Overall thoughts... pretty good schedule. ABC is in a pretty good spot. I imagine the Wednesday fluff drama will fail. It will become the new Tuesday/10pm slot home of failures. But who knows? Maybe one will finally hit. The Rookie could go either way I guess but you know, Nathan Fillion and all. I think he's their best chance at ending the dead Tuesday/10pm slot. But now Wednesday/10pm will likely suffer so they're gonna be in the same spot. I see now that Disney-synergy Once Upon a Time is gone they suddenly want comedies on Friday again?

but FOTB and Speechless are solid choices. I hope they can succeed there. I like ABC's diverse family comedies. Single Parents behind Modern Family was a no-brainer. I'm sure ABC hopes it's their next Modern Family-hit but MF isn't exactly doing gangbusters anymore so I'm curious how Single Parents will debut. It's got some buzz around it so we'll see.

 

A safe but smart schedule. I'm good with it.

Why? The original is tanking badly right now and has its lowest numbers ever. I don't know if the shortened season is the reason why but adding another DWTS on the lineup is ridiculous.

I am surprised HTGAWM is still on the air. The ratings are bad for the show and have been for some time.

 

The only show I'll be watching is Roseanne and The Alec Baldwin Show and maybe some Modern Family sprinkled in.

lol I know.

 

DWTS's demos are tanking. The overall 7/8 million is low but fairly on par with an aging show. But the show got a 1.0 in the demo last night! I mean ... damn. That's bad.

 

I don't get it either.

 

I'm surprised with you on HTGAWM. But Viola Davis and all that. And Shonda. So they cling to it. But it gets awful ratings. lol. Station 19 is the new Private Practice.

 

I used to love Modern Family but I haven't watched the last few seasons.

 

I'll definitely be watching Roseanne. I like their sitcoms but I can't say I watch them all the time. It's a lot of sitcoms, lol.

Three nights of comedy is super ambitious in this day and age. I know they’ve done it in the recent past with middling success.

Roseanne on in the fall means we will be getting a Halloween show

  The first season of the original didn't have a Halloween episode so I was not surprised that the debut season of the revival didn't either.  Can you imagine Dan's reaction at what Mark will be for Halloween (remember his reaction to DJ being a witch for Halloween in the original show?)

 

I have heard that False Profit is being considered for mid-season.  Vanessa Williams vs Bellamy Young... that alone is the reason to pick the pilot up... Willamina Slater vs Melly.  It's a slam dunk ABC.

 

Their comedies, other then Roseanne, are ho hum.  I don't really like the single cam format.

Well, Roseanne is history. I wonder what ABC will try to make into a hit.
