NBC 2021-2022 Fall Schedule: This Is Us get 2022 Premiere, All Law & Order Thursday, Brooklyn Nine-Nine Gets After Olympic Premiere

 

On Friday, NBC was the first broadcast network to unveil its 2021-2022 game plan and there's something funny about it. There's no sitcom for the first time(?) on the network's fall schedule. But there's a resurgent of Law and Order.

The fall schedule will have a big Law& Order Thursday with Law & Order: For the Defense will kick off at 8pm, followed by SVU and Organized Crime. Dick Wolf now owns almost 30 percent of NBC's schedule!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's 10-episode final season will premiere this summer following the summer Olympics.

The Voice will only air one cycle next season, in the fall. 

This Is Us's final season will premiere at midseason, but the delay contains a silver lining: All 18 episodes will air uninterrupted.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and Good Girls are MIA as the networks are still deciding and will make an announcement in the coming weeks. 

Here's the Fall Schedule:

MONDAY:

8/7c The Voice

10/9c Ordinary Joe (NEW)

TUESDAY

8/7c The Voice

9/8c La Brea (NEW)

10/9c New Amsterdam

WEDNESDAY

8/7c Chicago Med

9/8c Chicago FIre

10/9c Chicago PD

THURSDAY

8/7c Law & Order: For the Defense (NEW)

9/8c Law & Order SVU

10/9c Law & Order: Organized Crime

FRIDAY

8/7c The Blacklist

9/8c Dateline NBC

SATURDAY:

8/7c Drama Encores

9/8c Dateline Saturday night Mystery

10/9c SNL Encores

SUNDAY

7/6c Football Night in America

8/7c Sunday Night Football

Midseason: AGT: Extreme, American Auto, America Song Contest, Grand Crew, Kenan, Mr. Mayo, The Thing About Pam, This Is Us, Young Rock.

The fall schedule looks pretty good with the addition of For the Defense making Thursday night Law & Order night. It's kind of strange that there are no comedies in the fall. This Is Us final season holding back until midseason is a smart move and Brooklyn Nine-Nine gets the after Olympic premiere for its final season is another one too. 

I wonder if with AGT Extreme holding for midseason, will it take place of the second cycle of The Voice? That's something to see and it looks like they're going to take what American Idol has done for the past 20 years.

Hoot! Hoot!!: Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Honeymoon" Season Premiere

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is back and the season premiere doesn't miss a beat! Here's a recap!

We pick up right where we left in season 5 finale, Holt is about to make his good news announcement until he realizes that he was not going to get the commissioner spot. But Jake, who didn't learn of the news to go get his boom box to celebrate, starts dancing to celebrate's Holt's announcement.

As Jake and Amy go on their honeymoon to Mexico, they see that Holt is there too. He not only is getting away from the Nine-Nine but also making Jake and Amy's honeymoon a real bummer. Holt complains and complains to them about why it shouldn't be this guy and what's wrong with him while wearing funny vacation t-shirts.

But just as Holt decides to leave, Jake learns that he's gonna quit his job. Jake drags him back to his room while Amy is dressed up as Bonnie Bedelia from Die Hard. Using Charlie's gift, they tie Holt to the bed with rose petals all over and try to convince him that he should stay at the Nine-Nine. That was until Amy was done hooting to her mentor and gives it to him straight that really got him to reconsider and went back to work.

Meanwhile, at the Nine-Nine, Rosa asked Terry for advice about a case that she's been working on that but waste management is getting in the way. Terry gives his Top Dog Terry advice but all options didn't work. Trying to look for Holt's manual for answers, he finally gets it from Rosa who got it from Gina that was holding it. Terry learns that Holt trusts him for his decision making. Also, Charlies is upset that Gina's mom is divorcing his father and tries to figure out why. When he sneaks into Gina's phone, he sees that she advised her mother to do it. Gina explains that she did it because her mother was cheating on his father.

A week later Jake and Amy return to the Nine-Nine and run into Holt, who thanked them. But also to tell them that the Nine-Nine will be sharing floors with homicide. Oh boy!

"Honeymoon" was an excellent episode premiere. The show never missed a beat and even was probably better than what they were when they were on FOX. Amazing performance from the ensemble cast and even the writing was as strong too. I enjoy a lot of the threesome of Amy, Jake, and Holt in Mexico that was just hilarious. Also, I think the move of the Nine-Nine to share with Homicide was a spoof of the show moving from FOX to NBC.  Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC.
