And then there were none. The last of the leftover midseason series new NBC chief Bob Greenblatt inherited from the old regime, Friends with Benefits, is getting a time slot … sort of. The ensemble comedy series will air back-to-back episodes in the least-watched hour on television, Saturdays at 8-9 PM, starting June 25. The second-to-last NBC midseason series to finally launch was Love Bites, which premiered last week in the Thursday 10 PM slot it was originally slated in a year ago.

might as well air them…or at least put them on On Demand…
Why not just air this on Thursday nights along with Love Bites and the leftover episodes of Perfect Couples and The Paul Reiser show? No one is watching the reruns of their other shows anyway.
How bad must this show be to seriously be put there? These networks need to better utilize Hulu. Once Love Bites was officially DOA, they should have put the whole season on Hulu and let people watch it there. One quick press release and presto. I might have checked it out if I could watch all the episodes in a sitting because I like Ryan Hansen.
“Love Bites” should read “Friends with Benefits.”
“Friends with Burn-Offits”. Ugh. Good call, Bob.
Um, isn’t there a movie coming out with Timberlake and Mila Kunis called FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS? You know, the one that’s the same as NO STRINGS ATTACHED. I’m still waiting for the next Craiglist section movie called CASUAL ENCOUNTERS, or STRICTLY PLATONIC, where it’s anything but.
I guess the show will be like a lead in to the movie … and both will suck.
I love Danneel Ackles and Ryan Hansen so will check it out cause I was majorly bummed when they pulled it but I doubt its anywhere near good if they scheduled shows like Perfect Couples over this!
2 of the actors on that poster have been recast …that NBC couldn’t have paid for a new group shot shows just how invested they are in making this a hit. NOT!
Just like “Love Bites” this show will see its doom handed to them sooner rather than later. Saturdays are being used as the night to get rid of shows and just air them for the sake of airing them.
stupid tv shows no class just crappy themes. Tv is all over!
I watched three episodes. It is staggeringly unfunny. The cast should actually be glad that most won’t see this. The writers should go create a series for USA.
There’s actually one in production right now called Missed Connections.
