Back in the Spring, NBC announced it would air its brand-new Office spinoff after the Super Bowl in February. Well, this week we heard that there is no Office spinoff (yet), and the show that took its place in NBC's priority list, starring Amy Poehler, won't be ready to air in that prime slot.
So, what's NBC to do? The Office might be an obvious pick, but as Entertainment Weekly reports, 30 Rock might also be angling for the spot. The network has a bunch of new shows ready to premiere this Fall; maybe NBC could boost one of them. Heroes is also looking to get its mojo back, and a little part of me would love to see something like Chuck get that kind of mass exposure. And oh, there's also that show with football players that's supposed to return in February anyway.
What do you think should air after the Super Bowl?
Versace
Michael Kors
True Religion
The Office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still the funniest show on TV, IMO.
1After watching the Superbowl, I think most people don't want to immediately jump back into serious tv. The Office ftw!
2Eveyone say it with me...Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck Chuck!!!!! Of course most people just pass out after the super bowl.
3as much as i want FNL to get as much glory as possible ... i think "the office" is probably the best bet.
4FNL! they need the ratings...such a great show!
5anything to help FNL
6FNL would be a great post superbowl pick, and I think it would be sure to gain some extra viewers because of it!
7I never really understood the hype about The Office... I'd say Heroes, but after the Superbowl, I'm usually good and drunk and not interested in watching anything serious.
8I chose Friday Night Lights because I'd love to see it get that extra boost. And I would imagine a lot of people who watch the Super Bowl would enjoy a show about high school football in Texas.
9Friday Night Lights is really the best show on the list, and exposing it to that kind of audience could only help it.
10It would really help FNL pick up new viewers - it's such a great show!
11I am the only one who picked Earl?! I am such a late joiner to that show but I love it
12The Office or My Name is Earl.
I was orginally going to vote "Friday Night Lights" (which I love) however after watching the Super Bowl I doubt people will be sober enough or ready to watch a drama. So I voted for comedy.
13I dont watch any of these shows but after watching football what can be better than even MORE football?? I just think Friday Night Lights matches the whole Super Bowl theme.
14FNL.
