Early Thoughts -ABC Version

Its ABC's time!
With all but one new drama series cancelled/or waiting to get the ax, ABC needs a lot of new shows and to use their declining hits like "Grey's Anatomy" & "Desperate Housewives", to launch them. Besides the already five scripted shows that the alphabet has renewed (Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, The Middle, Modern Family and Cougar Town) "Desperate Housewives" is sure coming back, "Body of Proof" too and i'd expect "V" or "Brothers & Sisters" to have a last minute renewal! (I vote V). Everything else goes to my favorite tv graveyard. (And the bubble comedies too). I don't know about "Better With You". I really enjoy the show but the ratings are bad. But i'll say more about this show later.

So here is my suggestion

MONDAY
8pm DWTS
9pm DWTS
10pm Georgetown

Ok i'm not expecting ABC to premiere "Georgetown" after the super coveted post-dwts slot, on matter how (and if) they like the pilot. But it's my schedule right? A 20something show, politics, Katie Cassidy. I just love it.

TUESDAY
8pm DWTS -Results
9pm Charlies Angels
10pm Body Of Proof

Move the DWTS RESULTS show to 8pm. It is a strong show opposite ratings beasts (Glee/NCIS). Launch Charlie's Angels at 9pm followed by the only this year's successful rookie "Body Of Proof".

WEDNESDAY
8pm The Middle
8:30 COugar Town
9pm Modern Family
9:30 Don't Trust The Bitch in Apt 23
10pm CASTLE

ABC & 20TH FOX (studio that produce the show) LOVED the "Bitch in Apt 23" pilot. And i love the title. Seriously don't change the pilot. CASTLE is now a established show(really?) so it might ressurect their Wed 10pm death slot after a buch of failures (Eastwick,Happy Town, Ugly Betty, The Whole Truth, Off The Map).

THURSDAY (Or SHONDADAY)
8pm Private Practice
9pm Greys Anatomy
10pm Damage Control

While i'm kinda skeptical about this one, for abc its all about launching their best pilot out of their best performing shows. Its now or never. So move Private Practice to 8pm, and have Rhimes's new pilot following the Shonda-motherhood.

FRIDAY
8pm Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
9pm Better With You
9:30 New Comedy
10pm 20/20

There was a lot of speculation about a TGIF comedy block. Paul Lee wants it. "Better with you" got a big sampling last Monday after DWTS. Maybe they need to try it after the decling "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" on Fridays followed by another family friendly comedy.

SUNDAY
7pm AFV
8pm Secret Millionaire/ New reality
9pm Desperate Housewives
10pm Good Christian Bitches

The same as Greys Anatomy. ABC should use DHW to launch a similar-themed and excellent cast "Good Christian Bitches".
