Despite their low numbers, Greenblatt has said that he is committed to giving these underperforming freshmen more of a chance to grow and wants to send a message to the creative community that he will “give their shows every chance to succeed.”

This makes sense considering Greenblatt comes from cable where these ratings wouldn’t be so dire.

While for many the fate of these shows don’t really matter, this is good news for NBC’s other low rated, but adored programs (such as Parks and Rec and Community).
