Last year it seemed like NBC would air anything, but this season that is no longer the case. First they decided to push the Whitney season premiere to an unknown date. Then they decided to burn off the failed pilot Mockingbird instead of straight out picking up The Munsters reboot. (Watch the promo below and you will see they are making the right choice.) And finally they have opted to cancel Next Caller before ever airing a single episode of Dane Cook’s unfunny sitcom according to Deadline. I watched that pilot and I have to say it was the worst one of the season. I think this is the worst fall season of my lifetime, so that says a lot.
So I guess after a sh!tty season last year and a so far successful one this year, NBC has finally developed some long overdue standards. Now let’s hope they keep it up because remember they are the network that thought Chelsea Handler’s life was funny enough for a sitcom. They were wrong and they paid the price.
