NBC Announces Fall Lineup Microsites

NBC has announced their digital extensions for the TV shows on the NBC network. Earlier this year NBC pushed viewers of American Gladiators to the Web to watch the full events. Overall the options seem a bit disappointing and feel very agency-driven. Here are a few of the shows and their upcoming online components:

The Biggest Loser – In addition to the recently announced Biggest Loser League, fans will find extended versions of the elimination scenes, exclusive weekly bonus scenes, a new season of Alison McSweeny’s blog and recipes from Rocco deSpirito.

Chuck – NBC.com will premiere the Chuck webisodes this fall. Additionally, the site will feature an interactive social network experience for fans – Inside Buy More – which includes games, quizzes and career advice from Big Mike.

Deal or No Deal – The site features a weekly Beat the Banker interactive game as well as a new season of the snarky Banker Blog. (Allen: they would do better here to allow fans to interact with the models – blogs, live videos, etc.)

Knight Rider – Fans will be able to investigate the back stories of some of their favorite characters in the Knight Industries micro-site. Plus, a new behind-the-scenes production blog featuring the writing staff and Billy’s Blog will provide even more insight. Additionally, users will find an all-new KITT game and interactive Attack KITT and KITT cave.

The Office – It’s Dunder Mifflin Infinity 2.0! The social network will feature new branches, new tasks and new prizes. Additionally, the site will include a new Meredith blog, Angela and Andy’s wedding planning micro-site, a Serenity by Jan micro-site, ongoing updates to fan favorite the Quotes game and Office trivia, weekly deleted scenes and the second installment of webisodes slated for November.
