NBC Cancels...

"UnderCovers" was cancelled by NBC today. This comes as no surprise. Last night the spy drama only managed a 1.3 adult 18-49 rating.

The next three scheduled episodes will air as planned. No word if the remaining three yet to be scheduled will see the light of day.

This is now the second show in my original "Top Five Shows to Watch this Season" to be cancelled. The first being "Lone Star," now long forgotten.

Fixing NBC's Schedule

Things aren't looking good over at NBC. All of their new shows have drastically dropped from their premieres and most of their returning shows aren't doing so well either. So how can NBC help itself?

First, cancel "The Apprentice." It's atrocious ratings are really bringing down NBC's 18-49 average, and the networks best night of the week-Thursday.

Finally, they should mix up their schedule. "Undercovers" might pick up some of "Chuck's" fans if it aired Mondays at 9 p.m. "The Event" might do better if it aired during a less competitive timeslot, such as Tuesdays at 10p.m.

From there, "Parenthood" should move to 10p.m. Wednesdays, hopefully gaining an audience from "SVU" fans. The "LA" version of "Law & Order" would then move to Thursdays at 10p.m.

Here is my suggestion at how to improve their schedule.

MONDAY

8p.m.- Chuck

9p.m.- Undercovers

10p.m.- Chase

TUESDAY

8p.m.- The Biggest Loser

10p.m.- The Event

WEDNESDAY

8p.m.- Minute to Win it

9p.m.- Law & Order: SVU

10p.m.- Parenthood

THURSDAY

8p.m.- Community

8:30p.m.- 30 Rock

9p.m.- The Office

9:30p.m.- Parks and Recreation (Because Outsourced is just really awful)

10p.m.- Law & Order: LA

NBC Hands out more Full Season Orders

"Chuck" and "Chase" have both been given full season orders. "Chuck" will now have 24 episodes this season and "Chase" will have 22.

NBC also ordered four additional scripts for "Undercovers."

This is surprising for both "Chase" and "Undercovers" due to both their latest 18-49 ratings being below 1.7.

Wednesday's Overnight Ratings: 10p.m. hour drops

Last night the entire 10p.m. hour took a hit in the ratings. Law & Order: LA fell from its premiere adult 18-49 rating of 3.1 to a 2.4 rating, however it still won the hour. Undercovers also fell another tenth of a rating point to a 1.5 rating.

Cougar Town was able to rise two tenths of a rating point to a 3.1 rating.

Cancellation Already Looming

It's only the second week into the new television season, but several new shows are already in danger of cancellation. Below is the list of who's in danger, and why they might be saved

1. Undercovers

Why it's in danger: Only premiered with a 2.0 in the 18-49 key demos, but that dropped to a 1.6 this week. Even with J.J. Abrams name attached to it, Undercovers chances of a full season pick up already seem very unlikely.

Saving Grace: Nothing, unless people start watching, which doesn't seem likely.

2. The Whole Truth

Why it's in danger: ABC's new legal drama started off in worse shape with a 1.6 in the demos, and dropped even further this past week.

Saving Grace: This isn't the only new show that's doing poorly for ABC, and I doubt the network wants all of its shows to fail.

3. My Generation

Why it's in danger: This ABC show also only premiered with a 1.6, and if the trends continue, will most likely drop further tonight.

Saving Grace: This isn't the only new show that's doing poorly for ABC, and I doubt the network wants all of its shows to fail.

4. Detroit 187

Why it's in danger: It's been getting a 2.2 in the key demos.

Saving Grace: It's been getting a 2.2 in the key demos, and for new dramas on ABC, that's looking good.

5. The Defenders

Why it's in danger: Out of all the new CBS shows The Defenders has the lowest ratings in the key demos with a 2.5.

Saving Grace: A 2.5 really isn't that bad. It's not great, but it's not bad.

6. Outlaw

Why it's in danger: In its time-slot premiere, it scored a 1.0. Granted it's on a Friday night, but that's not even good enough for the slowest weeknight of television.

Saving Grace: It's on Friday, but that's a stretch.
