    Yeah, it’s probably a good idea to let Southland go and go with these no-so original ideas.

    GOOOOOOOO NBC!

  • Susan

    Yuck!!

    With the dearth of African-American sitcoms on the networks these days, it’s good to see NBC giving one a shot. That being said, I doubt I’ll watch either of these shows, and “Nola Rising” is a terrible title.

      “Nola Rising” is also a terrible concept.

    Ordinary people = My wife and kids – Keenan Wayans. BAD IDEA
    And I abhor the idea of this Nola Rising show and I’m a Witch who believes in the supernatural. :-(

    What was wrong with keeping Southland on? NBC is sooooo stupid!!!! They have a time slot for these but not Southland!!! So fustrating!!

    Nola Rising is going to TANK, and Ordinary People will do ok then just simmer away slowly.

  • Nola

    Now come on people, let’s give it a chance, and I’m not just saying that because my name is Nola and it tickles me.

  • Sarah

    Ordinary People may have some potential depending on who gets cast.
