NEW YORK With an emphasis on stability and a focus on a 52-week schedule, NBC will tackle life after Friends and Frasier with just five initial new series: dramas LAX, Hawaii and Medical Investigation, and sitcoms Father of the Pride and highly anticipated Friends’ spinoff Joey, which some observers are already referring to as the next AfterMASH.
