Though likely not ranking much higher than its usual moderate ratings, last night's 'Parks and Recreation' season finale episode "Are You Better Off?" put an effective cap on yet another uncertain season, given the long-running NBC comedy's constant threat of cancellation. 'Parks' prospects certainly seem like a lock for next year, but what big twists and Marvel-ous new problems will the Pawnee Parks Department face next year? New details inside!

Last week, we heard a surprising-if-unreliable rumor that David Lynch's legendary spookfest 'Twin Peaks' was being eyed for a revival on NBC, to either pick up where things left off on a season 2 cliffhanger, or bring the story into the modern day.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:54:56 +0000

For all NBC's comeback success this year, one project that's certainly caught our eye is that of the Bryan Fuller-helmed re-imagining 'Hannibal,' depicting the iconic killer (Mads Mikkelsen) in his earlier days alongside FBI partner Will Graham. Yet for all its buzz, NBC seems hesitant to schedule out the 10-episode season's premiere, even as it heads into its mid-season lineup.

Though we've known for some time that the current season of 'The Office' would represent the final year for Jim, Pam and the other Dunder-Mifflin crew, some months ago development began on the Dwight Schrute spin-off 'The Farm,' to be aired as a backdoor pilot in 'The Office's final season.

Love him or hate him, reactions certainly ran the gamut when NBC announced that it had partnered for a single-camera sitcom featuring controversial comedian Dane Cook as the acerbic radio host of 'Next Caller.' Initially picked up to series, NBC reportedly changed their minds about the series after shooting four episodes, pulling the plug on production, but Cook seems to have found yet another home.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:20:59 +0000

While most would agree that 'SNL's' most recent turn with 'Django Unchained' star Jamie Foxx hosting and musical guest Ne-Yo stayed mostly level, it's no secret that a portion of 'SNL' viewers tune in to see which sketches can make the performers break. "The Californians" has been known to get cast members giggling, partiuclarly Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, but we've never seen them lose it so hard as a deleted sketch from Saturday featuring the pair as doormen.

Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Anne Heche Making 'Bad Judge' Sitcom For NBC

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 06:00:33 +0000

Sadly, outside of the occasional Old Milwaukee commercial, occasional 'SNL' appearance, or maybe even the latest episode of 'Bitch Hunter,' we're unlikely to see Will Ferrell take any regular presence on the small screen again. That's okay though, considering the imminent arrival of 'Anchorman 2' with director Adam McKay, and an upcoming NBC series with both behind the camera! And hey, why not throw in a little Anne Heche for good measure? Who's ready for 'Bad Judge?'

Where just yesterday we were begrudging the likes of NBC's 'Whitney,' which like 'Chicago Fire' and 'Guys With Kids' had earned additional script orders from NBC, it seems the fire has just taken another leap forward.

How many episodes will the series see, and what are NBC bosses saying?

Why Didn't HBO or NBC Want 'The Walking Dead'?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 23:45:06 +0000

In the past, we've heard about networks passing up some great dramas now and again, like when 'Breaking Bad' almost went to FX, before landing on AMC as the Emmy-winning bad-ass drama we all know it to be. But did you know that before AMC scored even bigger with Robert Kirkman's 'The Walking Dead,' HBO and NBC were in the market for the zombie-thriller as well? What made them pass on something that's become such a cultural phenomeon?
