NBC Adds 3 More Shows, Including an Updated ‘Ironside’

The busy rounds of television shows coming and going continued on Friday as NBC added new series to a growing list for fall, while others found themselves facing a last roundup.

NBC announced three more new shows to add to the five released on Thursday. These include a new comedy from Bill Lawrence (“Scrubs”), who will be especially busy in the fall because Fox has already ordered a comedy from him. His NBC show is called “Undateable.” It stars Chris D’Elia (the best thing in “Whitney”) as a hip guy who suddenly has to teach the unsophisticated friends of his roommate the ways of women.

NBC is also bringing back a blast from its distant past with the return of “Ironside,” the old Raymond Burr series, with Blair Underwood now the tough cop running a special unit and proving he really has no handicap.

The third new NBC show is a spinoff of the somewhat successful new drama “Chicago Fire.” This one, “Chicago P.D.,” takes the creator Dick Wolf back to his crime-oriented turf with stories about the many units of the city’s department, like street cops or the intelligence unit.

On the other hand, one of NBCUniversal’s cable units, USA Network, announced on Friday that its hit drama “Burn Notice” would end after its latest season, which begins on June 6.

However, the NBC comedy “Community,” long thought to be headed for cancellation, is now in negotiations to continue, after posting a much improved rating on Thursday night.
