NBC like FOX announced their fall shows. There were two dramas including one from EPs Alfonso Cuaron and JJ Abrams, which stars Kyle MacLachlan, how can you go wrong there? NBC can, and may. They also have four new comedies, including and adaptation of the film About a Boy, which come Jason Katims who created Parenthood for NBC. Michael J. Fox and Sean Hayes will also be returning to the Peacock Network.
I think NBCs biggest mistake was nixing the modern day version of the Hatfields & McCoys, which had such great ratings, and mass appeal, no wonder NBC did not want it. See the the full cast list, and description below.
