Seriously? OMG! WTF?

NBC is announcing its 2026-2027 schedule on Monday morning, but we don’t have to wait until then to find out what new series will be joining the lineup.

David Boreanaz, who was on our TVs for 27 years straight, is returning to television after a two year hiatus in a reboot of The Rockford Files.

Also on the schedule are real-life newlyweds, Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, as newlyweds in Newlyweds.

The four series are:

NEW DRAMA SERIES

“LINE OF FIRE”

A family of law enforcement agents bridges personal differences and crosses professional boundaries as they tackle cases for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice. After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code.

The series stars Peter Krause, Hope Davis, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom, and Charlie Barnett.

“THE ROCKFORD FILES”

A contemporary update on the classic series of the same name. Newly paroled after doing time for a crime he didn’t commit, James Rockford returns to his life as a private investigator using his charm and wit to solve cases around Los Angeles. It doesn’t take long for his quest for legitimacy to land him squarely in the crosshairs of both local police and organized crime.

The series stars David Boreanaz, Michaela McManus, Felix Solis, and Jacki Weaver.

NEW COMEDY SERIES

“NEWLYWEDS”

A later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship.

The series stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, with Jamie Lee Curtis as a recurring guest star.

“SUNSET P.I.”

Continues the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show.

The series stars Jake Johnson, Jane Levy, Langston Kerman, Mary Shalaby, and Keith David.

I don’t know about you, but it seems like everything is getting cancelled these days. And that is because it is.

LeAnn Rimes cancelled two dates of her tour due to an illness, and now she has to cancel two more concerts. She wrote, “after a diagnosis of covid leading to severe laryngitis, i’m so sorry to have to reschedule next week’s shows. a visit to my doctor for a scope of my vocal chords has confirmed the news and i wanted to tell you as soon as i could. i’m excited to share that we have been able to reschedule and the new dates are as follows. i look forward to seeing you all, soon!”

She was not the only one who disappointed fans. Post Malone is also doing it. However, he is perfectly healthy. The singer explained, “Looking at the upcoming schedule after stagecoach, I came to the realization that what we [he and Jelly Roll] were trying to do, and what’s possible, isn’t really lining up.

“Truth is, I promised y’all beautiful people new music, and I don’t have the time to finish it before tour starts. We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done.”

Next up is Barry Manilow. The legendary crooner is still recovering from beating lung cancer at the end of last year. He wrote, “Good news! I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I’m making great progress and look great! Well of course I do! Thank you very much!

“All the training and exercising I’ve put in is paying off.

“He did say, however, that I’m not quite ready for Vegas. That means I won’t be able to return for our May shows at Westgate Las Vegas.”

The jingle writer is expecting to perform in London throughout June and in Las Vegas the following month. Hopefully, he will be able to do it.

Music is not the only one suffering from cancellations; TV is feeling the impact too. NBC did not use their Brilliant Minds when it comes to the 2026-2027 season. Therefore, they are U-G-L-Y because cancelled Stumble, the cheer comedy mockumentary, which was too funny for broadcast television, with no alibi. Oh, and they also pulled the plug on Brilliant Minds.

If you have never seen Stumble, you can watch it on NBC and Peacock.

As of now, that is all! But that will change.

NBC Syndication turned into the Grim Reaper today because they cancelled all four of their shows, which are still in production. Those four shows are: Access Hollywood, Access Hollywood Live, The Steve Wilkos Show, and Karamo.

“NBCUniversal is making changes to our first-run syndication division to better align with the programming preferences of local stations,” said Frances Berwick, Chairman, Bravo & Peacock Unscripted, who oversees the division. “The company will remain active in the distribution of our existing program library and other off-network titles, while winding down production of our first-run shows. These shows have provided audiences with great talk and entertainment content for many years and we’re very proud of the teams behind them.”

This is a very sad day in original syndication. And I hope they really thought this through before they put all of those people out of work.

And without those shows and The Kelly Clarkson Show, which is ending on her own accord, there are going to be a lot of holes in NBC’s daytime programming. There is only so much local news can cover, especially when the firing squad keeps taking people out in the newsrooms.

Having said all of that, I wonder if NBC will be taking Days of Our Lives back from Peacock. I am sure they regret that decision.

NBC is going into Olympics mode next week, so Brilliant Minds is taking a break from Mondays at 10p. It was supposed to return on March 2nd, after a one-hour episode of The Voice, but that is no longer the case.

Instead, The Voice will expand to two hours, and Brilliant Minds’ final six episodes for season 2 will air sometime later in the spring or summer.

Does that mean that the medical drama, which stars Zachary Quinto, will not be back for season 3? Most likely, but NBC will tell us no decision has been made about the show’s future, even though they pretty much said that by pulling it from the schedule.

Do you watch it? I tried, but it was not for me, and I am a medical drama girl!

NBC announced today that it picked up Happy’s Place and St. Denis Medical for a third season.

“Both ‘St. Denis Medical’ and ‘Happy’s Place’ have delivered comedic brilliance over their first two seasons, truly connecting with our audience with hilarious characters, and remain hugely important and successful programs to our primetime and Peacock lineup,” said Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Content, NBC & Peacock. “A huge thank you to the producers, casts, and crews of both shows who have brought these wonderful stories to life and will now continue to tell their laugh-out-loud stories.”

Happy’s Place stars Reba McEntire, Belissa Escobedo, Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and Rex Linn. McEntire plays a bar owner who finds out that her late dad fathered a daughter and he leaves the bar to both his daughters. Now the sisters and the people from the bar are navigating through life as a found family!

And there is St. Denis Medical.
