NBC 2022 Fall Schedule: La Brea Takes This Is Us Time slot, The Blacklist Moved to Midseason

 

On Monday, NBC released their 2022 fall schedule as May Upfronts begin this week. The 2021-2022 top-rated freshman series, La Brea, will take over the Tuesdays at 9pm timeslot (which has been the home of This Is Us for the past six years).

The most significant buzz for any new NBC series, the Quantum Leap reboot starring Raymond Lee, has landed the network's most prominent real estate, Mondays at 10/9c leading out of The Voice. While the Night Court revival, which stars John Larroquette and Big Bang Theory alum Melissa Rauch, and has been ordered to series back in September, won't make its debut until midseason.

Meanwhile, Young Rock will be moving to Fridays for its third season, starting in Movember, where it will be paired with the new George Lopez sitcom, Lopez vs. Lopez. This will make The Blacklist's 10th season premiere held back to midseason.

Here's a look at the schedule:

CANCELLED:

The Endgame, Kenan, Mr. Mayor, Ordinary Joe

While NBC has made some changes, mainly bringing back comedy in late fall. But I do wish that network could have renewed Mr. Mayor.

 We'll see how La Brea can be when moving to Tuesdays and wonder if it will keep close to what the ratings would be in the first season. 

And what the heck happened with some of the competition shows like AGT Extreme or Family Game Night? Was it renewed or put on hold until something goes wrong with the new series? 

Overall, this first look fall schedule looks good. I look forward to seeing what the reboot of Quantum Leap will bring.

New Amsterdam: A Healthcare worth the Change

If you haven't seen the new medical drama, New Amsterdam, why haven't you?

The Ryan Eggold-lead drama has airs Tuesdays 10/9c on NBC.  It really has caught on with me. In a way it's like if you take This Is Us and ER, you get New Amsterdam.

The show follows the new medical director, Dr. Max Goodwin , taking on the healthcare system and flip it upside down. He wants the physicians, nurses and everyone to be there for the sick, no matter if they have insurance or not. But Goodwin has a secret that could be life or death.

  There are characters like Dr. Laura Bloom (played by Janet Montgomery), as an ER attending, who's also determine to treat patients the best way possible. There are other classy characters from  Dr. Helen Sharpe (played by Freema Aygeman), who's part PR and part doctor but is learning what it means to be a doctor.  And one of my favorites,  Dr. Iggy Frome (played by Tyler Labine) who's a psychiatrist attending at the hospital. 

New Amsterdam brings that classic medical drama but breaths new life with such rich and well developed stories and characters. Unlike with ER , we see characters/patients from the beginning to the end, whether it's a happy ending or not. Ryan Eggold is amazing and brings something special in this show, something inspiring. If you haven't seen this show, it's a must see on your to do list Tuesday nights.

And good news for today, the show got picked up for a full season.

You can catch New Amsterdam Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.

New Amsterdam: From Blacklist to ER: New Medical Series and Seek Peak

After his five year stunt as Tom Keen on The Blacklist, Ryan Eggold is taken is talents to a new drama this time tackling the health care system in the new medical drama New Amsterdam.

 Inspired by the oldest public hospital in America, this unique medical drama follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin, the institution's newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provides the health care that everyone needs. How can he help? Well, the doctors and staff have heard this before, but not taking "no" for an answer gives Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital. The only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers and the President of the United States under one roof and the return it to the glory that put it back on the map.

Starring, Ryan Eggold, Frrma Agyeman, Janet Montgomery, Jocko Sims, Tyler Labine and Anupam.
