    Im so glad to see the one show they brought back was Womens Murder Club. I cant wait ti see what new story lines come up!

  • zepmania666

    Yay my favs are all back desperate housewives, greys anatomy and brothers and sisters and i watched the pilot for pushing daisies and it looks awesome!

  • zedtaker

    Are you kidding me? Abc is the BEST network with 2 of the greatest shows on earth, Desperate Housewives and Lost. I also like Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy and look forward to Brothers & sisters, private practice and Cavemen.

  • ashley1229

    I cant wait till Thursday the 27th. I am so glad Ugly betty and greys are on the same night again! As for private practice i will not even watch an eppi. i think that show wil be so bad. she should of stayed on greys

  • danharr

    Hmm maybe Womens Murder Club will give a nostalgic Murder She Wrote kinda feel.

  • ibluemyself

    Oh, you people are kidding me aren't you?Everyone one of you better watch Pushing Dasies, which is without doubt one of the best shows ever previewed. If you don't think that the cast and crew of Pushing Dasies at least, for the love of all humanity, watch it for the cute dog and the pretty people.

  • Fanuch

    I am excited for Grey's!!

  • RTTV989

    ABC sucks the only show on there I watch is DH and the rest are garbage I will be looking forward to lost

  • Will_of_the_D

    So, Sunday Nights stay the same for me, I watch EMHE and DH! I stick with just Grey's on Thursday. Wednesday, I can watch from 8-10 and for once go to bed early. I'll watch BL wheneve. And Lost and October Road when they return. Yeah, TV sucks anymore.

  • chap55

    hmm ill wait until lost in febraury

  • peggy777

    The only shows I have ever seen make it on Fridays and not get cancelled are the ones on the Sci-fi channel. I do believe 20/20 would have a better chance in a later time slot, but I wonder if the other two even have a chance at making it period. I'm just going to wait for Lost and October Road.

  • Insomniac247

    Can't wait to see Grey's. It the best shoe on ABC... i think october road will be out in January.

  • strop0909

    I love desperate housewives

  • Leo75

    Can't wait for Desperate Housewives...
    Go DH, DH ROCKS!!!

  • MrRussell

    greys anatomy is the only good thing there

  • PerfectDark0Fan

    Boston Legal, the rest is crap.

  • tainted_elf

    I'm particularly looking forward to Private Practice. Addison is a strong character and I think Kate Walsh is able to have a lead role. Only for that I'll watch, because I am not sure yet about the series in general. Yet I'll miss a lot her interaction with Karev.

  • Birds-of-Prey

    "Not to mention Womens Murder Club it is in a bad timeslot."

    Actually Women's Murder Club has not been placed in a bad spot. CBS's legal drama, Close to Home, which continually won that time spot, was cancelled this year and featured two female leads. And as more older people watch television on Friday nights and women will be looking for new shows with female leads, Women's Murder Club will be sure to pull in at least 9-10 million as I doubt the older population will be interested in Moonlight, which CBS has airing at this time.

  • brennan4booth

    Can't wait for the new Boston Legal and Dancing with the Stars but does anyone know when Bones starts back up?

  • txgirl75

    Why not but some new shows on besides DWTS on 3 times a week. I'm ready for ugly betty and Samantha who? Didn't realize they changed the name.

  • angrodpallanen

    October Road will be, just like Lost, a mid-season replacement, but it is renewed for a second season.

  • phsdancer37

    If you want lost, oct. road, boston legal time slots and news check the source itself, abc.com already has BL for same time slot, nothings taking it's place. They also split the sch. so you can see what will be in the time slot for fall and spring. With the exception of Lost, because that's pending the success/failure of the 3 new shows on wed. night.

    Anyway, how sad about Men In Trees. CBS owns that night, esp. with that time lot with Numb3rs. And now NBC with Friday Night LIghts (so good), so I hated the news of FNL moving against #'s, but now Men in trees, too. With the announcement of only spring Lost, I was sad because Wed. would suck, but Private practice being on is cool, and pushing daisies looks awesome!moreless

    Desperate Housewives ROOOOCKSS!!!

  • jaynebosco

    Wonder if anybody is going to watch 20/20 at 8pm on Fridays?

  • Disneygrl2

    FINALLY! cant wait for ugly betty! the suspense is killing me!

    and samantha who? YAY MELISSA MCCARTHY!

  • Dakotagirl823

    I don't think that Cashmere Mafia stands a chance competing against House. I think that the 10 PM time slot would be better for the show. I think the show sounds intersting. I hope that ABC will give Boston Legal good timeslot on Saturday night. BL is a well written show that has merited a decent timeslot since it aired. Then again, perhaps BL will be a midseason replacement.

  • serial_lover

    Kinda worried about "Men in Trees". They push it to one of the worst time slot of the week . . :(
    It's a great show and deserves better.

  • columpd

    so were is ABC's line up the one above looks very limp bar GA and UB there is not alot there

  • clabrazil

    Can't wait for pivate practice!!!!! Hope is as good as it sounds:)

  • zedtaker

    My Favourite channel with top shows like Desperate Housewives, Lost, Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty. I also like Brothers and sisters. I can't wait for Private Practice and Caveman. Lost will start in 2008 but I wish they told us when (Feb?).

  • widadita

    Im looking forward to watch DHW, Grey's, Brothers and sisters!!

    and in 2008: Lost and October Road

  • Indycargirl

    For me its Big Shots this fall, Eli Stone Mid-Season, and returning Lost & Brothers & Sisters.

  • logossun

    For myself, the most commercial lineup on TV. Horribly hip to that lowest common denominator.

  • chrestomancy

    i must say that things look very good for ABCI myself look forward to desperate housewives, grey's anatomy, dirrty sexy money and cashmere mafia.although big shots could be nice too.

  • tigger_20043840

    I really like the new shows that will aired this fall. I am looking forward to see Cashmere Mafia and Pushing Daisies. Keep your mind positive people and no matter where the shows will aired it should be watch or tapedtigger

  • teroriztah

    yeah. im goin for dirty sexy money!! hope its good

  • onaprilthird

    Wow, only Grey's Anatomy to watch this fall on ABC. Nothing else looks good at all.

  • tennisrobe26

    looking forward to big shots.

  • Michael85224

    They totally switched the lineup on Fridays :(. Men in trees at 9pm? It is going to get cancelled for sure now :(. Not to mention Womens Murder Club it is in a bad timeslot. I would Change 20/20 to Fridays at 9:00pm at 8:00 Big shots 7:00 Men in trees. Womens Murder club would move to thursdays after Greys.

  • appara

    Love Peter Krause...I'm in for Dirty Sexy Money!! And of course, Grey's and its spinoff, and last but not least...Desperate Housewives

  • maaarin

    People, stop being so PARANOID. Lost, just like October Road, returns in January. It's mid-season and there are no official premiere dates yet. They will be announced sometime November. Geez.

  • bklynfinest77

    SO I guess October Road is not coming back ... I really liked that show

  • PaxPhoenix

    Private Practice and Grey's, wednesdays and thursdays.

    Yeah, Lost starts in 2008, only 16 eps.

  • linkinfnpark19

    i think cavemen and carpoolers might actually do well

  • AlkaStealther

    Lost starts in 2008 right?
