NBC Announces Fall Schedule
NBC is the first network to announce their new schedule for 2006-2007 today, and I have to admit it's looking pretty good for the troubled peacock network. On top of welcoming back an endangered gem like Scrubs, they are serving us with six new dramas and four new comedies.
The shows that I'll be counting on to feed my obsession for quality television are:
20 GOOD YEARS
"This high-energy comedy follows two New Yorkers who have finally realized that life doesn't last forever. Mismatched buddies John Mason (Emmy Award winner John Lithgow, "3rd Rock from the Sun"), an impulsive, thrice-divorced surgeon who has been forced into retirement — and Jeffrey Pyne (Jeffrey Tambor, "Arrested Development"), a widower judge who agonizes over every situation — are polar opposites in every way. The one thing the duo can agree on is that they only have about 20 good years left and both men vow to live each day as if it were their last — with no regrets."
ANDY BARKER, P.I.
"Andy Richter ("Late Night with Conan O'Brien") re-teams with co-writer and executive producer Conan O'Brien in this comedy as he portrays Andy Barker, an earnest, hard-working CPA who has succeeded at everything — that is until his new accounting business fails to take off. But when he's mistaken for Lew Staziak (Harve Presnell, "Fargo") — the retired private detective who used to occupy his office — Andy embraces the twist of fate and takes the case. Andy's incessantly supportive wife Jen (Amy Farrington, "The New Adventures of Old Christine") isn't sold on this risky new venture, that is, until she notices a sudden boost in Andy's self-confidence. Andy's neighboring merchants — Simon (Tony Hale, "Arrested Development"), Wally (Marshall Manesh, "Will & Grace") and Jessica (Ion Overman, "The L Word") join him in the dicey investigation. Whether chiding thugs for "renting instead of buying" or being pursued by Sri Lankan gangsters, Andy will prove to be a consummate problem-solver."
I can't wait to see Jeffrey Tambor, John Lithgow and Tony Hale in action! Find out what the rest of the lineup is and read the official NBC statement in full here.
Tomorrow ABC will be announcing it's fall schedule as will the other networks in the coming days. I'm mostly waiting to be put out of my misery over the faith of Veronica Mars, and anticipating to hear the CW's whole lineup, which will be unveiled on Thursday.
