NBC's Summer Plans
Just as the regular season is nearing
a close, the networks are gearing up for a busier than ever summer season.
While all the networks have announced some fo their plans, last week NBC
went ahead and spilled all the beans. Here's what you can watch on the
peacock this summer.

nights, it did okay numbers, but nothing spectacular.
