and/or a lack of confidence in the show

According to Deadline, NBC is pairing Johnson's Young Rock with George Lopez's Lopez vs. Lopez on Friday nights in hopes of leaning into the night's "TGIF" history (https://deadline.com/2022/05/nbc-2022-23-schedule-the-blacklist-la-brea-quantum-leap-the-voice-chicago-law-order-1235024254/) with family comedies. While Awful Announcing considers it a "bold" move (https://awfulannouncing.com/nbc/nbc-is-moving-young-rock-to-friday-night-opposite-wwe-smackdown.html), Indiewire's Tony Maglio says it seems like NBC is giving up Young Rock after two seasons. "NBC banished Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson’s Young Rock to Fridays, which is typically a death sentence for shows not named Blue Bloods," says Maglio. "The network will explain it away as good pairing with George Lopez’s new sitcom, Lopez vs. Lopez, but really it’s a reflection of the lack of confidence NBC has in Johnson’s third-season comedy (and the first-season one)."
