After a six week new episode layoff, NBC’s Chuck returns with a new episode tonight (and as Robert noted, our site traffic returns tomorrow morning). Chuck faces new episode competition on broadcast (except for the CW), although ABC has The Bachelor instead of Dancing with the Stars. On cable, Monday Night Football is absent for the rest of the television season. Chuck drew adults 18-49 ratings of 1.8, 1.7, and 2.0 in its last three original episodes. The Cape moves to its regular Monday 9pm timeslot. Its double episode Sunday premiere 8 days ago averaged a 2.6 rating. How does it fare tonight? The premiere of Harry’s Law enters the fray at 10pm against a new episode of Hawaii Five-0 and a Castle repeat on broadcast. The last three new episodes of Chase in that time slot scored a 1.4, 1.6 and 1.5 adults 18-49 rating. Can David E. Kelley and Kathy Bates reverse NBC’s fortunes in that hour? How well will it premiere?
Harry´s Law is one of the new NBC comedies that will premiere on MidSeason. Harry´s Law premieres January 17th on NBC. Emmy Award-winning writer/producer David E. Kelley (“Boston Legal,” “The Practice,” “Ally McBeal”) weaves his rich storytelling into a new legal dramedy starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates in the title role – about how people can embrace the unexpected and other curveballs that life can throw at them. Harriet “Harry” Korn (Kathy Bates, “Misery,” “About Schmidt”) doesn’t believe things happen for a reason, but she discovers that they sometimes do. A curmudgeonly ex-patent lawyer, Harry is abruptly fired from her blue chip law firm, forcing her to search for a fresh start. She finds it when her world unexpectedly collides, literally, with Malcolm Davies (Aml Ameen, “Kidulthood”), a kind-hearted college student who desperately needs Harry’s help with his pending court case, and he subsequently goes to work for her. Harry soon finds her balance as well as new offices in an abandoned shoe store just as legal hotshot Adam Branch (Nate Corddry, “The United States of Tara,” “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip”) accidentally hits her while driving. Inspired by Harry’s no-nonsense understanding of the law, Adam decides to take leave of his shiny corporate firm to go and work with her. Harry, Adam and Malcolm – unlikely but kindred spirits – along with the help of Harry’s shoe-savant assistant, Jenna (Brittany Snow, “Hairspray,” “American Dreams”), are now ready for whatever walks in through the doors of their unique establishment – Harriet’s Law and Fine Shoes. In this behind the scenes videoThe first extended look at Harry’s Law is here. Cast interviews, scenes from the premiere and more are all included in this nearly-3 minute video
