I think it was Mark who asked if The Blacklist would survive being removed from its Voice cocoon; that is not a rhetorical question. NBC has been singularly incompetent in developing dramas, and the retirement of Munch underlines just how desperate the situation has become for them. SVU has been the closest thing to a workhorse drama for NBC since, I guess, ER and the L&O mothership were pulling their weight. Parenthood has been a modest success, but probably would not have seen a second season if it had been on CBS. If CBS cancels Hawaii FIve-0 this year (but they won't, I don't think) NBC should seriously consider snatching that up (The Good Wife and The Mentalist are both probably a little too long in the tooth to be useful in that role). They can't get reliable procedurals that appeal to old folks like CBS, or trashy soap operas that appeal to young people like ABC. I still think they should try moving some of the pseudo-quirky dramas that do pretty well on their cable sisters over to the Peacock. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
