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:

TBD on the fate of the pilots for Blank Slate, Found, Irrational, Unbroken, and the untitled drama from Mike Daniels.

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.

Too Close To Home: FBI "Little Egypt" Season Premiere

The season premiere of FBI has the agency facing a bombing that hits too close to home. Here's a recap! The 

When a bombing of a restaurant hits close to home to O.A., it goes even more profound and even butting heads with the new FBI supervisor, Isobel Castille, on the issues of spreading the word that Muslim terrorists were the ones that had attacked.

After agreeing and getting the okay from Castille, O.A. tries to connect to one of the buyers, who cannot do what he's trying to do. But when he comes to visit the kid at home, the kid is no longer at home but at the park about to bomb Central Park. While Maggie stops the bomb, O.A. stops the kid and the suspect.

Meanwhile, in the episode, Kristen becomes a full agent of the FBI and gets a new partner, Agent Stuart Scola, as he helps Maggie and O.A. The two bond as unique partners, like Kristen learning that Scola did have an older brother who died on 9/11.

"Little Egypt" was an excellent episode that not only told a solid character development episode but pretty much added to what the feeling towards the characters would be this season. I very much enjoyed the tension between O.A. and Castille. But also nothing like a Law and order reunion between Sisto and Garza. I'm interested in where this season will take the characters and the stories that they'll be telling. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
