ABC to Air Encores of 'Modern Family,' and Premieres of 'Better with You,' & 'The Whole Truth' On First Friday of New Season

So far as I know, ABC still hasn't announced premiere dates for Secret Millionaire and Body Of Proof which will air from 8pm-10pm on Fridays.  I'd already written that was likely because ABC planned to use those hours for encores of new Mon-Thursday shows, and that seems to be the case.

The first Friday of the season (September 24) ABC will air an encore (episode to be announced) of Modern Family at 8pm, an encore of the series premiere of Better With You at 8:30, and an encore of the series premiere of The Whole Truth from 9pm-10pm.

I'd expect something similar (though perhaps with different shows) the following week, and perhaps even a week after that before Secret Millionaire and Body Of Proof make their debuts.

    The 26th is a Sunday, not a Friday.

    when was the last time ABC had a week where the DIDN’T air a repeat of Modern Family. Just like they did with Millionaire, they are trying to beat this show to death

    Its a repeat. Its not like theyre airing new episodes a few times a week.

    Secret Millionaire could be a huge hit for the network-I have seen the UK version. But it should be earlier in the week-people go out Friday night. It seems no program has ever generated big ratings on Friday. Hope the brains at ABC find a better time slot for this great show!!

    It was worse when ABC aired Modern Family twice on Wednesdays–at 8pm (a rerun) and 9pm. They risked overexposing the show but it actually made more people watch the 9pm original against Idol. Scheduling-wise, comparing MF and Millionaire is like comparing apples and oranges (I know it’s cliche but I have nothing else to say).

    While I appreciate ABC pulling all the stops to give Better With You and The Whole Truth (both shows I intend to watch) a boost, they’re diminishing Body of Proof’s chances by pushing it further back – not that it had much of a chance to begin with.

    Secret Millionaire seems like a total bust. Watch this get pulled after the 6 ordered episodes.
