ABC Upfronts

ABC wraps up upfront week with one of their most stable schedules in network history.  Monday once again will simulcast Monday Night Football with ESPN.  The one shock comes on Tuesday, where the next installment of Dancing With the Stars will be followed by R.J, Decker, which was considered to be a bubble show heading into this week.

Wednesday kicks off with the comedy block of Scrubs and Abbott Elementary, followed by another installment of Celebrity Jeopardy! and Shark Tank.  Thursday remains the same with the original 9-1-1 followed by 9-1-1: Nashville and the 23rd season of Grey’s Anatomy.  Friday sees Celebrity Wheel of Fortune followed by two hours of 20/20.  Sunday also stays stable, with America’s Funniest Home Videos followed by three hours of The Wonderful World of Disney.

On the bench for mid-season are new installments of High Potential, American Idol, The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, Shifting GearsThe Rookie, and Will Trent.  The one new scripted show for mid-season is The Rookie: North, a spinoff of The Rookie.

In a first, no shows were cancelled and never to be seen again.
