4. FOX needs to seriously just leave Hell’s Kitchen as a summer show. They are airing a cycle here and a cycle there. At least they were good and let the adult Masterchef as a summer show. Hotel Hell seems to come around in the summer once every other summer.

   With sources saying NBC will be doing a lot of mid season shows (they said this about Grimm and a 13 episode order with more to be ordered if they wish), I sorta expect Grimm to be held back until Spring 2017. This would let them put Mysteries of Laura on Friday

   • I completely agree with you on Hell’s Kitchen. And I am confident The Mysteries of Laura will be renewed.

     • NBC sees mild failure as a great success so I don’t doubt it.
