Seriously? OMG! WTF?

While the networks are announcing the fake Fall schedules, NBC is announcing which series that debuted in the real Fall is getting additional episodes.

The Irrational, which stars Jesse L. Martin, is getting one additional episode. They filmed seven episodes before the WGA strike started in May.

But, according to Deadline, the news isn’t all good at the Peacock network. Lopez vs Lopez had its episode order cut from 13 to 10.

However, Night Court will still be filming 13 episodes for the revival’s second season.

Last week, the SAG-AFTRA strike ended after 118 days, and production is finally able to begin again. But then, I read that most shows were expected to start after Thanksgiving.

However, on my Facebook feed today, I saw that NBC’s Extended Family with Jon Cryer, Donald Faison, Abigail Spencer, Sofia Capanna, and Finn Sweeney will begin taping this Friday, and 1iota has tickets for the new sitcom.

It’s really happening! Production is really back! So while CBS announced today that their Fall lineup will debut in February, NBC is making it happen.

However, I should add that 1iota also has tickets for four other multi-camera scripted shows with their start dates: NBC’s Night Court on November 21st, Netflix’s That ’90s Show on December 1st, CBS’s Bob Hearts Abishola on December 5th, and Netflix’s The Upshaws on December 7th.

While CBS, ABC, and Fox are heavy on unscripted, NBC will be airing scripted episodes in the Fall. Because they knew to plan ahead in case the strikes happened, which they did.

Returning series Quantum Leap, the concluding Magnum, P.I., and Transplant will be joined by newcomers Found and The Irrational in September.

It will be interesting to see if their ratings will surge against their competition. I am assuming they will because I don’t think the viewer can handle that much reality television.

NBC saved Magnum, P.I. after CBS cancelled it last year. And today, they did the same thing that CBS did to it, according to Deadline.

But, it is not all bad news. That is because the second part of the fifth season hasn’t aired yet. And the network plans on airing the final episodes in 2024.

Who knows, maybe someone will do an NBC to the reboot. But probably not.

NBC has finally made a decision on the fate of their last bubble show, and American Auto’s future popped.

Since the show will not be back for another season, the show’s EP, Justin Spitzer, revealed what would’ve happened had it gotten one. He wrote, “Season 3 of #americanauto was going to show Katherine Hastings and Payne Motors finally finding success and taking the world by storm. I’m so sorry we didn’t get to make those episodes, but I’m immensely proud of the 23 episodes of the show we did put out there.”

Are you going to miss the sitcom?
