NBC Benches 'Law & Order: Los Angeles' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-18-2011, 09:52 PM

NBC is making changes to its midseason schedule. Dramedy Parenthood, which was slated to air 4 episodes in January in its regular Tuesday 10 time period, take a break and then move to the Monday 10 PM berth on March 7, will now remain in its Tuesday slot through the end of the season. Law & Order: Los Angeles, which was scheduled to take over the Tuesday 10 PM slot on Feb. 8, will now be held back, with its return date/slot TBD. The decision comes after two consecutive solid showings for Parenthood (2.3 and 2.2 Live + same day 18-49 rating), which came from winter hiatus 21% higher, as well as an OK premiere for Harry's Law in the Monday 10 PM slot last night (2.1 demo rating and a time slot-winning audience of 11 million). NBC had planned to air only 6 of the 13 episodes of Harry's Law on Mondays before Parenthood moved in; now it will extend the run of David E. Kelley's newest legal drama. The move also won't break Parenthood's current momentum. And last but not least, the decision to hold LOLA will give the Law & Order spinoff some breathing room as it is undergoing major creative changes.

Somehow I didn't see it lasting. In many cases, "hiatus" means permanent cancellation.

I tried to watch an episode. It's awful.
