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 Gears, The 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.

Midseason Review – Thursdays

We are on the back half of our look back at the offerings for the new fall season. Thursday night is traditionally the busiest night of the week for my television viewing habits, but not this year. Here’s what was on the slate for this season.

7:00

9-1-1 – Returning for its ninth season, and its third on ABC, although without star Peter Krause.

I’m not saying that sending two of the characters on a space adventure for the first three episodes of the season was a jump the shark moment, but I’m also not saying it wasn’t.

8:00

9-1-1: Nashville – Another spinoff, moving the franchise to Tennessee.

This isn’t clicking for me.  It doesn’t have the heart of the original.

9:00

Elsbeth – The The Good Wife spinoff returns for its third season, but I still have to watch the second one.

I’ve stopped recording this one but may circle back one day on streaming.

Grey’s Anatomy – The medical drama enters its 22nd season with the follow-up on last season’s explosion.

What can I say after 21+ seasons?  The show is what it is at this point.

And now the new entries:

Scrabble – The game show returns to The CW with a new host: Craig Ferguson.

Trivial Pursuit – LeVar Burton returns for a second go-around of the board game-based quiz show.
