TV networks are announcing their Fall 2013 lineups all week, and NBC and Fox are the first to reveal their next season’s schedules. Of note comedy-wise is that NBC is only airing comedies on Thursday nights this fall, abandoning the Tuesday 9-10pm and Wednesday 8-9pm sitcom mini-blocks that hosted now-canceled shows like Guys with Kids and Go On. Parks and Recreation is moving to that 8pm Thursday slot (the Friends timeslot).
At Fox, the Andy Samberg/Mike Schur cop series Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Seth MacFarlane’s Dads will join the network’s Tuesday night comedy block. Raising Hope and new Army comedy Enlisted will premiere on Fridays later in the fall. Fox’s midseason comedies Surviving Jack, Us & Them, and Murder Police have yet to be scheduled. Same goes for NBC’s midseason comedy Undateable and the fifth season of Community, which will debut whenever one of the new sitcoms gets canceled like last season.
Check out clips from NBC’s new sitcoms and both networks’ fall schedules below:
