ABC pulls out nine new shows for the fall:
Sunday remains their stable night with the return of America's Funniest Home Videos, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Desperate Housewives, and Brothers & Sisters.
Monday brings back the 90 minute version of Dancing with the Stars (which will be replaced by Wife Swap when its cycle ends) followed by the new comedy Sam I Am, about a woman who awakens from an 8-day coma with complete amnesia about who she was before an accident. Starting over, she learns that she while she's much nicer now, she may have enjoyed herself more then (the alphabet network will return Notes from the Underbelly in the winter and team it up with this show). Returning The Bachelor completes the night (to be replaced by the returning October Road when its cycle is finished).
Tuesday’s starts off with Caveman which seems to be inspired by the Geico commercials, about three modern cavemen try to make it in the modern world. This is a surprise pick-up, as it was reported in the press that the pilot was awful. I’ll lay a bet that this is the falls first cancellation. The new comedy Carpoolers airs next, and based on its concept -four very different men use their daily commute to bond and vent about their lives - seems just as thin an idea as Caveman. Dancing with the Stars the result show fills out the 9pm hour (to be replaced by the new show Cashmere Mafia -about four female best friends since business school who band together to conquer New York -after its cycle is complete), while Boston Legal returns to complete the night.
ABC takes a big risk with Wednesday, debuting three new 1 hour shows. First off, from the quirky mind of Bryan Fuller (Star Trek: Voyager, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Heroes) comes Pushing Daisies - about man that discovers his touch can bring the dead back to life -- but they die again if he touches them a second time. Private Practice, the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, airs next and has Dr. Addison Montgomery setting up a new life with some old friends in Southern California. The darkly humorous drama Dirty Sexy Money fills out the night and is about an idealistic lawyer who inherits his late father's practice -- representing a wealthy, ne'er-do-well family with a closet full of skeletons.
Thursday brings back one of the biggest hots of 2006-07, Ugly Betty, followed by a new season of Grey's Anatomy. The new drama show Big Shots fills out the night and is about four top executives who lean on one another for help in their personal and professional lives.
Friday has the returning Men in Trees, followed by the new drama Women's Murder Club, which is based on the horrendous James Patterson novels and follows four friends in San Francisco who combine their talents to solve murder cases. 20/20 finishes out the night.
Waiting in the wings: Eli Stone about a lawyer becomes convinced he's a modern-day prophet; Miss/Guided a comedy about a woman who was unpopular in high school, but returns to her alma mater as a guidance counselor.
Cancellations include According to Jim, Big Day, Daybreak, Extreme Makover, The George Lopez Show, The Great American Vote, Help Me Help You, In Case of Emergency, The Knights of Prosperity, The Nine, Show Me the Money, Six Degrees, and What About Brian.
Tomorrow: CBS
