NBC was once the only place to watch TV on Thursday night. However, over the years, the network lost a few Friends, and a whole lot of viewers. More recently shows Like 30 Rock and The Office raked in the accolades, but did little to raise ratings. Now NBC is hoping for a comeback with two new comedies, A to Z starting How I Met Your Mother’s Cristin Milioti, and Mad Men’s Ben Feldman, as well as Bad Judge staring Fargo’s Kate Walsh. Check the official plot previews for the new series below.
TV Guide’s plot preview for the new series, A to Z, reads:
“A student of the How I Met Your Mother school of television, A to Z is a romantic comedy that chronicles a relationship from beginning to end, à la 500 Days of Summer. Mad Men's Ben Feldman stars (with both of his nipples!) as Andrew, a true believer in destiny and romance, while HIMYM's ever-charming Cristin Milioti plays the object of his affection, Zelda. (A to Z, get it?) Lenora Crichlow, Henry Zebrowski, and Christina Kirk round out the cast.”
That is not the only new comedy coming to NBC Thursday night this fall. The new Kate Walsh comedy, Bad Judge also premieres this fall. The TV Guide synopsis for the all new show, reads:
“This single-camera comedy stars Kate Walsh (Private Practice, Fargo) as Rebecca Wright, one of L.A.'s most respected criminal court judges. But here's the (overused and kind-of-boring) catch: While Rebecca totally and completely has it together in her work life, her personal life is the exact definition of a hot mess. She's flaky, she sleeps around without a care in the world, and she parties like she's still in college (so we're guessing she has the world's worst hangovers). She does drive a sweet van, though! John Ducey, Tone Bell, and Theodore Barnes also star.”
