More John Wells at NBC


January 08, 2009 TV and "ER" executive producer John Wells, the network also has ordered six episodes of Wells' new cop drama "Police." NBC and WBTV have been in intense negotiations during the past few weeks for a "Police" series pickup. The network had been asking for a 12-episode midseason order, while WBTV had been reluctant to commit to such a large order in light of NBC's recent decision to launch a Jay Leno-fronted talk show in the 10 p.m. hour in the fall, which would limit the network's needs for drama series.
