After yet another uneventful season, NBC heads into the 2012-13 season with three new shows and four returning dramas. Smash, the series NBC had heavily promoted and hoped would be the next huge hit, was hit with lukewarm ratings, but nonetheless, it was considered a viable contender on Monday nights. The real success story was NBC's Friday night sci-fi drama Grimm.

Coming up this fall on NBC are three exciting and promising new dramas that if scores well with viewers, would really balance out the network by covering a wide array of genres.

Canceled NBC Dramas:Awake, Harry's Law, and The Firm Previously canceled dramas include: Chuck, The Playboy Club, Prime Suspect.
