[Advisory: Sorry for the no posting, your humble servant is having his annual autumn conference with a cold. Thank you for your comprehension, your patience and your fidelity.]NBC is putting Outlaw, its Friday night legal drama, on production hiatus after three weeks of lacklustre ratings. The Peacock is suspending production on future episodes but will run the remaining five episodes of this show.
Outlaw stars Jimmy Smits as a Supreme Court Justice who gives up his lifetime appointment to open a private practice after being frustrated with flaws in the legal system. Several new NBC series have performed lower than expected and rating experts pay a particular attention to J.J. Abrams's Undercovers and to NBC's high concept serialized drama The Event.
In may we wrote about The Event : « The pick-up of another "high concept show" after the announced demise of ABC's FlashForward is a mystery stronger than the pitch of this new drama. » Actually most of the networks's picks for this season are a mystery.
