"The Office" (Replaced "Committed")
Somewhere in the vast graveyard of failed NBC sitcoms from the 2000s is "Committed," a kooky opposites-attract vehicle that never made it past a baker's dozen episodes after premiering in '05. And so, in March of that year, a U.S. revamp of ... more a hugely successful, Ricky Gervais-created U.K. comedy called "The Office" swooped in and helped the Peacock Network take back Thursday night. Seven years later, and the American "Office" is still anchoring the work week's penultimate evening for NBC. Don't feel too bad for "Committed" brain trust Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, however. They went on to exec produce a little hit for rival broadcaster ABC called "The Middle."
