Watch the Trailers for NBC’s 6 New Fall Shows
On Monday, NBC teased its 2013-2014 TV schedule, an anticipated mix of returning shows and new series, during a star-studded upfront presentation to advertisers and media at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. Among the shows in NBC’s programming plans are the following six new comedies and dramas, for which NBC released trailers after the event. All the shows listed below will premiere this fall, with the exception of mid-season debuts (also included, below).
1The Michael J. Fox Show
“Look who’s making the news again. One of New York’s most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox), put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. But now five years later, with the kids busy growing up and Mike growing restless, it just might be time for him to get back to work.

Meet the Kickstarter for XXX Projects: Offbeatr
A Kickstarter for the XXX world? Meet Offbeatr, the crowdfunding platform for all things adult.
It’s sort of like a Kickstarter for porn — a place to brainstorm and then create all your kinky ideas. And, if they’re popular enough, get them bankrolled. Last week the site announced they’ve funded over $280,000 for pornographic projects since their launch about nine months ago. But it’s not all NSFW fare. Instead of just the raunchy stuff you might expect, funding has also been for art, games and comic books. Unlike Kickstarter or Indiegogo, projects are only funded if they’re approved by Offbeatr users. In total, 100 adult projects have been created with 4,000 receiving funding pledges. The site has 10,000 registered users who have generated 2.5 million page views. Read more…
