How Are Ben Silverman’s Shows Doing, Anyway?

What a long, strange trip it's been for NBC wunderkind (and Vulture hero) Ben Silverman. In the two years since he was named the Peacock's co-chairman, he's provided us with more hours of entertainment than we ever thought possible for a single network programmer — but what of his TV shows? On the occasion of tonight's premiere of Office non-spinoff Parks & Recreation — possibly the first NBC program created under Silverman's leadership that we've ever been unironically excited for — we decided to look back on all the shows he's ostensibly been responsible for as co-chairman. How'd they do?
