ABC is sticking to a relatively traditional fall rollout, premiering the bulk of its lineup during the official premiere week of September 24. The biggest exception is high-profile new drama Nashville, which will launch October 10. (ABC had success last fall with a late premiere for Once Upon A Time, which debuted even later, on Oct. 23.)

Wow the only things i want too see from all this show is once upon a time the middle castle and modern family i could really careless about the other crap shows on abc
I can’t understand why The Middle did not win any awards this year.I think it was the funniest new show last year
I can’t tell if they stepped up the advertising last year for the Middle or you had something else to watch, but that show has been on as long as Modern Family.
Only show on that schedule worth watching: The Middle.
You guys should really check out Happy Endings. It found an awesome stride in S2.
Only shows I’m really interested in are One and Modern Family. Everything else either looks boring or conflicts with my class schedule due to night classes.
I’m surprised that The Neighbors will premiere in the 10-11PM slot, isn’t that too late for a family comedy? It just looks like an odd time on paper, not sure how they plan to hook their audience when it moves into the 8:30 slot the following week… it better be good, cause the promos has not been that enticing.
This schedule looks odd. A one-hour premiere for The Neighbors at 10 p.m.? And Suburgatory not showing up on the schedule until Oct. 17 — three weeks after the other Wednesday night comedies launch. What’s ABC going to show after Modern Family until Suburgatory launches?
it’s premiering at 9:30, it will be cancelled shortly thereafter.
It’s all about ‘Scandal’, OUAT, and Revenge for me. I agree with David about Happy Endings, season 2 rocked! Suburgatory – Check! Jeremy is sooo dreamy! the Middle is a solid show. Dig Shark Tank, too.
That was it’s second season, case-in-point.
Where’s Happy Endings???
Premieres on October 23.
Whew! Got hooked on it this last season. Caught me off-guard, but now I think it’s one of the funniest shows on TV.
I really wish that Dancing with the stars would have started earlier so that there wasn’t an elimination right away as they do in the spring. Cannot wait for this show.
