Okay, if you notice anything weird about this schedule, it’s that a lot of those buzzed about pilots are being saved for Midseason. Then there’s Revolution, which goes from 10 pm to 8 pm on Wednesdays? That show, the family hour??? It’s so hopeless and violent! That’s um, well, oh heck, this is NBC. Imaginations rule!
Community, which was renewed, is not on the schedule, which makes it a fill in utility player. There’s no word on Hannibal either. I don’t see the Chicago Fire Spinoff either. For those comparing this to my fantasy schedule, I was very, very wrong. Except I got Saturday and Sunday right.

This is a terrible schedule. I didn’t expect Revolution to stay on Monday, but 8 on Wed? Why couldn’t it have been 10 on Wed? Oh well.
Assuming Arrow & SPN stay on Wed that’s what I’m watching live.
I do agree with the terrible. I’m stunned that they’re taking two of their most promising new series and throwing them together midseason on Sundays. Yikes! That’s not a waste of money at all. I’m taking odds as to how fast Ironside crashes and burns. Two episodes or three?
Ah well, looks like I won’t be watching this network live at all this year.
I know — or why didn’t they lead the night with Ironside if they think its hot? Wed makes no sense – people that watch Revolution aren’t going to stay for SVU. I’m guessing they think Ironside is compatible w/ SVU but Revolution is a terrible lead in for that programming. It would almost work better on Fridays.
Revolution, Grimm and maybe Crossbones and the Voice – depending what’s opposite and that’s it for me.
P.S. No Sixth Gun or Gothica but Dracula? Really? Kinda late to the Vampire game, aren’t they?
