NBC Said Goodbye To Several Iconic Shows During Its 2013-2014 Primetime Schedule



30 Rock, which aired between 2006-2013, remains a groundbreaking show that fundamentally changed the American sitcom landscape. The show was intelligent in both its writing and direction, and its fearless approach to comedy earned it numerous awards and a dedicated fanbase. Another popular show that came to an end during NBC’s 2013-2014 primetime schedule was The Office, which aired for nine seasons and quickly rose to cult-classic status. The series was known for its mockumentary-style presentation, quirky characters, and its surprising ability to tackle crucial social issues while being incredibly funny. The fan-favorite Smash also ended its run on the network. Saying goodbye to these shows was a tough call for the network, but their decision allowed for new programming to take center stage and for audiences to explore new aspects of television storytelling.

While NBC debuted several hit shows during its 2013-2014 primetime schedule, it was also a year of goodbyes to some of the network’s most beloved television programs and a year that some of the shows fans loved returned. NBC’s commitment to ambitious programming during the 2013-2014 primetime schedule ultimately paid off. As other networks struggled to compete with the increasing number of streaming services, NBC remained a formidable force with shows that captured audiences’ imaginations and kept them coming back for more. With fans returning to see characters from shows like Chicago Fire and The Blacklist, evidence of NBC’s evergreen approach to producing content that stands the test of time.
