TV Watch: Uh oh, Jimmy Smits' Philly-shot show banished to Friday wasteland

We'll miss you Parks and Rec's Leslie Knope!	We can't wait to not watch your show Jimmy!

NBC is first in the batting order to reveal their primetime line-up for next fall (they're called upfronts for those who don't obsessively follow these things). Other than the devastating news that best-comedy-on-TV Parks and Recreation is getting bumped to midseason, Philly-set Jimmy Smits' hour-long drama Outlaw (formerly Rough Justice and Garza) is getting plopped in the 10 p.m.-Friday night dead zone. We relayed info to you that the Philly-shot show wasn't getting the best reception from the NBC suits (save for Smits' performance as a Supreme Court justice who leaves the bench for private practice) but Friday at 10? Damn, expect never to watch this show (because who watches TV on Friday night at 10?) and come back here when we'll probably tell you it was canceled. Sorry, Jimmy.

From what I've seen so far, this is going to be a great show.  I can't wait.  This is one I will definitely fit into my schedule.  Forget the 10:00 slot.  This deserves primetime 9.  I will watch it no matter what.
