ABC Fall 2012 Schedule

Yeah Happy Endings is becoming ABC's new Cougar Town LOL. But to ABC's credit when they air it after a new episode of Modern Family, it often bled a lot of the Modern Family lead in, just like Cougar Town before it. Happy Endings really isn't compatible at all with Modern Family or anything else on the Wednesday block (and neither was Cougar Town). Next season I would maybe pair up Happy Endings and B in Apt 23 and air them as part of a Comedy Block on a different night

Happy Endings works so hard to be "cute" and have all their self-aware quips that it's difficult to like or care about most of the people involved. I never had a lot of interest in the show, but my mother enjoyed it, until she got tired of how forced it was.

Sad about GCB but happy about Body of Proof..love the show. Glad Devious Maids wasnt picked up for so many reasons...I doubt ABC wants another Marc Cherry lawsuit on their hands...lol...and I just didnt see DM doing well. I am so sick of The Bachelor ...it is worn out its welcome long long time ago...the ratings suck....of course they dont have to pay that much for the crapfest that it is.....and Dont trust the B...how could they renew that show..the ratings were dreadful....they pulled in the same numbers as GCB.

Pretty much this. Hopefully they can the show back on track.

Plus being ABC's only multi-cam (lets pretend Work-It never happened shall we?) while leading off the night was bound to make things difficult for it and factored into the renewal. I imagine they'll pair it up with Reba's multi-cam Malibu Country and/or How To Live with Your Parents multi-cam/hybrid, which should help out all shows.

"Malibu Country" really does look like a rehash of the old Reba show, but I'm cool with that. I can't wait to see her back on TV, and this is the first network sitcom that I've actively looked forward to in yeeeeeeeears.

"Nashville" and "666 Park Ave" are the only dramas that interest me, especially "Nashville." Connie Britton in a primetime soap about the country music industry? Oh yes.

Kind of surprised they passed on the Mandy Moore sitcom because as i remember it, they went after it pretty hard because she had almost went to another network.

nashville looks interesting but i do not see it lasting.

sad about GCB, but not surprised. It was a fun show, but nothing great and had a lot of issues.

So happy Scandal and Happy Endings are back, my favorites ABC has to offer.

I would be more happy about Cougar Town going to TBS but this season has been awful.

I dont think they should touch Revenge. Leave on Wed at 10pm at least for another season to establish it further.

Revenge moves to Sunday at 9. Nashville airing at 10pm Wednesday. Last Man Standing moves to Fri at 8. Apt 23 and Happy Endings get cushy slot after DWTS on Tues.

Some interesting moves. I hope it pays off for them.

    • I wrote my previous post about Dante being on a 3-day rant while I was at the 30-minute mark of the show. By the end, Dante was back to being reasonable and kind and understanding of everyone and everything. OK, I get it. We all knew that sooner or later we'd get the wise Dante. The mistake was showing him berate Jason IN THE SAME EPISODE and imply he's a lousy father.
    • I think Dante has a larger GH fanbase than both Ava and Nina character wise.  Both CW and MW have a built in fanbase outside GH which isn't really indictive of the characters, IMO.
    • Just this fan's opinion but I have said these writers are the most plot opportunistic maybe ever! They will have any character say just about anything if it advances whatever plot point they have in their minds atm. I think if Dante's POV right now was defensible people would be running it up the flag pole. The fanbase thing you're describing to me it just means they're going to continue to like their fave no matter what. 
    • I think the difference between the head writer change at Days vs GH is that the day to day episode quality at GH was still lacking while the day to day episode quality has improved. And now that there appears to be some depth to the episode content... the limitations of some of the performers on Days is more apparent (i.e. Leo, Alex, Sophia, Cat). However, Rome wasn't built/rebuilt in a day so I'm waiting to see how things are in three to four months once some of the threads/stories from Ron's era are tied up/resolved.. and Ford/Cwikly's long term content kicks off
    • That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode. 
    • Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol.   Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene.    Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger.   I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!!      Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!  
    • Looking forward to hearing your perspective. Tuesday was a little... ehhh though

      And Ron sort of did like a half-assed rewrite to bring them together. Apparently, Stephanie had never met Alex until 2022, even though she already knew Sonny, Joe and Vic 
    • Friday Thoughts:    June and Hayley are going to turn out to be related, or else why the casting on June's character if not for that.  Their voices and mannerisms are similar and Marquita had mentioned in an interview that we would be finding out more about Hayley's backstory.   Tomas/Eva/Kat is for sure going to be moving full steam ahead.. and I can't wait

      Dani/Bill = yawn    Bill/Smitty = Interest reeved up and we all know that means the secret involving Martin/Smitty/Anita is kicking into high gear for May sweeps. Vanessa/Nicole = A satisfying friendship scene.. and Nicole's statement about Vanessa's outside interests.. I did not see that coming Nicole/Andre = I noticed that Andre volunteered knowing about the affair, but managed to withhold the nugget of information where he had convinced Ted not to confess to Nicole. Dani/Ted = This perked my interest Nicole/Silk Press Sheila = A great way to end a Friday episode.  Sometimes grandma's soaps shouldn't be discarded, but followed. Martin/Smitty = Kat is right that Smitty is too good for Martin.. and Martin did act as though he missed his afternoon nap. Ashley/Derek = Unpopular opinion.. I actually kind of missed them.   I view their scenes as a great way to kickstart a drinking game... take a shot anytime you wonder to yourself what is the point to their characters and/or either one of them says something cringey.  You'll be guaranteed to be buzzing by the end of the episode Previews for next week: Looks like Nicole has found out about Dani/Andre's FWB set up? Kat vs Silk Press Sheila looks promising.      
    • GH isn't that character-driven a show in recent decades. I think reaction depends on whether the character has a passionate fanbase. A character like Ava always has people who will defend her and back her up, as does a character like Nina (when they used to write for Nina, anyway). Dante doesn't.
    • Go 'head, Martin!! GATHER.   Oh my goodness!!! Now we are getting Bill/Smitty. The combos today.
