While the 2008 presidential elections is long done and Obama has already assumed office, NBC bigwigs still feel that the news is still hot ticket, as they order at least six and as many as thirteen primetime editions of Weekend Update, one of the more popular segments of Saturday Night Live.  The peacock network produced special primetime editions of Update last season during the campaign period, the weeks leading to the November polls, all to excellent ratings.

May 4, 2009

NBC unveiled their slate of programs for the 2009-2010 season this morning.  Six new pilots were picked up (two comedies, four dramas).  NBC failed to concoct an actual day-by-day schedule for the Fall - they are expected to release that schedule within a couple of weeks.  Not mentioned during NBC's announcement this morning were the likes of Chuck, Medium, My Name is Earl, Law & Order and Life.  Some of those series could get picked up for mid-season.  As of right now, the fall schedule looks filled to the brim, especially when you consider that Jay Leno's new show will be taking up five hours of prime-time per week.  For Chuck fans, the wait continues, although the forecast isn't terribly bright.  Shows picked up for next season include Parks and Recreation, Southland and Heroes.  NBC has also ordered six more episodes of Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday for the Fall.
