Why doesn’t a network announce all their renewals/pick-ups/cancellations at once?
I heard this show was being called Next caller Please?
Lets get real here Dane Cook over Roseanne, what is NBC even smoking?
sounds like next years BENT…i hope Dane Cook doesn’t quit his day job..
won’t last long, i can already tell
@kyle , yeah they have ordered about 9 or 10 comedies to their line up for next year. I bet more than 6 of them will be cancelled(wouldn’t be surprised if all of them do)
Dane Cook = Poop. Hope this satisfies the guy that was happy no one was bad mouthing Dane Cook…equals Poop.

Enjoy Parks & Rec – it’s my favorite comedy.
Maybe new shows’ descriptions (and/or video clips) will come with next week’s upfronts posts. I think we got short previews of the pilots during last May’s upfronts week.
Did the people at NBC not watch “Good Luck Chuck”?
I used to love Dane Cook (not that I hate him now, I just don’t keep up with his work). He is not the best with scripted stuff. Perhaps if there is a chance for him to improv it could be something.
From the Tribune:
“Next Caller,” starring the comedian as an alpha-male DJ.
Written and produced by Stephen Falk, the single-camera comedy from Universal and Lionsgate finds Cook’s character, Cam, working with a “plucky, feminist co-host” at a satellite radio station, according to the network. Marc Buckland directed the pilot.

Alpha male? Plucky? I am guessing they will be a will they/won’t they trope?
@robertseldman Is there still a chance of downward lay mobile Bering shopped to another network? Do you know if it is completely over for contention in all networks?
I meant Downwardly mobile. Sorry for the mistakes.
