NBC has decided to pull an episode of their primetime drama, Nurses.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, the network will not air the episode in question in the future or on streaming networks.

The plot facing backlash involved an Orthodox Jew who refuses a bone graft from a potentially “Arab” or “woman” donor.

“The writers of this scene check all the boxes of ignorance and pernicious negative stereotypes right down to the name of the patient, Israel — payouts [sidelocks] and all,” a statement reads from the Simon Wiesenthal Center. “In one scene, NBC has insulted and demonized religious Jews and Judaism.”

The scene, which aired earlier this month, sees the young Orthodox Jew named Israel in a hospital bed, and his father is standing next to him. His father is insisting that “the Creator” will heel his shattered leg after an accident, while the nurse on call says that medicine is his best bet.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center carried on in their statement, “Orthodox Jews are targeted for violent hate crimes in the city of New York. Jews are [the] number one target of hate crimes in the U.S. This is no slip of the tongue. It was a vile, cheap attack masquerading as TV drama. What’s NBC going to do about it?”

Another organization, the B’nai Brith Canada, has called on action from NBC.

“The disturbing stereotypes present in this episode of Nurses are deeply damaging to Jews, especially Orthodox practitioners,” Michael Mostyn, chief executive officer of the organization, shared in his own statement. “We call on the producers to act responsibly and take accountability for this outrage.

THR says that NBC has responded to the backlash by pulling the episode from air, and all future airings. However, while they are in conversation with various Jewish groups, it has no plans to issue a statement condemning the episode.

Nurses centers on five medical professionals who are just starting their new jobs on the front lines at St. Mary’s, a busy downtown hospital. The series airs Tuesdays on NBC.

There are new details about the Real Housewives of Miami reboot!

The beloved Miami offshoot of the Real Housewives franchise was greenlit, and currently in development for Peacock, the NBCUniversal streamer announced Wednesday (February 17) during the Television Critics Association Press Tour.

Andy Cohen is set to executive produce alongside Matt Anderson, Nate Green and Cooper Green at Purveyors of Pop.

The series originally ran from 2011 to 2013 across three seasons, and is only one of two spinoffs to ever be canceled, following Real Housewives of D.C.

Cast members have not yet been announced. The original RHOM cast followed Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Alexia Echevarria, Marysol Patton, Larsa Pippen and Cristy Rice, with later additions of Lisa Hochstein, Joanna Krupa, Ana Quincoces and Karent Sierra.

Andy Cohen first teased the idea last year on Everything Iconic With Danny Pellegrino.

“I have really been trying to get Peacock to pick up Miami. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this. I don’t know where we are with that,” he said at the time.

Andy Cohen recently opened up about searching for a life partner.

The upcoming sitcom, based upon the life of professional wrestler and actor, actually features three different actors playing Dwayne at three different points in his life: Adrian Groulx is 10-year-old Dwayne, Bradley Constant is his 15-year-old self, and Uli Latukefu plays the star at 18–20-years-old.

Here’s the official summary for the new sitcom: As Dwayne Johnson runs for president in 2032, he takes a comedic look back at his extraordinary life through the outrageous stories of his family and youth that shaped him into the man he is today. He explores his childhood years living amid influential wrestling icons while his dad rose to fame in the business, his rebellious teenage years attending high school in Pennsylvania, and his football years teamed up with powerhouse players at the University of Miami. In his telling, Dwayne explains that while his experiences have been larger than life, he remains a down-to-earth guy who still relates to the American people.

Katherine Creag is being honored.

NBC’s Today paid tribute on Friday morning (February 12) to the late WNBC New York affiliate reporter who died suddenly and unexpectedly Wednesday (February 10) at age 47.

Anchor Craig Melvin remembered her as “a great mom, a great friend and she was a doggone good reporter.”

Savannah Guthrie said, “All of us around here are truly heartbroken. Kat was part of our extended family here at NBC, and a beloved fixture on our local station WNBC.”

WNBC anchor Darlene Rodriguez, visiting the Today set, said: “Kat was a light. She had this very special spirit and energy about her. She came into your space, you were just immediately uplifted because no matter what, she was always in a good mood.”

Our thoughts are with Katherine Creag‘s loved ones at this difficult time.

Kate & Allie is coming back!

The classic ’80s sitcom is getting a reboot at NBC, Variety reported on Friday (January 29).

The updated series comes from writer and Fresh Off the Boat producer Erica Oyama.

Here’s a plot summary: “It follows two best friends raising their kids together in one household. They are like sister wives, only they don’t have to pretend to love the same man with bad hair. Through their unconventional arrangement, the two prove romance isn’t necessary to be a successful woman and mother.”

The original Kate and Allie series aired on CBS from 1984-1989 for six seasons and over 120 episodes, starring Susan Saint James and Jane Curtin in the title roles.

The Office is now streaming at a new home – and it’s doing big numbers!

The show is being streamed more on Peacock than it was on Netflix, according to NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell, via Deadline.

On Comcast’s fourth-quarter earnings call, he mentioned that the beloved sitcom, which NBCU brought back from Netflix in a $500 million licensing deal, is proof that the company’s commitment to streaming will be successful for the network.

“We’re seeing people who are watching The Office on Peacock are watching lots of our other comedies. It’s really driving Parks & Recreation and really driving Brooklyn Nine-Nine, amongst others. So, it’s kind of an ecosystem,” he said adding that it’s “like broadcast, where we can cross-promote people into different things. That certainly seems to be working.”

“Shell did not elaborate on his assessment with any specific data,” Deadline noted.

Comcast also said Peacock had 33 million sign-ups as of this week and brought in $100 million in revenue during the fourth quarter, which ended on December 31.

“Losses on Peacock are estimated to be $2 billion for the 2020 and 2021, CFO Mike Cavanagh said, matching projections before launch,” the outlet added.
