It is being reported that The Enemy Within has been cancelled after its first season. The thriller premiered in February for a 13-episode run that concluded with its now-series finale on May 20. The show got off to a decent start in the ratings over its first few episodes, but viewers seemed to lose interest as the weeks wore on. Reception from critics was generally mixed, with no real glowing praise to garner additional buzz. The Enemy Within followed brilliant former CIA operative Erica Shepherd, who became known as the most notorious traitor in American history after betraying her country. While serving a life sentence in a Supermax prison, Erica is contacted…

It's a sad day for the #Clockblockers out there, as NBC has once again cancelled Timeless. The move marks the second straight year that the network has pulled the plug on the series, only this time there will be no reversal of its decision. Fans of the action drama had been holding out hope since last month's finale that a third season may be in the cards. And like last year, the show ended on another major cliffhanger that might not ever be resolved. I say 'might' because there have reportedly been discussions between NBC and the show's producers about a possible two-hour movie that would properly conclude the story and give fans the closure they undoubtedly would a…

NBC has cancelled Revolution, opting to pull the plug on the sophomore series after two seasons. The show's Season 2 ratings have been lackluster, and far below its Season 1 numbers. Revolution got off to a strong start when it first premiered in 2012, debuting with a strong 4.1 rating in the adults 18-49 demo and staying at a 2.6 or above for the first half of the season. Viewership dipped for the back half but stayed at a respectable number to warrant a renewal. The show's second season has been a different story, with its premiere starting at a 1.8 and falling as low as 1.1 for its most-recent episode this past Wednesday. Revolution's series finale is scheduled to air …

NBC has cancelled Smash after two seasons. The musical drama has had its share of troubles since premiering as a mid-season replacement in February 2012.

After ratings for Season 2 plummeted, the network moved Smash to Saturday nights to burn off the remainder of its episodes. The series finale of Smash will air on May 26, 2013.

It is being reported that NBC has cancelled The Michael J. Fox Show, removing the freshman comedy's remaining episodes from its schedule. The show premiered last fall with a straight-to-series order of 22 episodes - a full season's worth - but has only aired 15 of those to this point. It is unknown whether the remaining seven episodes will ever be released. Today's cancellation comes one week after the network pulled the plug on Sean Saves the World, another freshman comedy that shared the 9:00pm comedy hour with The Michael J. Fox Show on Thursday nights. In the time slot, episodes of Hollywood Game Night will air beginning February 27. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter…

Freshman comedy Working the Engels has been cancelled after one season. The Canadian-based series, which starred Andrea Martin, was a collaboration between U.S. and Canadian entities - the first of its kind for a sitcom. NBC pulled Working the Engels from its schedule today, cutting its debut run short after just five episodes. Canadian broadcaster Global Television, which aired season one in its entirety earlier this year, announced that the show has been cancelled up north as well, citing low ratings as the primary reason.

It is being reported that NBC has lowered the episode count for Season 2 of About A Boy to 20, down from its original order of 22. While only a slight adjustment down, the timing of the move could be telling as it comes a day after the comedy fell to a series low rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic. With the show nine episodes into its second season, the network still has time to watch how viewership fares over the coming months before deciding its fate - so long as its numbers don't continue to slide.

[imgleft] [/imgleft]NBC is patching the Jay Leno-shaped hole in its prime-time schedule by adding to the orders of several of its series. Both "Law & Order" and "Law & Order: SVU," which will move back to 10 p.m. in March, have been extended. So have "Trauma," the once-believed-dead show that will return to Mondays since "Parenthood" is moving to 10 p.m. Tuesdays, and comedies "Community" and "Parks and Recreation." "L&O" classic will get three extra episodes this season, pushing its total to 22, while "SVU" is doing two more hours for a total of 25, the Live Feed reports. "Trauma" will get four more shows, going from 16 to 20 and taking the show into ea…

NBC announced today that Manifest will be coming back for a second season. The good news arrives two months following the drama's freshman run, and will surely come as a relief to fans curious to get to the bottom of the show's over-arching mystery. The hour-long series premiered last September as one of the fall's hottest shows. Through its first four weeks on the air, Manifest ranked as the season's most-watched and highest-rated new series. That strong momentum could not be sustained for the entirety of its run though, as its numbers came down to earth for the back-half of the season. Manifest follows the passengers and crew of Montego Air Flight 828, which r…

Word is out that NBC Universal is reviving A.P. Bio for a third season on its upcoming streaming service. The good news comes two months after the comedy was cancelled following two low-rated seasons on NBC. Created by Mike O'Brien and produced by Seth Meyers, the comedy premiered in 2018 as a mid-season entry that ultimately garnered mixed reviews and underwhelming viewership. Still, it was renewed for a second go-round, though its sophomore run did not improve its fortunes and it was axed in June. Today's revival makes A.P. Bio the first confirmed original series on the as-yet-unnamed streaming service, which is set to debut sometime in 2020. While the show's …

NBC announced today that it is increasing its order for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, adding five episodes to the comedy's debut outing on the network. Slated for a mid-season run in 2018-2019, the half-hour series will now air a total of 18 episodes rather than the originally-planned 13. It was back in May that the network saved the series just one day after it was cancelled by Fox after five seasons. Though the quick revival came as somewhat of a surprise, the move to NBC does make sense, as the network had originally expressed interest in the show back in 2012 while it was searching for a home. Led by Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg, Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows an…

[imgleft] [/imgleft] Heard of the failcock? No? Well it seems web designers are now jumping on the NBC-bashing bandwagon. Media savvy web designer Mitch Canter posted a twitpic of a not too flattering NBC logo he had created. It's a hybrid of the NBC peacock logo and the Twitter "fail whale" image that appears when Twitter is over capacity. The original fail whale image -- a flock of Twitter birds attempting to haul a whale -- was designed by Yiying Lu and has become a pop culture icon, generally representing unsuccessful or struggling projects. "I just finished designing NBC's new logo. I call it the #failcock #conan #nbcfail," Canter, a concierge web designer w…
