I guess Body of Proof isnt premiering until October.
Why did ABC change the name of Better Together to Better With You?
fun
So it really will be “Cougar Town”, huh? What a shame.
Not exactly a great schedule. I mean, NBC's schedule is definitely better
No Ordinary Family should absolutely be at 9pm after the DWTS results show. ABC has quickly went from my favorite network to by least favorite network with its lame new shows (expect No Ordinary Family looks fun) and stupid, moronic sheduling.
I mean, not changing anything on Sundays?? That line-up is going to CRUMBLE next season! It can't hold itself together any longer, it barely could this past season. ABC going down the dumpster and there's no one who can help them, especially 'cause they're not willing to help themselves, they just keeping shooting themselves in the foot.
And this stupidity with No Ordinary Family being at 8 without any lead-in support against NCIS, while it could very easily get the DWTS lead-in if they swapped timeslots. Detroit 187 sounds like a crappy, boilerplate procedural with nothing new to offer, so it certainly doesn't deserve the DWTS lead-in. People only watch the same show over-and-over-again on CBS. Geez, ABC.
They might as well go on and list Castle as starting at 10:02.
Kinda makes sense to do two 2-hour eps of DWTS, so they can premiere the Wednesday comedies all at once, and give the premiere of Detroit 1-8-7 a little boost. But yes, that Sunday lineup really needs a shake-up. The way I see it, football will tower over everything. The Amazing Race and maybe The Simpsons/Cleveland Show will beat EMHE. Family Guy and maybe UB will beat DH.
I'll end it on a positive note by saying I'm looking forward to NOF and My Generation the most. Detroit 1-8-7, I'll record because of Parenthood, since it kinda reminds me of Southland a little.
Since Brothers and Sisters is only 18 episodes this season. I wonder if ABC is going to try to pad it out until May, which is pretty much impossible or end the season early and put something else after Housewives? Yeah I agree that No Ordinary Family is going to get hammered against NCIS and Glee.
BORING!
ABC the 4th place network.
only 1 hr premiere of grey's this time
I see ABC keeps up their annual tradition of delaying their new Friday shows until a few weeks into the season… so viewers can get acclimated to watching the other networks' new Friday programming instead. Remind me again why they're actually keeping their scheduling department on the payroll?
Have now seen 4 of the Mickey Mouse House's new fall shows. 3 trainwrecks and 1 misfire. Don't worry, Shonda, you'll be “on the map” a lot sooner than March…
“Grey's” had a 2hr season finale, and I still think that the second hour should have been saved until the season premiere. It would have made more sense, everybody would have been hyped up for the premiere and might have had bigger numbers than the finale did.
That's an interesting Wednesday line up. I think No Ordinary Family is where it's at in expectations that V be after it once DwtS is over. I wouldn't want V as a lead in to No Ordinary Family, better the other way and if NOF does well, it may help V.
Let me guess.
1 misfire: My Generation
3 trainwrecks: No Ordinary Family, Detroit 187, Better with You
It's going to be interesting to see how NBC messes up this great chance to leave ABC in the dust.
B&S premieres on my 21st birthday! Maybe I'll have a glass of wine to celebrate in true Walker style.
I mean, sure, the show's a sinking ship, but the premiere has gotta be at least a little reminiscent of happier times.
So I guess this means Body of Proof premieres October 1 then. And no two-hour premiere for any show, boo!
'It's going to be interesting to see how NBC messes up this great chance to leave ABC in the dust.”
While we'll have plenty of time to comment on this in early September, I'm certain ABC will be stuck in fourth during the entire fall.
Last fall, with 5 hours of Leno, NBC trailed ABC by only a tenth of a ratings point in adults 18-49 at the end of December 2.7 vs. 2.8.
Unless Sunday Night Football has an historically bad run of games, NBC is almost certain to show at least *relative* ratings improvement vs. the competition. And relative improvement vs. ABC puts them ahead.
Gotta agree I find nothing exciting about this network. I watch a lot of shows and the only thing I watch on ABC is Castle. I used to watch Grey's, Private Practice, and Brothers & Sisters but gave up on them all from boredom. I'm not tempted to watch any of their new shows this year.
Misfire – Mr. Sunshine (I wanted to like it, but it has no chemistry)
Trainwrecks – Detroit 187 (though they're now changing the whole thing, so who knows what going to hit the air), No Ordinary Family (yikes), Body of Proof
Have a copy of “Happy Endings” – have not watched yet. Have not been able to get my hands on their new Wednesday comedy, “Whatever We're Calling It This Week,” but it's a multi-cam/Warner Bros. sitcom on ABC, so what's the point of even bothering.
Well ive seen all of them except Off The Map and i don't know what your referring to.No Ordinary Family, in particular was a blast!
Better with You?
