In its 2015-16 slate, unveiled Sunday ahead of Monday’s upfronts, NBC is devoting only a single hour to sitcoms this fall: 8-9 p.m. Fridays, as the network continues to struggle with its comedy brand.Instead, the network—which should win its second consecutive season in adults 18-49 (though without the Super Bowl, the win would likely go to CBS)—is focusing on dramas, the return of Sunday Night Football, and two all-live series to entice viewers.
