Another year, another midseason order. Zucker's baby lives!!!
ps. - Zucker runs NBC programming. He's a real life Bruce Dalrymple. He can't get enough "Elaine" either. If he cancelled her show, he'd have to join Greenpeace.

Good to hear that. Now we can explore with Dr. Zimmerman his muted, marginal life a bit more, and find out what Ellie is going to do with her married Englishman and ditzy sister. Marlon V.

And Zucker is one of those Harvard TV execs who has shepherded a new series, "Good Morning Miami," which happens to be about a Harvard TV exec and will air at 9:30 Thursdays this fall.
Peter Mehlman was right on target about the Harvard influence on TV on that "It's like, you know..." episode. There are too many of them running the industry.

Just because some more episodes are ordered doesn't mean they'll ever air. Another show has to really crash and burn in order for anything to make it back on the schedule in midseason. NBC seems to have gotten into a stand-pat mode judging by their fall schedule.
As far as the show itself, it had some promising elements--including JLD's performance and the real-time concept---but it has really needed a lot more true laughs at a time you never got more than mild chuckles.

Yeah, that'll never happen--everyone knows that all new shows succeed. ;-)
