NBC announced their fall line-up today too. Of course, NBC’s new schedule revolves around the addition of The Jay Leno Show Monday through Friday at 10 PM EST.

Noticeably absent from the schedule are My Name Is Earl and Medium, both have been cancelled but may be picked up by ABC or CBS. It looks like the shows’ stars were as surprised as their fans to hear the news. This morning, My Name Is Earl star Ethan Suplee tweeted: “Just got the call that My Name Is Earl has been canceled. They sure did take their time with that decision or rather informing us of it.”

New shows on the network include a new paramedic show, Trauma, which will follow Heroes on Mondays, a new apocalypse show, Day One,will air Mondays at 9 p.m. beginning in February, Joel McHale’s Community, which will follow The Office on Thursday and Parenthood which will be on at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays in the fall before  Mercy takes over the time slot in mid season.

NBC has officially announced its fall line-up which includes 6 new scripted series, The Jay Leno Show, and three new “alternative” programs, The Marriage Ref, Who Do You Think You Are?, and Breakthrough with Tony Robbins.

As we’ve mentioned, one of the new scripted shows the network is trying is a one-hours series based on the 1988 movie Parenthood. The show’s cast has been filled in with some of TV’s biggest names including Peter Krause (Dirty Sexy Money, Six Feet Under), Craig T. Nelson (The Family Stone, Coach), Sarah Ramos (In Treatment), and two ER alums, Maura Tierney and Miles Heizer which gives us hope the show might be pretty good but like everything else in TV, there are no guarantees.

Anther show officially added to NBC’s fall line-up is Trauma, a drama about first-responder paramedics who rush by land, sea or air to reach their victims in San Francisco.

After finally canceling the network’s longest running medical drama, ER, NBC just couldn’t resist ordering a new one to replace it. Mercy, starring Gossip Girl’s Michelle Trachtenberg and Men in Trees’ James Tupper, is about a nurse who “bucks the rules and schools the doctors at their own game.”

What is sure to be their most buzzed about new series, Day One, is about “the aftermath of a global catastrophe that has devastated the world’s infrastructures and an eclectic band of survivors who try to rebuild society and figure out what happened. Not surprisingly, the show is produced by Jesse Alexander who teamed with J.J. Abrams for Lost and Alias.

Chevy Chase is returning to TV in Community, a sitcom about a group of misfits who form a study group at a community college.

100 Questions rounds out the network’s new scripted programming. The series is about a woman searching for love online. She flashes back to previous relationships as she answers each of the 100 computability questions asked on a dating website.

The Office, 30 Rock, The Biggest Loser, The Celebrity Apprentice, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Friday Night Lights, Heroes, Southland, Parks and Recreation and Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday will all be returning as well.

Is NBC’s new comedy Parks and Recreation in trouble even before it debuts? The raw pilot for the Amy Poehler vehicle by the producers behind The Office was recently screened for test audiences, where it received largely negative reviews. The results of the focus group leaked on the internet over the weekend.

Parks and Recreation is scheduled to premiere on April 9. If any changes are going to be made to the pilot based on the focus group’s responses, the producers will need to scramble. Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily details some of the findings here. The biggest complaint seems to be that the show is a derivative Office clone. They didn’t need to get an entire focus group; I’ve only seen the promos and I could’ve told them that.

The pilot also suffers from poorly-developed characters, no appealing or “datable” male characters, and slow pacing. The test audience also thought there was a lack of clear motivation behind the documentary framing device.

NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman dismissed the results, telling EW that negative responses to rough cuts are common. “If you had seen the initial research on all of ours and our competitors’ successful shows, it tends to be like that.” However, this is the same man who thinks five hours of Jay Leno at the 10:00 pm hour instead of original scripted programming is a brilliant idea. How does Silverman still have a job?

Yesterday, we took a look at the mid-season premieres ABC has lined-up this month. Here’s a look at what we can expect from NBC.

Southland is a new cop drama about Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie), a rookie cop who’s being shown the ropes by his partner, John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz). The young cop struggles with the cost that comes with his new profession, like the difficulty he has with shooting a man dead on his first day. The show has a perfect time slot, it will take over ER’s Thrusday night position on April 9th, which is fitting since its executive producer, John Wells, was also the executive producer of ER.

Amy Poehler’s much hyped new show, Parks and Recreation also premieres on April 9th. Parks and Recreation is a mockumnetary about a local government public works office brought to you by the same folks who are running The Office. Critics love it, positioning Poehler to be the next Tina Fey, but hopefully Amy will have better luck finding an audience than her friend Tina has had with 30 Rock.

NBC’s third mid-season show is their biggest gamble. Kings premiered last night to so-so ratings. The epic drama is set in an alternate-universe monarchy in which a peasant prince is groomed to become the king. Fans of epic tales, like Battlestar Galactica, will most likely love Kings but the rest of us will probably pass it by.

Fox is premiering yest another prime-time animated series, Sit Down, Shut Up, about a high school as seen through the eyes of the demented teachers and administrators who run it. The twist in Sit Down, Shut Up is that the characters are animated but the background is live action. Even if that doesn’t sound appealing, The stellar cast makes up for it. Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Kristin Chenoweth, Cheri Oteri, and Tom Kenny all provide voices.
