NBC Announces 2010-2011 Primetime Schedule

By Rich King on May 17, 2010

NEW YORK — NBC announced today its 2010-11 primetime schedule that is highlighted by five new comedies, seven new drama series and one new alternative program, including shows from such innovative hit-makers as J.J. Abrams, Jerry Bruckheimer and David E. Kelley, among others.

The high-quality series include new comedies such as Outsourced, Love Bites, Perfect Couples, Friends With Benefits and The Paul Reiser Show. The new dramas are The Cape, Harry's Law, Outlaw, Undercovers, The Event, Chase and Law & Order: Los Angeles.

The schedule features all-drama lineups on Mondays and Wednesdays and five comedies on Thursdays. Tuesdays will continue to combine the similar appeal of The Biggest Loser with Parenthood, and Fridays will team Who Do You Think You Are? and the new series School Pride with Dateline NBC and the new legal drama Outlaw.

NBC will also broadcast a 35th anniversary Saturday Night Live special that will celebrate the iconic late-night series' long and eventful run on NBC since 1975.

The announcements were made by Jeff Gaspin, Chairman, NBC Universal Television Entertainment, and Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.

"This new schedule brings NBC back to basics with its commitment to quality scripted programming," said Gaspin. "Our new shows are distinctive and feature a combination of the biggest talent, the brightest new stars and the strongest auspices in television. With this new schedule, we're poised to take the next step toward our long-term goals with a lineup that has stabilized and has been building solid momentum through the second half of the season."

"Our team has been working tirelessly to achieve our ambitious goals and we are so pleased to see that these new series demonstrate tremendous upside for NBC," said Bromstad. "We feel that this development season introduces shows that will become part of the great programming legacy of our network."

On Mondays (all times ET), NBC leads off with Chuck from 8-9 p.m., followed by two new and intense hour-long dramas - The Event (9-10 p.m.) and Chase (10-11 p.m.). Then on Tuesdays, NBC returns with its powerful stories from the hit alternative series The Biggest Loser (8-10 p.m.) and finishes the night with the acclaimed family drama Parenthood (10-11 p.m.).

NBC's Wednesday night features three hours of drama programming beginning with the new series Undercovers from J.J. Abrams (8-9 p.m.), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (9-10 p.m.) and the new Law & Order: Los Angeles at 10-11 p.m. concludes the night.

Primetime Thursdays feature wall-to-wall comedy as this season's freshman sensation Community continues at 8-8:30 p.m. followed by the Emmy Award-winning 30 Rock (8:30-9 p.m.). The Emmy-winning The Office continues 9-9:30 p.m. and will be followed by the new comedy Outsourced (9:30-10 p.m.). Now NBC's comedy fans get an extra round of laughs when the new, hour-long comedy Love Bites debuts at 10-11 p.m. Parks and Recreation will return to Thursdays later in the season to give the night more original programming.

Fridays come alive with a fresh mix of reality, news and a new scripted drama as the popular Who Do You Think You Are? returns at 8-9 p.m. where it shares the time period with School Pride — a new, proactive and inspiring series about rebuilding a community's schools. Dateline NBC continues at 9-10 p.m. with its compelling personal stories. The workweek ends with Outlaw, a new courtroom drama featuring Emmy winner Jimmy Smits as a former U.S. Supreme Court justice.

The wildly successful NBC Sunday Night Football reigns supreme again on Sundays (8:15-11:30 p.m.) preceded by Football Night in America (7-8:15 p.m.).

Sundays beginning March 2011, the popular competition series Minute to Win It returns (8-9 p.m.) followed by The Celebrity Apprentice (9-11 p.m.)

The new series The Cape, Friends With Benefits, Perfect Couples, Harry's Law and The Paul Reiser Show will premiere later in the season along with a new version of The Apprentice, The Marriage Ref and the new series America's Next Great Restaurant — starring acclaimed celebrity chef/restaurateur Bobby Flay.
