No Ordinary Family highlights ABC's new programs.
ABC unveiled its 2010-2011 schedule today, and it shouldn't be too hard for fans of the network's returning shows to find them next season.
Castle, the Wednesday-night comedy block, Shonda Rhimes' Thursday double-dip of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, and Sunday's pairing of Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters all remain in their time slots. In fact, none of the networks to reveal schedules so far have shaken things up that much when deciding where to put returning shows.
V is the exception, and is nowhere to be found on ABC's fall schedule (it aired four episodes last fall before being returning in March); it looks like the the alien-invasion series will be held for midseason.
Of the network's new shows, high-profile superhero drama No Ordinary Family opens Tuesday nights at 8pm, and cop show Detroit 1-8-7 closes the evening, sandwiching Dancing With the Stars in between. Relationship comedy Better Together squeezes into Wednesday night, replacing Hank. New drama My Generation kicks things off on Thursdays, and Rhimes' new doctor drama Off the Map is being held until midseason.
Here's the whole fall schedule:

I'm interested in "No Ordinary Family" but I have a weakness for "people with powers". The only good one so far, that isn't anime, was The 4400. So I hope to see something come close, though no one could realy match up to the writing expertise of Rene Echevarria and Ira Steven Behr.
I'll only be watching Desperate Housewives and Castle (although Castle is getting a bit boring, even with Nathan Fillion, probably because they made him so metrosexual, yawn!)I hope V doesn't get canceled. I didn't watch it the first time around, so it's all new to me, plus I like SciFi, so I'm a bit more tolerant of mediocre SciFi LOL
i was tripped out for a second because i thought when i saw better together its was BETTER OF TED coming back.
I like V, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that this will probably be the last season. :(
And so the demise of V begins I expect it to be canceled on the Always be Canceling network.
I'm still disappointed that Better Off Ted got canceled. :(
I just joined TV.com and have a question. V is one of my favorite shows and it is noted several times that it has been pushed to "Mid-Season" Is that mid-season 2010 or 2011 please? Thanks...
I'm just happy that V actually got renewed - It may be mid season but if it rates well enough they'll still keep it on the air so who really cares!
V sounded like a good idea. Too bad it was not.
WTF, ABCs ex should be grinded into executive powder. The only shows worth watching is V and Happy town. And how do they expect us to follow their shows when they get cancelt almost immediatly?? Enough with the god damn cop-dramas and teen bulcrap!!
I give up on ABC ever making the right choice on any of there programing .
This move for V is what will lead to it's cancellation..i would bet anything!
V could return in the fall if "Body of Proof" or "The Whole Truth" get canceled right off the bat because of low ratings.
V shouldn't have even made it
boooooo V should get a full season order!
sounds like abc may be getting some good shows.
