Video Clips: NBC’s New Shows

NEW YORK: Watch clips from several new dramas and comedies on NBC’s recently announced fall season, including The Blacklist, Ironside and Dracula.

The Blacklist: Monday 10-11 p.m.

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington has been one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The Concierge of Crime.” Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: He will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth “Liz” Keen, an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. What follows is a twisting series of events as the race to stop a terrorist begins.

Ironside: Wednesday 10-11 p.m.

In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one’s tougher than Det. Robert Ironside. He’s a fearless cop who won’t stop until the guilty are brought to justice. He and his trusted, handpicked team of specialists—Virgil, Holly and Teddy, as well as his former partner Gary and boss, Det. Ed Rollins, will do whatever it takes to solve New York’s most difficult and notorious crimes. As a detective, Ironside’s instincts are second to none, and those around him have to stay on their toes if they want to keep up because when his spine was shattered by a bullet two years ago, Ironside swore he’d never let a wheelchair slow him down.

Dracula: Friday 10-11 p.m.

It’s the late 19th century and the mysterious Dracula has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He’s especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night—useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: He hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan… until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.

Sean Saves the World: Thursday 9-9:30 p.m.
Sean is a divorced gay dad who juggles a lot—his successful but demanding career, offbeat employees, pushy mom Lorna and weekends with his teenage daughter, Ellie. So when she moves in full-time, it’s a whole new world. Never one to do anything halfway, Sean’s intent on being the best dad ever, so he loads up on parenting how-to books and plans Pinterest-worthy family dinners. But it seems his company’s new owner has decided Sean and his team should work longer hours, putting a damper on his homemaking plans and throwing a kink in Sean’s perfectly constructed work/life balance. Ellie sees this development as a plus. She loves her dad, but he’s clearly going overboard. From keeping his boss happy, employees motivated and enduring his mother’s tactless “advice” to raising a smart, grounded and healthy kid, it’s going to be a growing experience, to say the least. But if anyone can handle it all, it’s Sean.

The Michael J. Fox Show: Thursday 9:30-10 p.m.
Look who’s making the news again. One of New York’s most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. But 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. Having never wanted Mike to leave in the first place, his old boss Harris Green jumped at the chance to get him back on TV. The trick, as it’s always been, was to make Mike think it was his idea. Now the plan is in motion and Mike will be back to juggling home, family, and career—just like the old days, but only better.
