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.

While it seems that NBC is having trouble picking which shows to keep, the stars of their very own detective drama are talking amongst themselves. 

Earlier this morning, NBC issued a press release announcing their mid-season schedule for January 2009.  The biggest omissions for January are

Hauling it away from the dark Friday pit it got stuck in, NBC‘s Life is back on track.  In the hopes of shooting up the ratings, the series received a full-season order to boot.  Last year it registered 8 million viewers, but it went a couple steps low on the scale.  It obtained an average of 6 million this season, but NBC is surely sticking by its side. 

Life‘s move to Wednesday nights seems to have saved it for this season, at the very least.  The ratings for NBC‘s newest police drama has shown a considerable improvement after seeing it grapple with cancellation-level ratings during its Friday time slot.  (Then again, what else do you expect for shows that are aired on Fridays?)  Now, the series is assured to last for an entire season, as the network has ordered a full season for the freshman drama.

As reported previously, NBC has decided to bring back Life on Wednesday nights after several weeks of cancellation-level ratings on Fridays at 10pm.  As part of its last ditch effort to save
