Copied-and-pasted from thewrap.com, with commentary: NBC FALL 2014-15 SCHEDULE
(New programs in UPPER CASE; all times ET) MONDAY 8-10 p.m. — “The Voice” 10-11 p.m. — “The Blacklist” / “STATE OF AFFAIRS” (beginning Nov. 17)--The Katherine Heigl-plays-a CIA-op drama that has already received a lot of razzing simply because it's Heigl (and her mom manager is listed as an EP). Chicagoan Cliff Chamberlain of the House Theatre is in the cast, Joe Carnaham's the showrunner. "The Blacklist moves to Thursday nights in February, after getting the coveted post-Super Bowl slot. TUESDAY 8-9 p.m. — “The Voice” 9-9:30 p.m. — “MARRY ME”--The new one-camera sitcom from "Happy Endings" creator David Caspe, with "HE" cast member (and GF) Casey Wilson playing a potential bride that will only commit when Ken Marino (in his first series longer than a web show or Adult Swim show since "Eastbound and Down") says yes, by mutual agreement, presumably in the last episode. 9:30-10 p.m. — “About a Boy” 10-11 p.m. — “Chicago Fire” WEDNESDAY 8-9 p.m. — “THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA”--Debra Messing as a police detective and mother, in what sounds like a procedural with a little bit of serialization mixed in. Based on a Spanish series (presumably not a novela). 9-10 p.m. — “Law & Order: SVU” 10-11 p.m. — “Chicago P.D.” THURSDAY 8-9 p.m. — “The Biggest Loser” 9-9:30 p.m. — “BAD JUDGE”--The Kate Walsh one-camera sitcom (from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay) where she plays an LA criminal court judge. (“The Blacklist” beginning Feb. 5) 9:30-10 p.m. — “A TO Z”--Ben Feldman and Cristin "The Mother" Milioti meet cute and hopefully continue their relationship cute in this one-camera romcom, with Rashida Jones as a trophy producer and Katy Sagal narrating (presumably as Milioti's character talking to her kids in future, just like Saget on Milioti's old show). 10-11 p.m. — “Parenthood” "Parenthood" saved by its chinny-chin-chin again and what probably will be the last cycle(s) of "The Biggest Loser" thrown in as a sacrifice to either Thursday Night Football or "Big Bang Theory," if that's how CBS is going.

DRAMA TBA: AQUARIUS--David Duchovny as a 60s LAPD detective going after those dirty hippies--ITV is producing, but it seems not to be based on a British series. EMERALD CITY--We're off to see the weird, dark Wizard of Oz in this remake from the guy behind the Canadian series about a reality show "Siberia" that was on NBC last summer. HEROES REBORN--The cheerleader can't be saved because she's a country singer now, but it's the reboot of the only-good-in-season-1 series about ordinary people gaining super powers. ODYSSEY--A conspiracy drama with a potentially very complicated plot (like it's on cable!), with Anna Friel, Treat Williams, Peter Facinelli and Steppenwolf Theatre's Jim True-Frost. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
