NBC Cancels Welcome to the Family and Ironside, Announces Premieres of Chicago PD and Community

NBC has become the first network to announce plans for midseason, as the network has officially pulled struggling interracial comedy Welcome to the Family and cop drama Ironside from the schedule, effectively canceling them. Replacing the former will be Community, which will air back-to-back new episodes on January 2nd at 8:00, and Parks and Recreation, moving to its new time slot beginning January 9th. From now until then, the night will include back-to-back original episodes of Parks, holiday specials, The Sound of Music Live, and The Sing-Off. The latter will ultimately be replaced by Chicago PD, which is set to premiere Wednesday, January 8th, but before that, Wednesdays on NBC will see new Dateline specials and several holiday specials, including music specials starring Kelly Clarkson and Michael Buble. A planted spinoff of Chicago Fire, Chicago PD stars Jason Beghe, Jon Seda, and Sophia Bush. Below is a full list of what to expect between now and NBC s midseason debuts: Wednes
