This is the time of year, Modern Philosophers when the television networks announce which primetime programs are being renewed or cancelled, and which new shows will be a part of the Fall TV lineup.
NBC, long mocked for its horrible programming, has decided to make a very bold move. The network announced today that it was cancelling every show in its primetime lineup, and replacing them with reruns of old NBC hits mostly from the 1990s.
“We know it’s a bold move,” admitted the NBC executive who drew the short straw and had to face the media. “But when you think about it, what choice did we really have?”
This Modern Philosopher is not a fan of the move. I will certainly miss shows like “Parks & Recreation”, “Parenthood”, and “Revolution”.
Wow. Is that really all I watch on NBC aside from “The Tonight Show” and “Saturday Night Live”? Yikes!
