With the new TV season just weeks away from beginning, it's time to take an early look at NBC's schedule and make some predictions for their lineup of scripted programs, which includes several new series, sophomore shows that may be in danger of not making it to season three, and aging series that may be nearing the end of their runs.

NBC Renew/Cancel Week 27: Final Predictions for Law & Order, The Hunting Party, On Brand with Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live & More!

It's the final NBC Renew/Cancel of the season, and few shows remain on the bubble in this final week.  Keep reading to see my final thoughts on Law & Order, The Haunting Party, On Brand with Jimmy Fallon, and more, plus, my thoughts on NBC's recent renewals and cancellations.

NBC Renews The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins for Season Two

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins hasn't fallen yet. NBC has renewed the Tracy Morgan-led freshman sitcom for a second season of ten episodes, the same episode count as its first season. Reggie Dinkins was NBC's highest-rated series in the key 18-49 demo, with a 0.38 average, though that was heavily inflated by a post-NFL premiere. Without the NFL lead-in, it averaged 0.27 in the demo, knocking the show down to seventh among NBC's scripted programming - still above comedy Happy's Place, the lowest-rated scripted series to earn a renewal on NBC so far this season. The renewal comes less than a week after the cancellation of Stumble, NBC's other freshman sitcom from this season, which boasted a significantly lower 0.17 average. Reggie Dinkins comes from a creative team that includes creator Robert Carlock and executive producer Tina Fey, who have lengthy working relationships with NBC. Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, Precious Way, Bobby Moynihan, and Jalyn Hall star alongside Morgan in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
