 Re: Upfronts 2013
I think I would've become mentally deficient watching more of The Following than there already was.
Does ABC announce tomorrow?

 Re: Upfronts 2013
Yeah, ABC is tomorrow. CBS is Wednesday and The CW is Thursday.
Fully expecting ABC to fuck over "Suburgatory" and give it a shitty timeslot since it's destined to follow the third-season-curse of the network's best comedies.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
I would be way more interested in ABC if they hadn't canceled Happy Endings  . I bet they will move Suburgatory though, which will probably kill that show as well.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
I'm 100% sure they will. They'll probably move it to Fridays or some bullshit like that.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
I guess Dancing results has been canceled? lol
Sundays pretty much intact. It will be much more disastrous. Wonderland gets the Death Slot.
They're still sticking with comedies on the Tuesday prime slot? I guess SHIELD should give them a boost; then again, I'm not too sure SHIELD is gonna be that big. It's a ballsy move though, I give them that.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
This is a rather safe schedule, except the aggressive push on Tuesdays by programming S.H.I.E.L.D. directly against NCIS.
I hope ABC actually schedules Once Upon a Time and Revenge properly this season. But I wouldn't bet on it.
Suburgatory looks like it will premiere midseason (probably replacing another canceled sitcom), which is what I expected all along.
Edit: Hearing a rumor that ABC will air the Sunday dramas in 2 batches of 12 episodes (11?), with limited series in between. Or something. The same thing will apparently happen with the Thursday dramas.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
Too bad Suburgatory will be a mid-season replacement. But at least it's returning.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
That's actually a smart decision IMO splitting the episode orders. Will help with the ridiculous scheduling the Sunday shows in particular faced this winter/spring. I KNEW they were going to give "Suburgatory" the "Cougar Town" treatment. Also ABC needs to stop trying to make comedies on Tuesday night happen. Still bitter at this network over "Happy Endings"'s cancellation

 Re: Upfronts 2013
Does anyone else find it funny that ABC's Sunday lineup sounds like some sort of weird fable?
Once upon a time...REVENGE! BETRAYAL!
Although I guess Betrayal and Revenge should be switched for that to make sense.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
So two hours of comedy on Thursday it is!
Interesting move for Person of Interest and other than that the schedule isn't that crazy.
I guess Mike & Molly returns mid-season?

 Re: Upfronts 2013
Apparently Mike and Molly has a 22-episode order so I'm assuming it's waiting until one of the new comedies tank (pretty sure at least one will have to tank by November lol).
Ho-hum schedule even for CBS. Though one new drama in the fall is surprising.
LMAO @ Hawaii 5-0.

So not only it will air repeat-free, some weeks would have double episodes. Because whenever I think about event and serial shows that require attentive, immersive, consecutive viewings, I think of "Mike & Molly." Dear lord. Melissa McCarthy probably had movie commitments then.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
In an odd turn of events, CBS has the most new shows I'm interested in of the major networks. I will definitely check out The Crazy Ones, Mom, The Millers and probably Hostages.
Interesting they finally went ahead and did the 2-hour comedy block on Thursdays. Also interesting they sandwiched the two new comedies between TBBT and 2 1/2 Men. Let's see how that works out.
I expected Person of Interest to move to 10 and Elementary to another night but I guess they did the opposite.
I guess I'm glad The Good Wife isn't switching timeslots but that means it's still in the same stupid Sunday spot which makes it never start at one consistent time. Oh well.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
Also, Thursdays are quickly becoming a night where I'm going to be really, really busy watching things:
Parks & Rec Michael J. Fox Parenthood Glee Grey's Scandal Big Bang Theory The Millers The Crazy Ones
Eep.

 Re: Upfronts 2013
Yup, I'm in a similar Thursday situation, Libs. I'll have: NFL Network's Thur. Night Game, 'Archer', 'Elementary', 'The Millers', 'The Crazy Ones', 'Michael J. Fox Show'.
