Took much longer than expected
So basically canceled?
I thought they will just let this one air until the season ends
When will they pull Harry’s Law from the schedule. Who knows how many episodes they have left to air to even one more is too much.
It’s too bad, because it’s an outstanding show. People have been slamming it without actually watching it.
I think NBC will stick with it, though. It’s not uncommon to dump a news show during sweeps.
if Rock Center were a scripted show it would certainly mean “canceled” but with a news show, I wouldn’t write it off just yet.
nothing against Williams but Thank god this took longer then it should have
Finally. What took so long?
Hasn’t it been airing since November Sweeps?
Was not a bad show at all.. just not the right timing for it..
Why didn’t NBC yank Awake? It’s doing just as poorly.
It took so long that they might as well have stuck with it.
I can’t imagine SVU doing worse. If NBC is going to stick with Rock Center, it is going to have to rethink where it should be on the schedule.
Love the show but NBC should have considered this when SVU started Hitting series lows.
Rock Center was a very interesting news program. They talked about things I actually cared about, however its two time slots were poor. Friday, Saturday, or Sunday I think is best for this one.
Some good news for NBC unscripted, Fashion Star has been renewed! I never watched it, but good for NBC.
Didn’t NBC learn from the “Jay Leno” show mistake?? I guess not with this trainwreck.
Another news reader bites the dust. Adios.
Really this show should only be used as a part time summer filler or occasional non sweeps filler when they can pull in someone hot from the headlines.
It was obvious this was coming, but it’s really too bad because it is (was?) a very good show. The show last week on the Bin Laden raid should win an Emmy.
