Director's Cut Alert: NBC Announces New Weeknight Lineup

The Director's Cut has learned of the new NBC lineup that will follow the Olympics beginning Monday, March 1st.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- New and veteran NBC dramas and a comedy produced by Jerry Seinfeld will take over the bulk of the prime-time slots soon to be vacated by Jay Leno.

NBC announced Thursday that the freshman drama "Parenthood" and the relocated "Law & Order" and "Law & Order: Special Victim Units" will fill three slots. Another will go to the comedy panel series "The Marriage Ref" from Seinfeld.
