"ROMEO FIRE" ABSENT FROM NBC FALL LINEUP

5/14/02

On Monday May 13th NBC announced their official fall 2002 lineup. Unfortunately the network failed to include the pilot "Romeo Fire" in their fall schedule which only had a few spots open for new programming. Despite earlier reports of ordering 13 episodes of the comedy starring Jerry O'Connell and Jessica Capshaw, there was no mention on Monday of keeping the series in development as a possible mid-season replacement. To read about the schedule announcement visit Yahoo! News and TheFutonCritic.com (Thanks to DMD at the Sci-Fi Sliders BBoard for the heads up). The NBC fall schedule is available at TheFutonCritic.com.

This report from emonline.com suggested that the series was in development for a 'backup order.' However this article was written a few days before NBC announced it's official fall lineup.

Friday May 10th 2002

NBC light on pickups: With very few holes in its top-rated schedule, NBC is said by talent agency sources to be ordering as few as a half-dozen shows for its fall 2002 prime-time lineup. Among the comedies getting pickups are "Hidden Hills," "In-Laws" and "Good Morning, Miami." Dramas said to be ordered for fall are "American Dreams" and "Boomtown." For midseason, NBC is said to have 13-episode commitments to "Mister Sterling" and "Kingpin." Also said to be in contention for backup orders are the "Arthur" period drama and sitcoms "It's Not About Me" and "Romeo Fire."
