NBC Grounds Ironside, Welcome to the Family

Low ratings doom two freshman series

Ironside is off the case.

Effective Oct. 30, Ironside will roll to a halt, freeing up the Wednesday 10 p.m. time slot first for a repeat of Law & Order: SVU followed by three new episodes of Dateline over the next three Wednesdays. In the four subsequent weeks, NBC will air a pair of Saturday Night Live specials and two Christmas specials.

On Jan. 8, 2014, the Chicago Fire spinoff Chicago PD arrives in the post-SVU slot.

NBC has also axed the freshman comedy Welcome to the Family after just three episodes.
