NBC Thinks New Comedies Will Save Them

While Jay Leno continues to destroy ratings, people over at the peacock network are working to bring more half-hour comedies to the network featuring Jimmy Kimmel's BFF Adam Carolla, The Simpson's alum Bill Oakley and Don Cheadle.

That's the best they could do???

Carolla will be playing a contractor and father whose life gets turned upside down when his wife leaves him. Leno's rival over on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel will be exec producing along with Carolla.

Sounds like it might have potential, especially with Kimmel on board.

Don Cheadle will be pairing up with Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder to produce a comedy about two mismatched brothers who reunite to open a private security company.

Isn't that basically Two and a Half Men minus the sex?

Bill Oakley's sitcom will center on the youngest judge in a circuit courthouse.

Not too sure about that one.

Hopefully this doesn't screw over NBC more than they already have!
