This week we conclude my look at the genre series that premiered on network television this fall.

Last, and probably least, is NBC.

NBC

NBC brought us four genre-related series this fall, two returning and two new. The first of which is ?Chuck.?

One of the few successes of the current season, "Chuck" received a full season commitment from NBC. It?s held its audience in a difficult timeslot, and NBC appears to have faith in the show.

NBC also appears to have faith in ?Heroes? but I don?t see why. Its ratings have eroded with each airing, and the storytelling hasn?t lived up to the ?wow? of the season premiere.

Even with a ratings decline, the show is one of NBC?s best performers. A fourth season is highly likely.

?My Own Worst Enemy? was a modern take on the Jekyll/Hyde story starring Christian Slater. It was scheduled in the Monday night death slot, where it never pulled decent ratings.

I enjoyed the show, and wished it had survived. The series didn?t receive a full season and only 13 episodes were filmed. The show left the air with an episode unaired.

I hope they make it to air. Otherwise I will probably be seeing them air on SciFi Channel in a year or so.

The last genre related show airing on NBC is ?Knight Rider.? After a highly rated pilot movie that aired in Spring 2008, NBC commissioned a series, which failed to live up to the promise of the pilot, retooling it into something unrecognizable.

Realizing their mistake, NBC ordered another retool, and cut several current cast members. They then cut the episode count to 18 from 22, for budget reasons.

I enjoy the show for what it is, but don?t expect to see another season.

The 2008-09 season continues, where we will see the return of aging series "Medium" to NBC, and the premiere of the new Joss Whedon series ?Dollhouse? on Fox.

I have my fingers crossed for their success.
