Following the enormous ratings from History Channel's Hatfields & McCoys movie (which was seen by a dizzying 14 million viewers last May), NBC has greenlit the pilot for TV series take on the feuding families.

It did well because it was a short series. I just do not see a series really doing well.

Yup, NBC is reaching on this one... a day late & a dollar short.

Oh, I can see NBC doing their" Hatfield and McCoys" series in the same comedy vein as 30 rock.

I can see them doing it also and I see it failing miserably as many of NBC shows does

Yep, I too see NBC taking a good story and turning it into a very sad "modern-day" nightmare. Heck, I betcha they're dreaming up 'Biggest Loser: Hatfields vs McCoys' as I type. :
