Broadcast and reception
"The Boat" was originally scheduled to air on NBC on November 1, 2012 but was replaced with a rerun of The Voice. NBC claimed it was for those affected by Hurricane Sandy, however the schedule change happened nationwide. (So you air it nationwide, but not in New York?) [3] It aired a week later, on November 8, 2012.[1]
