ABC just announced the premiere dates for all of its fall series with the exception of freshmen Body of Proof and Secret Millionaire, whose dates will be released later.

What an awful line up. Aside from Modern Family they have nothing good on their Network
I disagree. Castle was great last year, should be great again. The trailers for both Detroit 1-8-7 and The Whole Truth look good too.
I think it is sick that they cancelled “The Event”. It was just starting to get great! I wonder who had the rocks or black holes in their heads to cut this show! BBBBAD MOVE!
Ditto. Now that LOST is gone, so am I.
You see, ABC, when you have a pop-culture phenomenon like LOST, you don’t look for ways to end it (and then spin your wheels trying to find “the next Lost”)….you build on it and milk that baby for all it’s worth.
Dude, I hear you. If Dick Wolf or Bruckheimer were involved, we would have seen Lost Special Victims and Lost Miami.
No Ordinary Family and My Generation are both great new shows.
Awful schedule? Hmm The buzz on no ordinary family is great , a scripted Incredibles. Brothers and sisters and desperate housewives as well as greys anatomy consitently perform. I hardly think this is a awful sched playing it safe yes, They have consitent hits on their hands
I think you mean a live action “Incredibles.” Alternately a different take on “The Fantasic Four” but the concept is valid.
Does anyone care? Who watches broadcast television any more?
Castle is a great show… Can’t wait until season 3…
Show was unwatchable which is strange because the script was great.
I couldn’t agree more…I’ve read a few castle scripts and the one thing that struck me is the casting. Every role should be re-cast. Now of course I know it is way too late. But the flow and and the feel of the script is very different than the end product. MAYBE Nathan is right MAYBE but every one else is just WRONG!
Castle isn’t half bad…
I just want to know when V will be coming back.
I’m looking forward to Castle. It has become one of my favorite shows.
Any network that consciously allows 0 for 8 in Emmy nominated Jimmy Kimmel Live to exist on its airwaves, is by definition doggg shitttt.
ABC is going down the tubes. The only great show they have is Modern Family. Are we supposed to pretend their other shows are worth watching? Is that like holding the hand of a dying patient, assuring them they really did make a difference?
Whar happened to Shark Tank? That and Modern Family are the only shows I’d look forward to. I need my Shark Tank fix! I thought it was renewed!
Sorry, that was me, Lilybop.
I would love to see an improved reboot of SHARK TANK. Though I guess callous SHARK is much closer to the (japanese?) original, British version DRAGONS DEN is far superior. In these times they would be well advised to push the mentor-angle like DRAGONS does and be a bit more supportive of inventors and struggling small business owners. The way SHARK works, it makes you hate the power-tripping investors and their often awful offers. DRAGONS OTOH has many success stories to tell by now and that’s where it’s at for the viewers — a positive and uplifting experience plus of course learning a bit more about business. Wouldn’t hurt to get a couple of new businesses off the ground, either. Fingers crossed.
“Castle” is one of the BEST shows on your schedule!!
