Yeah, it’s probably a good idea to let Southland go and go with these no-so original ideas.
GOOOOOOOO NBC!
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.
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.
Ordinary People may have some potential depending on who gets cast.
Where’s Medium?
I miss Medium.
