#NBC CHICAGO SERIES#

NBC dropped the Thursday comedy block for the last two seasons, opting for event series like The Slap and Heroes Reborn as well as reality series in the hour. Starting the night at 8 PM is the new hourlong comedy block of returning Superstore and the new Mike Schur series The Good Place starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson.

Meanwhile, after holding up the Thursday tent by itself for a season and a half as a 9 PM anchor, The Blacklist is being moved to 10 PM, a time slot where it did well on Mondays, with Chicago Med as a lead-in. On Wednesday, Blindspot replaces another WBTV series, the cancelled Mysteries of Laura.Д«esides Timeless, the second new series to benefit from The VoiceВ lead-in is Dan FogelmanвЂ™s well received dramedy This Is Us, which replaces Chicago Med on Tuesday. The Blacklist was moved out of the Monday 10 PM slot half-way through its second season, but it too has struggled. Revolution quickly fizzled when NBC did the same to it. вЂњJust because we have the OlympicsВ doesnвЂ™t mean we should upend a schedule that is working,вЂќ he said.Д«lindspot is facing a tough challenge in its move to open Wednesday night after only one season behind The Voice on Monday. For the fall, the network is keeping things stable with just three new series, dramas Timeless and This Is Us and comedy The Good Place, as the bulk of the networkвЂ™s new shows are kept for midseason.В DuringВ a press call, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt touted the вЂњvery little upheavalвЂќВ and addressed the decision to launch so few new series in the fall, following the summer Olympics. NBC is introducing a drama-heavy 2016-17 lineup with 15 new and returning hourlong series and seven comedies. Saturday Night Live (encores)ДЁ:20-11 P.M.
