While it’s a bad news day for fans of NBC’S PASSIONS, it’s a great news day for fans of the rest of NBC’S lineup. NBC has ordered early full-season pickups for the 2007-08 season for four hit series — the comedies THE OFFICE and MY NAME IS EARL and dramas HEROES and LAW AND ORDER: SVU it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment.
“These four series represent some of the best of what we consider to be the ‘NBC brand’ of quality shows,” said Reilly. “It is a pleasure to give them an early renewal to develop more stories for next year since we know they will remain both critical and commercial successes for a long time to come.”
