of _Bob’s Burgers_, _The Simpsons_, _Family Guy_, and _The Orville_. - Speaking of special Sunday premieres, Season 2 of _9-1-1_ will premiere on Sunday 9/23 before moving to its Monday timeslot. Because of this, the season premieres of Fox’s Sunday lineup will be on 9/30. - _Lethal Weapon_ will have only 13 episodes this season. ---

After reading the lists the only show I plan to watch is “The Orville”. Looking at the other responses I’m not the only one going ‘meh’ about the networks. Makes me wonder how long the current business model will last. ---
