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:

MONDAY:

8/7c The Voice

10/9c Quantum Leap

TUESDAY

8/7c The Voice

9/8c La Brea

10/9c New Amsterdam (final season)

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.

The news is exciting and expected since this is the network's biggest franchise right now. I've been a fan of FBI and FBI Most Wanted and look forward to seeing where they will be going. As of FBI International, I've yet to see it but will be catching up before the new season begins.

Departure Season 2

Archie Panjabi is thrilled to return in the exciting second season of the Canadian mystery drama Departure! If you enjoyed the first season, you’re in for a delightful surprise this time—it’s bound to captivate you just as much!

One Chicago Preview: Chicago Med "To Lean In, or To Let Go"/Chicago Fire "Head Count"/Chicago PD "Rage"

 

Here's a preview of this week's new #OneChicago! 

Chicago Med

"To Lean In, or To Let God" 

Vanessa and Archer disagree on how to handle the victim of a motorcycle accident. Dylan and Charles deal with a UNICEF negotiator with repressed trauma. Stevie and Will treat a high schooler with Addison's disease and a clingy mother.

Chicago Fire 

"Head Count"

A video of Casey from the roof rescue goes viral. Mouch sets up a Little Free Library at Firehouse 51. Herrmann breaks protocol.

Thoughts:

Med: I'm looking forward to this week's episode. With the promo for this week's episode, I really want to see what will happen after Scott argues with Archer about the E.R. not having enough beds. Also, I look forward to seeing how Scott and Charles will work together and Hammer working with Halstead, as we learned they have a bit of a history in medical school. 

And I think that we'll see more Maggie and Vanessa time after that moment in last week's episode. I hope we get to see where Halstead is with that doctor that Goodwin wants to spy on. 

Fire: I do look forward to this week's episode as well. I can't wait to see how Casey does with that viral video. Mouch brings a mini library to 51; they must be one of those "take a book, leave a book" programs. I wonder if that's how his and Brett's novel will come back? 

And it looks like with Herrmann in trouble, Ritter could be the one to help him out of this situation. I wonder if Boden will be moving to his new office this week's episode or maybe in the 200th episode. 

P.D.: I won't disagree that Burgess might have to work in emergency dispatch for a while. She needs to take it easy for a time, and with the aftermath of what she went through that, she's gonna need help dealing with the trauma, even if Burgess says she's okay. 

I wonder if Halstead and Upton will announce their engagement to the squad. That would be something. Also, does anyone believe that Burgess took Upton's answer about not finding Roy? Do you think that she doesn't believe her? 

What do you think of the upcoming episodes? Are you excited? Leave a comment below!

One Chicago airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC and streaming all episodes on PeacockTV.

An Intense Night of Drama: One Chicago: Chicago Med "You Can't Always Trust What You See"/Chicago Fire "Mayday"/Chicago PD "Closure" Season Premiere

 

The season premiere of One Chicago happened this week, and I'm still buzzing from everything that unfolded! Let me share a recap and some of my thoughts with you!

The Fall Television Season is Finally Here

 

With the weather changing, football back, and daylight shortening up, that could only mean one thing: the fall television season is back! Yes, it's that time of the season when new and return shows give us what we love: to laugh, love, cry, and be thrilled. 

With the Primetime Emmy Awards airing last night, today is the most exciting week for me as Premiere Week is like Christmas, and the Super Bowl all wrapped up in one week. We've been waiting all summer for this week to come, and now it's finally here!

Returning shows like One Chicago or FBI series, The Conners, or not to mention Station 19 and Grey's Anatomy, gives us that our shows are back. With an exciting new season full of drama and excitement with our favorite characters and what will happen to them this new season. 

Plus, the season premieres of our returning shows are either having an epic crossover event (FBI series, Station 19-Grey's Anatomy) or picking up with the cliffhangers that we're left at the end of last season (Chicago Fire and Chicago PD).

And let us not leave out the new shows like NCIS: Hawaii, Ghost, and The Big Leap. American Rust and LA BREA, to name a few, are trying to become the next new hit. Some of these new shows look exciting to tune in and see where they would go. 

While last season didn't start every day, it feels good to return to normalcy, knowing that we get to see our favorite characters back and escape for a half-hour to an hour from the madness in our daily lives. Here's to having a great fall season and premiere week because as soon as fall hits, winter is just around the corner.
