So, What’s the Vibe?

NBC isn’t reinventing the wheel; and honestly, they don’t need to. The return of franchise nights like “One Chicago” and “Law & Order Thursdays” is going to keep longtime fans happy, while fresh energy from Fallon and new dramas like “Brilliant Minds” and “St. Denis Medical” offer just enough new blood. And let’s be real: football and “SNL” basically own the weekend anyway. If it ain’t broke, schedule around it.
